Eating Disorder Recovery and Navigating ...

HARRIET FREW
About this episode

Today I’m talking to Michelle Rosko, who is a holistic health & fitness coach, certified personal trainer, & nutrition coach.

Michelle has been on her own eating disorder recovery journey and now comes to the health and fitness space with a compassionate, sustainable, & holistic approach.

She is host of the podcast Fitness Freedom. Michelle has an online programme, the 4H method, which brings together Hope, Habits, Happiness and Health.

Michelle helps her clients build healthy routines for their lifestyle, look in the mirror & love what they see, go from hating the gym to loving exercise, stop the extreme yo-yo dieting & exercise, & make peace with all foods. Michelle supports people to trust their bodies rather than giving quick fixes that don’t last. She wants all her clients to experience true joy, peace and freedom.

Michelle describes herself as queer, multi-racial, international cat mum, lover of nature, movement, all the flavours of ice cream, travel, & genuine connection.

In the episode today, Michelle talks about her own recovery journey and the challenges she faced along the way. She also dives into her 4H method and the valuable work she does with her clients in healing relationship with food and body. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.
