Jo Feeney

About Me

After suffering with acute Anorexia Nervosa for 7 years I am now totally cured. My miracle involved my faith in God, and my support from my health care professionals.

I believe I have been rescued from this life disaster to help other people, not just in the arena of eating disorders but who are in need in many areas.

I have recently published the whole story of my journey through anorexia back to life.

EXCERPT FROM "Free to Live the rest of my Journey"

‘...GOD, I’ll give you anything....but not my weight issues...’

One of the main characteristics of an eating disorder, more than the food issue is CONTROL. Everything else in your life can be like a whirlpool spinning out of control, but at least you have control over your weight (or it has control over you).

Anyone would have thought Jo Feeney had the life many dream about. As the daughter of a well-known pastor, and a wife of wonderful minister, it seemed from all who looked at her life that everything was wonderful. No-one would never have imagined the torment of obsession with anorexia she was to endure.

Jo bravely tells the story of the years in which her life spiralled out of control, and how she almost lost her life to the disease. She tells of the grace of a Loving Saviour who took her by the hand and rescued her life.

Jo has been totally healed from the eating disorder for over 10 years, and has a great desire to help others who are afflicted and affected beyond their control.
