SUMMARY:Safeguarding Recovery in College and Beyond: Supporting the Transition to Emerging  Adulthood
DESCRIPTION:The transition to college represents a critical developmental period marked by increased independence\, shifting routines\, changes in food access and eating environments\, and reduced caregiver oversight. For adolescents and young adults with eating disorders\, these changes may introduce new vulnerabilities to symptom recurrence or relapse\, particularly when recovery is incomplete\, supports are withdrawn too quickly\, or early warning signs go unrecognized. \nEating disorder professionals play an important role in helping patients and families determine readiness for college\, anticipate potential challenges\, and develop individualized plans that balance increasing autonomy with the level of support necessary to protect recovery. Dietitians are particularly well-positioned to assess whether patients can reliably meet nutritional needs across changing environments/routines and to identify subtle changes in eating behavior. \nThis presentation will examine why the transition to college can represent a period of heightened vulnerability for individuals with eating disorders and identify clinical indicators of both readiness and risk. Participants will learn practical\, evidence-informed strategies for preparing patients for the nutritional\, social\, environmental\, and developmental demands of college while maintaining appropriate recovery supports. The presentation will further explore the transition from caregiver-supported recovery toward greater patient autonomy using a collaborative\, patient-centered model focused on establishing clear expectations\, monitoring plans\, relapse prevention strategies\, and thresholds for increasing support when concerns emerge.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will: \n\nEvaluate the transition to college as a period of potential vulnerability for eating disorder onset\, recurrence and relapse and identify clinical indicators of recovery stability and college readiness. \nIdentify nutrition-specific markers of college readiness and implement strategies to support adequate\, consistent\, and flexible nutrition across common college environments. \nDevelop individualized transition and relapse-prevention plans that appropriately balance emerging autonomy with caregiver involvement\, treatment team support\, monitoring\, and timely escalation of care.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel: A/B\nLevel A: Foundational Knowledge\n\nThis level introduces core concepts\, terminology\, and basic principles. Participants gain a solid understanding of essential information needed to build competence in the subject area. Ideal for newcomers or those seeking a structured overview.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel B: Skills and Application\nAt this level\, learners move beyond theory to actively apply knowledge in practical settings. Emphasis is on developing proficiency\, problem-solving\, and hands-on skills that can be implemented in real-world scenarios. Ideal for practitioners looking to strengthen their capabilities. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nKelly Bhatnagar\, Ph.D.\, FAED Bio:\nDr. Kelly Bhatnagar (she/her) is a licensed clinical psychologist who has specialized in the scientific study and treatment of eating disorders and related psychological conditions for over 20 years. Dr. Bhatnagar completed her undergraduate and graduate studies in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland\, Ohio.

SUMMARY:Weight Inclusive Diabetes and Eating Disorders December Consult Group
DESCRIPTION:Join your colleagues for a monthly group consultation focused specifically on supporting your clients & patients with diabetes and eating disorders/disordered eating\, facilitated by Erin Phillips\, MPH\, RD\, CDCES\, eating disorder dietitian and diabetes specialist. \nIn this laid-back group format\, we’ll discuss specific questions and topics brought by you specific to diabetes and disordered eating. People with diabetes are up to three times as likely to develop an eating disorder than those without diabetes\, but many clinicians feel that the recommendations for each of these diagnoses contradict each other\, leaving you and your clients & patients feeling stuck. This group is intended to provide guidance to this nuance. \nTo get you started\, here are some examples of what you might bring to the group: \n\nMedications\, side effects\, and how to discuss them with your client/patient\nWhere to start when your ED client/patient is diagnosed with diabetes\nWhat to know about insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors\nCase consultation on co-occurring diabetes and eating disorder\n\nRegistration is required\, and we’ll limit the number of members to 8 in order to keep it participatory. The group will take place monthly and will require registration each month. After registering\, you’ll receive information about where to send questions\, topics\, or your case study. \nRegistration opens here two weeks prior to the event. \n\n\n\n\n\nErin Phillips Bio:\nErin (she/her) is a Registered Dietitian (RD) whose work is grounded in Health at Every Size and fat-positive nutrition. She has an advanced certification as a diabetes specialist (CDCES) and has spent most of her career working with people living with all types of diabetes. \nShe has a private practice that focuses primarily on the intersection of diabetes and eating disorders. She works with people living with diabetes through individual counseling as well as providing consultation to clinicians looking to be more grounded and confident in supporting their clients and patients with co-occurring diagnoses of diabetes and eating disorders. \nWhile she loves geeking out over diabetes technology and blood sugar trends\, Erin also uses therapeutic techniques to guide her clients toward self-compassion and embodiment and finds both of these equally helpful in making peace with food and diabetes. \nErin has been a dietitian since 2008 and received advanced training in eating disorders\, HAES\, and Intuitive Eating. She has an undergraduate degree in food and nutrition science from Seattle Pacific University and a graduate degree in public health nutrition from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. \nOutside of the office\, she loves rock climbing in the pacific northwest\, breakfast\, and showing you pictures of her cat (as often as you’ll let her!).

