Kristie Amadio

New Zealand

Recovery Coach

Currently not taking new clients.

One of a kind, irrepressible enthusiasm and candid honesty is what forms the basis of Kristie’s essence. A former elite athlete, she worked as a counsellor in both Australia and New Zealand before commencing coaching in America. She uses the same strength she required in her own recovery to guide and inspire others, while her genuine compassion allows her to connect easily with clients.

Kristie has a Bachelor of Counselling, from the Australian College of Applied Psychology and a Masters of Counselling from Monash University in Australia. Kristie is a Certified Eating Disorder Coach with the Carolyn Costin Institute, and was invited to speak about the role and growth of eating disorder coaching at the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals symposium. She is a Provisional Member Registered with the New Zealand Association of Counsellors.

Carmen Carson Gorospe

USA

Recovery Coach

Warm, thoughtful, and caring, Carmen knows the dedication it takes to be fully recovered.

  Prior to becoming a recovery coach, Carmen was an athlete, a professional chef, and most recently became a mother – something she thought would never be possible for her.  

Something Carmen holds a great deal of gratitude for, is the people who held space and hope for her when she was struggling.  In turn, Carmen’s trademark as a coach is that she holds space and hope for her clients, even when they don’t hold it for themselves.

In her spare time, Carmen is a keen paddle boarder and values time spent with friends and family.

Caryn Raba

USA

Recovery Coach

Loyal, honest and a quirky sense of humor, Caryn has been an athlete since the age of 4. She worked as a counselor and mentor in Substance abuse treatment for 10 years before coming into eating disorder recovery Coaching.

She knows the importance of meeting a client where they are at, yet encouraging them to challenge themselves, as that is what was so important in her own recovery.

She believes that strong, supportive relationships are key to getting better and the only people who don’t recover, are the ones who stop trying.

Caryn is a Certified Eating Disorder Coach with the Carolyn Costin Institute.

Lori Lee

USA

Recovery Coach

‘All heart’ are the words that spring to mind when trying to describe Lori.  The only way she knows how to be, is all in, compassionate, and never gives up.  Ever.

With a fierce zest for life, Lori walks her talk when she says, ‘Know who you are beyond the temporary labels, because everything is temporary besides your soul.’  

In 2015 Lori was in a dirt bike accident which for a year, left her out of work, needing 5 surgeries, and having to learn how to walk again.

Not once did she reach out to the shadows of a past eating disorder, because she was reaching in for her inner strength and wisdom – the very qualities that shine through so strongly in her Coaching.

Having Lori on your team means you have unwavering support and someone who has been to the depths and back...willing to show you the way forward.

 Lori is a Certified Eating Disorder Coach with the Carolyn Costin Institute.

Jenny Mullaney

USA

Recovery Coach

Knowledgeable. Motivating. Compassionate. Jenny is a former professional dancer and dance teacher. She has a B.A. in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in psychology. She is a certified reiki practitioner, published author and standup comedian.

In 2017, Jenny felt a calling to give back to the same community that forever changed the course of her life. So, she enrolled in the Carolyn Costin Institute to become a Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach.

Jenny is excited and passionate about sharing the lessons she learned in recovery, and from the certification process, with her clients.

She subscribes to the philosophy that one can be fully recovered from an eating disorder, as she herself is recovered.

Jenny takes an individualized approach to coaching and believes in meeting each client where they are at, in order to forage a path of healing. Being recovered is possible and she is here to help you.
