About Me.

Hey, I’m Ciandra.

I am so happy you are here.

As an experienced eating disorder recovery coach, I am passionate about guiding individuals towards a life of freedom, balance, and self-love. I am dedicated to helping individuals who are struggling with eating disorders to overcome their challenges and find healing.

Through my personalised coaching programs, I offer support, accountability, and guidance to individuals at any stage of their recovery journey. My approach is compassionate and empowering, and I believe in treating each person as a unique individual with their own strengths and challenges.

Join me on this journey towards recovery, and let's Flourish together.

Ciandra’s Story

At the young age of 13, I developed Anorexia Nervosa, an eating disorder that has the highest mortality rate of all mental health illnesses. Having been bullied for being overweight throughout my entire childhood, I set out on a ‘healthy eating and exercise regime’ which soon spiralled into an all-consuming eating disorder.

The physical consequences of my eating disorder were terrible. My hair was falling out, I was cold all the time and all I could think about was numbers and food. Luckily for me, after starting day patient therapy and an inpatient stay, coupled with a few near-death experiences I had my turning point which changed my life. I recall recognising how ill I had become, with the awful effects of starvation on my physical and mental health. Thankfully I chose life and my long, arduous but transformative process of recovery began.

I have to point out that recovery is NOT an overnight process and there may be ups and downs along the road. The first step to my recovery was accepting help and that I was the only one who could do recovery for me. I needed to learn to accept myself and achieve a good relationship with my body image and food. This was an uncomfortable process, but reaching out to others who were also in the same process of eating disorder recovery made me feel I wasn’t so alone.

Sadly, there are so many others experiencing the same struggles as I went through, and by starting my mental awareness account on Instagram, I began sharing my story and supporting others in their recovery. This experience enabled me to discover my “voice” and passion to be a beacon of hope for health and happiness.”

And so, Flourish with Ciandra was born and my mission to coach, support and get people on the path to health and wellbeing started.

“My eating disorder took over, I lost my personality and all I cared about was my body, food, and how to get away with not eating my next meal.”

  • "I’ve become a hell of a lot more confident and I feel like I’ve improved my general happiness in my daily life!"

    I can’t thank Ciandra enough for how much she has helped me grow as a person and helped me improve my daily thoughts around food. I never thought years of damaging thoughts and low body image could be changed in a matter of months.

    Honestly would happily recommend Ciandra to anyone who is wanting and willing to help themselves!

  • "From practical everyday tips to digging into the mechanism of thoughts, her support has been immense. "

    Coaching with Ciandra has been extremely helpful and inspirational since we started. I was about to abandon all my efforts just before, but because I've been properly and humanly listened to, instead, we have been building better resources to not fall down the trap of my eating disorder again.

    Thanks to this winning team, every day shines under a new colour and I am able to notice the massive progress since - for both the eating part and the re-wiring of the brain. Thank you so so much Ciandra!

  • "Ciandra is an incredible coach and goes above and beyond for her clients. "

    Before meeting Ciandra, I was lost in my eating disorder recovery post-hospitalisation. I found her on Instagram and took a chance with a trial call. Her guidance, tools, and unwavering support have been pivotal in my recovery journey.

    After three months of sessions, I'm making great strides against anorexia and rebuilding my self-relationship. Thanks to Ciandra, I'm on a healing path with food and myself.

  • “I regret not starting with Ciandra earlier."

    I have been yo-yo-ing in and out of recovery for ages. In such a short space of time I have progressed further than I ever have done before. I have never felt this confident that I will recover.

    My life is already filled with so much joy and happiness, I can’t even imagine what my life will be I’ll like in a couple of months time. You don’t know what you have been missing until you gain it back again!