SUMMARY:Navigating Adolescent Athletes with Eating Disorders in Outpatient Care
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores how clinicians can effectively support adolescent athletes navigating eating disorders within an outpatient setting. Topics include conducting a thorough assessment to determine when early outpatient interventions may be appropriate and how to meaningfully involve parents from the start. \nWe’ll examine clinical indicators for transitioning to FBT or higher levels of care when progress stalls or symptoms escalate. Guidance will be provided on safely integrating exercise and sport throughout recovery using athlete‑specific best practices\, along with practical fueling strategies tailored to the high energy demands of this population. The session emphasizes meeting families where they are\, maintaining safety\, and supporting sustainable performance and healing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will: \n\nIdentify assessment strategies: Equip clinicians to identify when outpatient care is appropriate for adolescent athletes with eating disorders and apply effective methods for engaging parents early in treatment.\nDifferentiate levels of care: Enable providers to recognize clinical indicators that warrant initiating Family‑Based Treatment (FBT) or recommending higher levels of care when outpatient progress is limited.\nIntegrate sport and fueling safely: Strengthen clinician ability to guide athletes and families in safely returning to sport\, following athlete‑specific best practices\, and implementing fueling strategies that meet elevated energy needs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel B: Skills and Application\n\n\nAt this level\, learners move beyond theory to actively apply knowledge in practical settings. Emphasis is on developing proficiency\, problem-solving\, and hands-on skills that can be implemented in real-world scenarios. Ideal for practitioners looking to strengthen their capabilities.\n  \nKatie Gilder\, MPH\, RD\, LD Bio: \n\n\nKatie has worked for the last 15 years in multiple settings and has experience with adolescents and families as well as adults. She has specialized in helping adolescents and young adults with eating disorders for the past 10 years\, has extensive training and experience in supporting families with FBT(TAY)\, and believes in individualizing care for clients and families. She works to help people find the food philosophy that works for them and improve their relationship with food through a Health At Every Size lens.\nKatie loves to bust those diet-culture myths\, helping her clients develop media literacy around the diet and exercise industry. Katie enjoys grocery shopping (of course)\, soaking up sunshine\, practicing yoga\, and trying new restaurants in her free time.

