Eating DIsorder Parental Support & Resource Guidance

Parents (loved one), since you have found me, I already know you have concerns. Helping your​ child, teenager, or young-adult daughter with body image issues and food challenges can be an intimidating​ task. You may feel as though ​whatever you do is neither working nor ​good enough. For most parents, the thought of being helpless can be so frustrating and scary. I, too, am a parent and would do just about anything to help my son. This is why I knew I needed to also ​offer support to parents early on in my coaching practice.

I am here to help you with resources, tools, an understanding of different eating disorder treatment options, finding potential funding and with what to say when she says, “____ (fill in the blank).”

Eating Disorders do not discriminate!​ However, our daughters, five years old to twenty-five years old, are the most vulnerable to the environment in which we live due to the messages shadowing food and body.

This is why I am a coach and ​want to help your daughter and you.

Our diet-fueled, thin-obsessed, and surface-driven culture continues to produce stunning and alarming statistics related to body dissatisfaction and disordered relationships with food. We are bombarded with mixed messages regarding nutrition, coupled with the false belief that exercise equals punishment. We are constantly being told that we must fix ourselves to be beautiful, accepted, loved, and successful.

The problem is that this pursuit is endless. The target is fiction, and the beauty and weight loss industry generates hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Yet obesity and eating disorders are at an all-time high. So, something is not working, and something is very wrong.

I tend to be an optimist and do not believe the beauty or diet industry is out to harm people just to make a buck. I also do not believe there is anything wrong with wanting to feel and look your best. What I do believe, however, is that we can do a much better job of raising our consciousness, grounding ourselves in what is most important, and celebrating what is within.
