For Parents Navigating an Eating Disorder Crisis
​
Many parents contact me after suddenly realizing their child may have an eating disorder.
Sometimes it begins with a doctor mentioning medical risk. Other times eating, exercise, or weight loss escalates quickly and families find themselves trying to understand what is happening and what to do next.
My role is to help families slow things down, understand the medical and behavioral realities of eating disorders, and navigate recovery with thoughtful guidance alongside medical and therapeutic care.
Eating Disorder Recovery Coaching
As your coach, I am here to help identify the issues that are keeping you from moving forward in eating disorder recovery. We will work together in recognizing behaviours that are no longer helpful. I will help you develop skills that will allow you to thrive and feel empowered. Each session is tailored and customized to your unique needs. You can expect our sessions to include personal discussion, setting in between session goals, mind, body, soul therapies and after hours support via text and email. You will be encouraged to text or reach out when additional support is needed in the present moment.
One of my main duties​ as your coach is to assist you with ​feeling​ connected to someone who truly understands the eating disorder journey; moreover, has the skills and knowledge to guide ​you.

They asked her,
“Can time heal you?”
She answered,
“You are the key to your healing, not time. Hurt, trauma and dense conditioning will continue sitting in your mind, impacting your emotions and behavior, until you go inward. What heals is self-love, learning to let go, self-awareness and building new habits.”
