Affordable Eating Disorder Courses Online

These on-demand eating disorder courses contain the education and tools I use most in my 1-1 sessions with clients and parents of children struggling with an eating disorder. 

When the COVID 19 pandemic hit I found my practice full, and my colleagues/referral base full as well. Simultaneously I became more passionate about the lack of accessibility in eating disorder treatment– it’s expensive and hard to get in with good providers. I want to provide accessible eating disorder services that allow parents and eating disorder clients to get help for less money and sooner. 

What people are saying:

“The course about feeding your teen and preteen contains extremely useful information about topics like the division of responsibility, cues vs calories, and the use of growth charts. And the course focused on how to tell if your teen has an eating disorder was very accessible, short, and not overwhelming. Plus it included great resources.”
