eating disorder recovery philosophy
  • At Stillness + Salt, we understand that eating disorders are not just about food—they’re often ways the body and mind learn to survive when life feels overwhelming, unsafe, or out of control.

  • Our work is rooted in the belief that healing happens when both the mind and the body are supported. We combine a top-down approach (building awareness, challenging thoughts, learning new tools) with a bottom-up approach (supporting the nervous system, working with somatic sensations, and rebuilding body-based safety).

  • Many people feel frustrated in recovery because they “know what to do,” but their body still feels anxious, frozen, or stuck. We help you bridge that gap—so your body and brain are working together, not in conflict.

  • Whether you're struggling with restriction, bingeing, overexercise, body image distress, or food anxiety, this is a place where you don’t have to explain why it’s hard. We get it. We meet you with compassion, structure, and deep respect for the wisdom of your body.

  • Stillness reflects the inner calm that comes from feeling safe enough to pause and listen. Salt represents what is strong, sacred, and essential. Together, they hold space for a recovery process that is both gentle and powerful—a return to yourself.

Yours in healing,

​

“Healing is embracing what is most feared; healing is opening what has been closed, softening what has hardened into obstruction, healing is learning to trust life.”