SUMMARY:Nutrition Counseling Course Group Supervision with Annyck Besso
DESCRIPTION:This monthly study group is open to those registered for our Empower Your Practice: Advanced Nutrition Counseling For Dietitians Through a Relational Lens Course. Join us for support and to learn more about working with and counseling individual clients. Remember to register in advance! \nRegister here!  \nAnnyck Besso\, DtP\, RD\, MSc (She/Elle) Bio: \n\n\n\nAnnyck Besso is a registered dietitian who has been working with individuals with eating disorders and disordered eating for the last decade. Annyck is also the founder of Sööma\, a multidisciplinary private practice in Montreal Canada and the United States.  Annyck is originally from Montreal\, Canada\, where she worked at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute on the pediatric eating disorder inpatient unit after finishing her masters. She then had the opportunity to work in private practice in Washington\, DC for three years. Annyck founded Sööma in 2020\, with a vision to provide inclusive\, collaborative and client-centered care to individuals of all ages. Annyck manages a team of registered dietitians and psychologists who specialize in treating athletes\, adolescents\, and adults who experience disordered eating\, under-fueling\, and eating disorders.  Annyck has always valued and believed that understanding an individual’s experience with food and their body\, being curious about their story\, and understanding the emotional and psychological barriers to change were the keys to long-standing recovery\, whatever that looks like for each individual. Throughout her career\, Annyck has received specialty training in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)\, Family Based Treatment (FBT)\, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)\, which are used heavily throughout her nutrition interventions. Annyck’s clientele consists mainly of severe and enduring anorexia cases\, adolescents and their families receiving Family Based Treatment\, and athletes wanting to perform in their sports but being limited due to disordered eating behaviors. Annyck strongly believes in a harm reduction approach\, where a client is free to choose whether recovery feels possible or accessible. By offering a trauma-informed space\, Annyck sees each individual as having the capacity to choose what is best and most accessible to them at any time in their treatment.  Wanting to contribute to training and education on the role of the dietitian in the treatment of eating disorders\, Annyck has invested time in sharing her knowledge and experience with students and other professionals. She feels passionate about accompanying dietitians in using various therapeutic approaches in their nutrition counseling to provide care that is centered around the client’s experience. Annyck became a McGill Affiliate Member in 2020 and feels honored to be able to change the way eating disorder care is taught at McGill University through her guest lecturing. Annyck has also had the opportunity to offer various presentations through EDRD Pro to assist dietitians in feeling confident about delving deeper into their nutrition work with clients. Beyond teaching and training\, Annyck offers supervision to dietitians throughout Canada and the United States where she provides an opportunity for dietitians to reflect on their experience with various cases\, barriers that may show up preventing them from being curious\, and personal and professional development to dietitians at any point in their career.  Beyond any specific nutrition intervention\, Annyck strongly believes in providing client-centered care\, seeing past an individual’s diagnosis\, and understanding how their eating disorder once protected them and how it currently serves them. In her work\, she creatively adapts to circumstances and the client’s experiences to offer a nutrition approach that is individualized\, trauma-informed\, and evidence-based.

SUMMARY:Nutrition Counseling Course Group Supervision with Annyck Besso
DESCRIPTION:This monthly study group is open to those registered for our Empower Your Practice: Advanced Nutrition Counseling For Dietitians Through a Relational Lens Course. Join us for support and to learn more about working with and counseling individual clients. Remember to register in advance! \nRegister here!  \nAnnyck Besso\, DtP\, RD\, MSc (She/Elle) Bio: \n\n\n\nAnnyck Besso is a registered dietitian who has been working with individuals with eating disorders and disordered eating for the last decade. Annyck is also the founder of Sööma\, a multidisciplinary private practice in Montreal Canada and the United States.  Annyck is originally from Montreal\, Canada\, where she worked at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute on the pediatric eating disorder inpatient unit after finishing her masters. She then had the opportunity to work in private practice in Washington\, DC for three years. Annyck founded Sööma in 2020\, with a vision to provide inclusive\, collaborative and client-centered care to individuals of all ages. Annyck manages a team of registered dietitians and psychologists who specialize in treating athletes\, adolescents\, and adults who experience disordered eating\, under-fueling\, and eating disorders.  