Elaine Hilides is a coach working with people from all walks of life on subjects as diverse as stress, weight loss and addictions. She is also the no.1 bestselling author of ‘MindFullness the No-Diet diet book’ and the creator of a number of popular courses hosted on Udemy including ‘Break Free from Addiction’ and ‘Love Food and Loose Weight without Dieting’. Back in 2009 Elaine wanted to make some changes in her life and so hired me as her coach. She became my apprentice just as I was transitioning into teaching the principles behind Clarity and began a journey that would see Elaine do things she never thought possible.
