Turning Personal Struggle into a Pathway to Healing
My name is Elaine Davis, and my journey has shaped everything I do today.
From the age of 15 to 25, I lived in the exhausting cycle of eating disorders. I know the deceptive sense of control that fuels anorexia. I understand the guilt and shame that accompany bulimia and binge eating. I know the strain of keeping up outward appearances while battling silent despair inside. I know what it feels like to be your own harshest critic.
Yet I also know that full recovery is possible. I am living proof.
My Transformation
I achieved something many believe is impossible — I overcame my eating disorder completely. I now live at a healthy weight without obsessing over scales, calorie charts, or rigid meal plans. More importantly, I have learned to trust my body, make peace with food, and embrace life fully.
This transformation is the foundation of my work. It is why I created the Get My Family Name blog — to help other women break free from food and weight struggles and rediscover the joy of living.
Since 2006, I have supported thousands of women online in overcoming eating and weight problems, guiding them toward lasting change and a healthier relationship with themselves.
Recognized and Trusted
My work has been featured in respected publications such as Stern – Gesund leben, CLOSER, EMMA, and DONNA. I have appeared on national television networks including RTL, WDR, and RTL II, sharing insights as an expert on eating disorders.
I have also spoken at events like BodyTalk hosted by the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, where I discussed the role of online communities in recovery. Since 2006, the Federal Centre for Health Education has recommended my site as a trusted resource from someone with lived experience.
What I Stand For
- Helping women understand that the real struggle is not their body, but their thoughts about their body
- Showing that diets can be harmful and may lead to disordered eating
- Helping women reconnect with their natural hunger and fullness cues
- Encouraging self-worth that is not defined by appearance or weight
- Revealing the opportunities for growth hidden behind food and body struggles
- Building a community of women who support, inspire, and empower each other
My Approach
What I teach is not theory — it is lived experience. Those who have struggled often recognize themselves in my story, and this connection builds trust. I have walked the path from eating disorder to full recovery, and I know that walking it together with like-minded people makes it easier.
For those ready to invest in themselves, I offer a structured self-help program designed to guide you step-by-step toward freedom from disordered eating and a happier, healthier life.
Your First Step
To help you get started, I offer a free First Aid Kit — a resource that includes my personal story, a revealing self-test, my two most important recovery insights, and a powerful MindDetox meditation.

You do not have to face this journey alone. Together, we can replace fear and restriction with trust and freedom — not just with food, but with life itself.