Annyck has always valued and believed that understanding an individual’s experience with food and their body\, being curious about their story\, and understanding the emotional and psychological barriers to change were the keys to long-standing recovery\, whatever that looks like for each individual. Throughout her career\, Annyck has received specialty training in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)\, Family Based Treatment (FBT)\, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)\, which are used heavily throughout her nutrition interventions. Annyck’s clientele consists mainly of severe and enduring anorexia cases\, adolescents and their families receiving Family Based Treatment\, and athletes wanting to perform in their sports but being limited due to disordered eating behaviors. Annyck strongly believes in a harm reduction approach\, where a client is free to choose whether recovery feels possible or accessible. By offering a trauma-informed space\, Annyck sees each individual as having the capacity to choose what is best and most accessible to them at any time in their treatment.  Wanting to contribute to training and education on the role of the dietitian in the treatment of eating disorders\, Annyck has invested time in sharing her knowledge and experience with students and other professionals. She feels passionate about accompanying dietitians in using various therapeutic approaches in their nutrition counseling to provide care that is centered around the client’s experience. Annyck became a McGill Affiliate Member in 2020 and feels honored to be able to change the way eating disorder care is taught at McGill University through her guest lecturing. Annyck has also had the opportunity to offer various presentations through EDRD Pro to assist dietitians in feeling confident about delving deeper into their nutrition work with clients. Beyond teaching and training\, Annyck offers supervision to dietitians throughout Canada and the United States where she provides an opportunity for dietitians to reflect on their experience with various cases\, barriers that may show up preventing them from being curious\, and personal and professional development to dietitians at any point in their career.  Beyond any specific nutrition intervention\, Annyck strongly believes in providing client-centered care\, seeing past an individual’s diagnosis\, and understanding how their eating disorder once protected them and how it currently serves them. In her work\, she creatively adapts to circumstances and the client’s experiences to offer a nutrition approach that is individualized\, trauma-informed\, and evidence-based.

SUMMARY:Weight Inclusive Diabetes and Eating Disorders October Consult Group
DESCRIPTION:Join your colleagues for a monthly group consultation focused specifically on supporting your clients & patients with diabetes and eating disorders/disordered eating\, facilitated by Erin Phillips\, MPH\, RD\, CDCES\, eating disorder dietitian and diabetes specialist. \nIn this laid-back group format\, we’ll discuss specific questions and topics brought by you specific to diabetes and disordered eating. People with diabetes are up to three times as likely to develop an eating disorder than those without diabetes\, but many clinicians feel that the recommendations for each of these diagnoses contradict each other\, leaving you and your clients & patients feeling stuck. This group is intended to provide guidance to this nuance. \nTo get you started\, here are some examples of what you might bring to the group: \n\nMedications\, side effects\, and how to discuss them with your client/patient\nWhere to start when your ED client/patient is diagnosed with diabetes\nWhat to know about insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors\nCase consultation on co-occurring diabetes and eating disorder\n\nRegistration is required\, and we’ll limit the number of members to 8 in order to keep it participatory. The group will take place monthly and will require registration each month. After registering\, you’ll receive information about where to send questions\, topics\, or your case study. \nRegistration opens here two weeks prior to the event. \n\n\n\n\n\nErin Phillips Bio:\nErin (she/her) is a Registered Dietitian (RD) whose work is grounded in Health at Every Size and fat-positive nutrition. She has an advanced certification as a diabetes specialist (CDCES) and has spent most of her career working with people living with all types of diabetes. \nShe has a private practice that focuses primarily on the intersection of diabetes and eating disorders. She works with people living with diabetes through individual counseling as well as providing consultation to clinicians looking to be more grounded and confident in supporting their clients and patients with co-occurring diagnoses of diabetes and eating disorders. \nWhile she loves geeking out over diabetes technology and blood sugar trends\, Erin also uses therapeutic techniques to guide her clients toward self-compassion and embodiment and finds both of these equally helpful in making peace with food and diabetes. \nErin has been a dietitian since 2008 and received advanced training in eating disorders\, HAES\, and Intuitive Eating. She has an undergraduate degree in food and nutrition science from Seattle Pacific University and a graduate degree in public health nutrition from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. \nOutside of the office\, she loves rock climbing in the pacific northwest\, breakfast\, and showing you pictures of her cat (as often as you’ll let her!).

