Seminar Facilitators:
Michelle Anderson, M.A. is
a Psychotherapist and a Certified Yoga Instructor who
specializes in "counseling with the body in mind." She has found
through the combination of yoga and counseling that as the body
is engaged, the therapeutic experience has more depth and
effectiveness. Her work with weight loss surgery patients has
helped her develop specific yoga flows to support their changing
bodies and improving health. Michelle earned her M.A. in
Counseling Psychology from the Union Institute and University.
She divides her time between her private counseling practice and
as a Health Coach for St. Joseph's Hospital in Bellingham,
Washington.
Melissa McCreery, Ph.D.
is a Psychologist and Life Coach who specializes in helping
weight loss surgery patients
lose the weight, lose the shame, and create the life they crave
after surgery. She is a contributing writer for WLS
Lifestyles magazine and hosts a blog on emotional eating for
wlslifestyles.com. She is the founder of
Enduring
Change Coaching and the creator of The Emotional Eating
Toolbox™. She earned an M.A. and Ph.D. in
