Rooted in the nervous system, the body, and nature’s rhythms.
Before anything else, let me say this
If you have found your way here, it is likely not because you are looking for another method.
Most women who arrive here are quietly tired in a way that can be difficult to explain.
Not collapsed, not dramatic, but stretched thin from living for years inside the same tension around food and their body.
The tension between tightening control and losing it again.
Between being “good” and then feeling as though they have failed.
Between wanting freedom and also feeling afraid of what might happen if they stopped managing everything so carefully.
From the outside they usually function well. They carry responsibility and solve most things in their lives through responsibility, effort and persistence.
But with food something feels unsettled.
Hunger is no longer simple, cravings feel hard and charged, evenings often feel heavier than they should, and a subtle internal monitoring runs quietly in the background of daily life.
Most have tried to resolve this through more discipline, structure, and trying harder.
For a while that effort can appear to work, yet the tension gradually returns.
What begins to erode is not only consistency, but over time the trust in their body is gradually stripped away, one layer at a time.
You are not here because you lack willpower.
More often the nervous system has simply been living under pressure for a long time.
Patterns that formed while the body was adapting to survival do not dissolve through more control. They begin to reorganize when the body experiences greater safety.
That is where my work begins.
The deeper shift this work supports
This work is not only about changing eating patterns.
It is about helping women move out of a way of living where much of their energy goes into holding themselves together through control, monitoring, and hard internal tension.
And into a different way of being in their lives.
One where the body feels safer to live in, where there is less need to brace, manage, or override, where eating becomes simpler, not because of effort, but because the internal state has changed.
As the nervous system begins to settle, something else also starts to return.
More space, more ease, moments of quiet and a sense of being here, rather than slightly outside of your own life.
For many women, this is unfamiliar at first. Not dramatic or overwhelming, but just a gradual shift from holding everything together to actually being inside their own experience as it unfolds.
This is often where something deeper begins to change, reaching beyond food and into how they live and experience themselves in everyday life.
One woman described the experience of this work in this way
“After just two weeks of working with Camilla, I've made some massive shifts in my mindset and I've stopped binge eating. This is something completely different.”
— Heidi B.
The deeper reason behind this work
Over the years I have seen again and again that women are rarely struggling because they lack knowledge about food.
More often their nervous systems have been living in pressure for so long that eating patterns have become part of that physiological state.
When a body adapts to chronic activation through perfectionism, being “the good girl”, responsibility, shame, or self-surveillance, it does not settle simply because a better food plan appears.
It settles when the system experiences enough safety to stop holding and bracing.
The patterns that develop around food often make sense when the internal state of the body is understood.
This work therefore goes beyond mindset or nutritional strategy alone.
It involves nervous system regulation and somatically anchored work, where shifts in internal state and activation allow behavior to change in a way that feels more integrated, flowing and less forced.
"I don’t teach women how to control themselves.
I help them feel safe enough to trust themselves again."
- Camilla Sage
Who I work with
Most of the women who come into this work look steady from the outside, but feel internally exhausted.
They are used to being capable and responsible, often the one others rely on.
They continue functioning and pushing even when something inside feels tight and about to break.
Food gradually becomes loaded with meaning, and eating is no longer neutral.
Instead there is an ongoing internal negotiation between rules and hunger, restraint and desire, effort and fatigue.
Underneath this pattern there is often quiet questions:
If I stop controlling this, will it get worse?
If I stop dieting, will everything spiral?
If I try to listen to my body, will I even recognize its signals anymore?
So the negotiation continues.
Women rarely arrive asking for nervous system regulation.
Most simply say they are tired of living this way.
Tired of thinking about food, tired of starting over and tired of feeling as though this one area of life refuses to settle.
What they are often longing for is something more than relief.
A sense of calm, mental quiet and a way of being in themselves that feels steady enough to live from.
Why this work is different
My background is in clinical nutrition, psychology, binge and emotional eating, and somatic bodywork. Over time I have come to see how deeply physiology, emotional experience, and eating behavior are intertwined.
Knowledge alone rarely shifts a nervous system that has learned to brace.
What tends to change patterns is helping the body feel supported and regulated, and experience food and eating as safe again.
When we work together we look not only at what you eat, but also at the state from which you eat.
The cycles between restriction and urgency, control and collapse, shame and restarting are explored within the broader context of nervous system regulation.
This work moves at a pace the body can sustain. Not forcing change, but allowing patterns to reorganize as the system becomes more regulated.
Because of that, this work is not a quick fix. It is a steady process of helping the nervous system settle into greater safety, so that eating patterns can change from a more stable foundation.
And from there, something more becomes possible.
Not just freedom around food, but a life that feels less managed and more lived.
Another woman shared this after our work together
“This time last year I was barely scraping by. I was binge eating every day, shaming myself and hiding the evidence from my husband after. Thanks to Camilla's help I've stopped binging, and I'm a happier, healthier person for myself and my family.”
— Marianne H.
My life is part of this work
I live on a small island outside Bergen, where life moves with tides, seasons, and quiet rhythms.
This is not branding. It is simply the way I live, and it supports the kind of work I offer.
Alongside this slower pace are years of clinical experience sitting with women who carry shame, secrecy, urgency, and exhaustion around food.
I have seen what long-term dieting can do to self-trust. And I have also seen what begins to change when the body finally experiences safety again.
I do not meet you as a problem to be fixed. I meet you as a system that adapted intelligently to survive and as someone who, given the right conditions, can begin to soften out of that survival.
You may feel at home in this work if
You have spent years trying to manage your relationship with food through discipline or control, and sense that something deeper in the body may be involved.
You function well in many areas of life but feel privately exhausted by the tension around food, eating, weight or your relationship to your body.
You are less interested in another strategy and more interested in understanding what your nervous system has been carrying.
You are open to approaching change as a steady process, where trust is built over time.
Wondering where to start?
Many women begin either with an introductory course or with a clarity conversation where we explore whether this work feels like the right next step.
There is no pressure to decide immediately.
Often it is enough simply to notice what resonates, and whether your body recognizes something here.
“Most women don’t need to become stronger.
They need to feel safe enough to stop surviving and start living.”
