Introduction by Kris Stenson, Faith Partners Member

 

Michelle Goldberger, COR Program Director

COR Program Director Michelle Goldberger is a food addict with over seven years of stable recovery, who has maintained a sixty-pound weight loss for six years.  A recovered alcoholic as well, she has been clean and sober for seventeen years.

 

Michelle’s battles with addiction and experience with the solution she found in the 12 Steps answered for her the mystery facing so many others:  “Why does this keep happening to me?”  Through COR she passes on what she has learned about a new way of living for those seeking freedom from compulsive overeating.

 

She is a conference speaker on addiction and has facilitated recovery groups and workshops at prominent treatment centers, such as The Retreat, for over ten years.  In addition to her duties at COR, Michelle is currently a graduate student at the University of Minnesota.  She holds two teaching licenses in the State of Minnesota and has taught children and adults in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan public schools (District 196) since 2006.  And through it all, she also raised five boys.

 

COR was founded by Burt Nordstrand.   “Cor” is the Latin word for “heart” or “soul.”  COR is a residential retreat that teaches a way to live free from the obsession with food and the excess weight it causes.  It is a proven method to stop overeating.  COR is affiliated with The Retreat and is located on the Wayzata campus.
