"I feel on track, and the freedom of that is immense."

Through the teachings in my Women, Food & Forgiveness Academy, Lola stopped abandoning herself and grew to love her body exactly as it is.

Meet your mentor

I’m Marcella Friel, a lifelong student of forgiveness and feminine wisdom.

For four decades I’ve walked a path of spiritual practice and recovery, rooted in Buddhist teachings and 12-Step living.

These traditions taught me that true healing is born from kindness toward ourselves and service to others.

This is the spirit in which I welcome you: one heroine to another, remembering who we are, together.

"Marcella, you have got such a gift! When you're working with individuals you really focus on what they need, and the ideas that pop into your head to me are just mind-blowing.

God has definitely given you a real gift for helping people heal."

—Gail G., Anacortes, WA

"I have a sense of hope that I simply didn't have before."

Through my Women, Food & Forgiveness Academy, Bethany healed so much more than her food. She gained an astonishing new outlook on her entire life.

Listen to her heartfelt story.

"I've made major changes in how I eat and how I think about food, but it's so much more than just that. This work has given me a different sense of who I am."