SUMMARY:Nutrition Counseling Course Group Supervision with Annyck Besso
DESCRIPTION:This monthly study group is open to those registered for our Empower Your Practice: Advanced Nutrition Counseling For Dietitians Through a Relational Lens Course. Join us for support and to learn more about working with and counseling individual clients. Remember to register in advance! \nRegister here!  \nAnnyck Besso\, DtP\, RD\, MSc (She/Elle) Bio: \n\n\n\nAnnyck Besso is a registered dietitian who has been working with individuals with eating disorders and disordered eating for the last decade. Annyck is also the founder of Sööma\, a multidisciplinary private practice in Montreal Canada and the United States.  Annyck is originally from Montreal\, Canada\, where she worked at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute on the pediatric eating disorder inpatient unit after finishing her masters. She then had the opportunity to work in private practice in Washington\, DC for three years. Annyck founded Sööma in 2020\, with a vision to provide inclusive\, collaborative and client-centered care to individuals of all ages. Annyck manages a team of registered dietitians and psychologists who specialize in treating athletes\, adolescents\, and adults who experience disordered eating\, under-fueling\, and eating disorders.  Annyck has always valued and believed that understanding an individual’s experience with food and their body\, being curious about their story\, and understanding the emotional and psychological barriers to change were the keys to long-standing recovery\, whatever that looks like for each individual. Throughout her career\, Annyck has received specialty training in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)\, Family Based Treatment (FBT)\, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)\, which are used heavily throughout her nutrition interventions. Annyck’s clientele consists mainly of severe and enduring anorexia cases\, adolescents and their families receiving Family Based Treatment\, and athletes wanting to perform in their sports but being limited due to disordered eating behaviors. Annyck strongly believes in a harm reduction approach\, where a client is free to choose whether recovery feels possible or accessible. By offering a trauma-informed space\, Annyck sees each individual as having the capacity to choose what is best and most accessible to them at any time in their treatment.  Wanting to contribute to training and education on the role of the dietitian in the treatment of eating disorders\, Annyck has invested time in sharing her knowledge and experience with students and other professionals. She feels passionate about accompanying dietitians in using various therapeutic approaches in their nutrition counseling to provide care that is centered around the client’s experience. Annyck became a McGill Affiliate Member in 2020 and feels honored to be able to change the way eating disorder care is taught at McGill University through her guest lecturing. Annyck has also had the opportunity to offer various presentations through EDRD Pro to assist dietitians in feeling confident about delving deeper into their nutrition work with clients. Beyond teaching and training\, Annyck offers supervision to dietitians throughout Canada and the United States where she provides an opportunity for dietitians to reflect on their experience with various cases\, barriers that may show up preventing them from being curious\, and personal and professional development to dietitians at any point in their career.  Beyond any specific nutrition intervention\, Annyck strongly believes in providing client-centered care\, seeing past an individual’s diagnosis\, and understanding how their eating disorder once protected them and how it currently serves them. In her work\, she creatively adapts to circumstances and the client’s experiences to offer a nutrition approach that is individualized\, trauma-informed\, and evidence-based.

She works with people living with diabetes through individual counseling as well as providing consultation to clinicians looking to be more grounded and confident in supporting their clients and patients with co-occurring diagnoses of diabetes and eating disorders. \nWhile she loves geeking out over diabetes technology and blood sugar trends\, Erin also uses therapeutic techniques to guide her clients toward self-compassion and embodiment and finds both of these equally helpful in making peace with food and diabetes. \nErin has been a dietitian since 2008 and received advanced training in eating disorders\, HAES\, and Intuitive Eating. She has an undergraduate degree in food and nutrition science from Seattle Pacific University and a graduate degree in public health nutrition from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. \nOutside of the office\, she loves rock climbing in the pacific northwest\, breakfast\, and showing you pictures of her cat (as often as you’ll let her!).

