TESTIMONIALS

“Through my work with Trish I have exposed and dealt with problems I had never admitted to myself or anyone else. She has given me the tools to regain control of my life and I have become a much happier and healthier person. I am finally emotionally and physically able to start a family, which means the world to me. Without her, I know I would not be where I am today, and for that I am truly grateful. – E.K. "

"Trish has been one of the most influential people in my recovery from anorexia. She is not only extremely educated on the nutritional aspect of recovery, but she is able to connect with her patients on such a personal level. Her own life experiences give her an understanding that sets her apart from others, but it is her genuine heart that allows her to care for her patients in a unique way. After two years of appointments, I can honestly say that Trish has been integral in my recovery through her knowledge, understanding, and constant encouragement".-Meredith

"I am so thankful that Trish was my dietician when I was struggling with an eating disorder. Trish was easy to talk to and be honest with because she is non-judgmental, genuine, understanding, and compassionate. I always left my appointments with motivation to keep trying. Trish truly is an expert in her field and teaches her clients the best way to become healthy and stay healthy. I am now a therapist who counsel’s women struggling with eating disorders - but that never would have been possible without Trish helping me heal first".

Mrs. Wilkins worked with me for several years and completely helped me turn around my eating disorder. She not only offered me outstanding nutritional guidance but she also helped my parents understand my disorder. She also referred me to several other doctors and continually worked with them to ensure my health was in good hands. Her kind nature, warm heart and expert advice allowed me to gain confidence in myself.

I really don't know where to begin in expressing my appreciation for all that Trish has done for me...her dedication to her work, her knowledge about nutrition, her willingness to be so open with her patients, and her genuine and caring nature all contribute to her ability to be so effective in helping 'eating disordered' patients to recover. Trish treats the 'whole' person--although nutrition may be a large focus, she never fails to take time to care for each aspect of my health: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual...reminding me that all of these areas of health are important and affect each other. Trish has a very clear personal mission to help in the healing of others and she is incredibly good at and successful in her work.

When I first started seeing Trish at the age of 14, I was suffering from a very severe case of anorexia nervosa. I was hospitalized in treatment facilities 8 different times, nearly losing my life during several of these treatments...now, seven years later, I am happy to say that I am a fortunate survivor of this lethal illness. Throughout my "sick" years, Trish has been a key person in my recovery process. Without Trish and my psychiatrist, I might not even be here today and I am absolutely CERTAIN I would not be recovered or the person I am today. Trish has 'held my hand' in facing this eating disorder monster every step of the way. Trish is more than a nutritionist...she is a confidante and friend to all-and I feel so grateful to have such a special person in my life.

Trish’s knowledge of nutrition and the complexities of eating disorders is superb; but for me, the key to healing had nothing to do with her clinical knowledge. I don’t trust easily and when first meeting Trish, I was leery. I had to trust I wouldn’t be judged or pushed. I had to know this person understood. Trish truly cares about her clients. Her easy-going manner and genuine concern created a place where I felt safe. Through tears and laughter, a grounded outlook, and genuine concern Trish provided the safe haven I needed to heal. And I know if I need that safe haven again, she will be there.

"In all honesty I don’t know where I’d be without Trish, but I’m almost positive that I would not be in the physically healthy place I am today. I first began seeing Trish a little more than two years ago when I was in a very serious episode of my eating disorder. She was extremely instrumental in helping me realize the need for inpatient treatment. Trish has a way of telling you what you need to hear in such a compassionate way that you can actually hear it and feel safe at the same time. She worked with my husband and me together when necessary, as she recognizes the importance of family involvement in the treatment and recovery phases. I did enter inpatient treatment, and I have seen Trish regularly since my discharge. Over the past two years, Trish has been so valuable in helping me maintain my recovery and in seeing me through my first pregnancy and, now, postpartum phase. My husband and I have a beautiful baby boy that my body simply could not have conceived or carried to term before my work with Trish began.

Without Trish, I don't think I would have made it through my first year of college. She gave me the motivation and reassurance I needed to get better. She is the most knowledgeable nutritionist I have ever been to, and the fact that she had an eating disorder herself makes her words that much more sincere, not to mention helpful.--Lindsay

"Trish Wilkins is a very knowledgeable dietician/nutritionist and a wonderful friend. When we came to her for our first appointment, our whole family was a mess. Our daughter, Sarah, was suffering from the beginning stages of anorexia. We were scared and didn't know where to turn. Fortunately, a friend of mine gave me Trish's name. Without Trish, our daughter wouldn't be alive today. She is a kind and gentle person that really understands how the mind works in retraining yourself to eat to be healthy. She made all of us understand how to take this disease one day at a time and how to work together as a family. Also, her connections allowed us to get the best medical care available. For this we will forever be grateful." ~Sincerely, Michele

When i was referred to Trish a few months ago i was very skeptical. I had been to two other nutritionalist who really were not impressive. After our first meeting i knew she was someone special, and that i was on the right track. Trish has a way of getting right to the issues. She is very knowledgeable, warm and supportive. I look forward to continuing my journey with her. MG

There have been many people in my life who have inspired me and cared for me. But Trish Wilkins has inspired me the most. Even though my eating disorder brought me to her, I am so thankful that she is a part of my life. I hate to think about what my life would be like if I had never met Trish. I do not think I would be in the strong state of recovery I am in now, nor do I feel I would be alive. I love Trish with all my heart and thinking about life without her brings tears to my eyes. Trish is my role model, my inspiration, and a source of comfort. She gives the best hugs ever. Trish has made a significant impact on me and will be a part of my life forever. I hope she knows how very much I love her and am thankful for her.