SUMMARY:Beyond Assumptions: Complexities at the Intersection of Diabetes and Eating Disorders in Latine Communities
DESCRIPTION:Eating disorders are often overlooked in Latine individuals living with diabetes\, where cultural context and routine medical practices can blur the line between necessary self-management and emerging harm. This session explores how family dynamics\, food traditions\, body ideals\, and structural stressors shape the way disordered eating presents — and how it is understood in care settings. Through case-based discussion\, participants will gain culturally responsive\, weight-inclusive considerations to approach this intersection with greater nuance\, curiosity\, and compassion.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will: \n\nAnalyze how cultural context and diabetes self-management practices can complicate recognition of disordered eating in Latine individuals. \nDifferentiate between medically indicated diabetes care behaviors and patterns that may signal emerging eating disorder behaviors. \nApply culturally responsive\, weight-inclusive considerations to clinical conversations and interdisciplinary collaboration when working with Latine patients navigating diabetes and disordered eating concerns.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel B: Skills and Application\n\n\n\nAt this level\, learners move beyond theory to actively apply knowledge in practical settings. Emphasis is on developing proficiency\, problem-solving\, and hands-on skills that can be implemented in real-world scenarios. Ideal for practitioners looking to strengthen their capabilities.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nDiana Mesa\, RDN\, LDN\, CDCES Bio:\n\nDiana Mesa\, RDN\, LDN\, CDCES\, is a bilingual Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist based in Miami\, Florida. She is the founder of En La Mesa Nutrition\, where she provides culturally responsive\, weight-inclusive care for individuals navigating diabetes\, eating disorders\, and PMOS. Diana specializes in the intersection of metabolic health and disordered eating within Latine communities and is a nationally recognized speaker and educator known for translating complex clinical topics into nuanced\, human-centered conversations.

SUMMARY:Food Mad: The Nutritional Neuroscience of the Starved Brain
DESCRIPTION:Why does food have to come first in eating disorder recovery? This webinar unpacks the diet-disease relationship between malnutrition and the brain\, from grey matter loss to disrupted mood and motivation\, and makes the case that adequate nutrition is the biological precondition for recovery\, not a treatment goal. You will learn why a nutritionally compromised brain cannot drive its own recovery\, why external support is neurologically necessary\, and how to build aligned treatment teams whose shared understanding makes that support consistent and effective.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the neurobiological mechanisms by which malnutrition impairs cognitive flexibility\, emotional regulation\, and behavioural change capacity in eating disorder presentations.\nDescribe the energy requirements and timeline for brain recovery during nutritional rehabilitation\, and apply this to inform clinical meal plan targets and treatment expectations.\nArticulate why a nutritionally compromised brain cannot drive its own recovery\, and use this framework to justify external mealtime support as a neurologically necessary\, not optional\, clinical intervention.\nUse neuroscience-informed language to communicate the brain-nutrition relationship clearly to clients\, families\, and multidisciplinary treatment teams\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel B: Skills and Application\n\n\nAt this level\, learners move beyond theory to actively apply knowledge in practical settings. Emphasis is on developing proficiency\, problem-solving\, and hands-on skills that can be implemented in real-world scenarios. Ideal for practitioners looking to strengthen their capabilities.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nVictoria Schonwald NZRD Bio:\n\nVictoria Schonwald is a New Zealand-registered dietitian specialising in nutritional neuroscience and the nutritional rehabilitation of the compromised brain. Based in Christchurch and working through The Eat Clinic\, Victoria has spent seven years in a specialist eating disorder private practice\, working with individuals\, families\, and caregivers across the full spectrum of eating disorder presentations. \nVictoria’s clinical framework is built on a central argument: that adequate nutrition is the biological precondition for psychological recovery\, not an adjunct to it. Her work translates emerging neuroscience\, including brain volume changes\, neurotransmitter disruption\, hormonal consequences\, and cognitive impairment under malnutrition\, into accessible\, non-pathologising language for clinicians\, carers\, and people in recovery. She is the author of Food Mad: The Nutritional Neuroscience of the Starved Brain\, a resource that has been well received by clinicians and families internationally. Victoria is currently developing a practical companion to Food Mad\, focused on what recovery eating looks like in practice\, alongside clinical tools for assessing neurological readiness for recovery progression. \nVictoria is a supporter and voluntary speaker for the NZ Eating Disorders Charitable Society (NZEDCS)\, the primary eating disorder parent support organisation in New Zealand\, where she provides education and support to families navigating eating disorder recovery.
