Individualized eating disorder recovery coaching for wherever you are in your process.
Helping you move towards a more unrestricted life by working with yourself instead of against yourself.
Hi, I’m Kate!
I’m so glad you are here! I offer individualized, trauma-informed eating disorder recovery coaching rooted in acceptance, compassion, neurobiology, and respect for your lived experience. My approach is grounded in a weight-inclusive, anti-diet, and Health at Every Size® perspective.
I believe full recovery from an eating disorder is possible when we harness our innate capacity for change. I also understand recovery is complex and that eating disorders develop for reasons that make sense. Eating disorders are not a personal failure or a choice: they are learned adaptations shaped by biology, lived experience, trauma, oppression, culture, and our attempts to survive.
Many people trying to recover get stuck in a cycle of trying harder, criticizing themselves, or forcing change only to feel exhausted and wondering why recovery still feels so out of reach. Instead of relying on shame, force, or fighting yourself, coaching with me offers practical and goal-oriented support to help you to work with yourself rather than against yourself and take lasting steps towards recovery.
I partner with you—wherever you are in your process—and together we get curious and help you take supported action. Working with me is a space away from diet, wellness, and hustle culture—away from the messages that promote self-denial, say we are never enough, and tell us we just need to work harder. I’ll meet you where you are while always holding hope for all that is possible.
I have a Master’s in Social Work and am a CCI Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach.
Ways We Can Work Together
Recovery happens in everyday life, not just in a session. Coaching helps bridge the gap between recovery and real life to help you create a sense of safety, increase your capacity for change, and work towards unrestricted and unconditional nourishment practically in your everyday life. Sometimes you need consistent support throughout the week. Other times, a weekly focused space for reflection, problem-solving, accountability, or a supported meal feels like the right fit.
Together, we determine what level of support best fits your current needs.
-
1:1 coaching sessions provide a space to better understand what is keeping you stuck, build momentum, and move toward meaningful change in recovery. Together, we explore what’s challenging, build resources, navigate barriers with compassion, and identify realistic next steps that align with your goals and values.
Available weekly or biweekly as sessions only or combined with messaging support
-
Recovery doesn’t only happen in sessions and difficult moments don’t happen on a schedule!
Messaging support provides a space to pause and slow down to help you notice patterns and shift out of automatic ways of being. Messaging with me provides encouragement, accountability, collaborative problem-solving, and real-time support when recovery feels especially hard.
-
Sometimes recovery is not about knowing what to do—it is about having support while doing something that feels scary and hard or that a part of us wants to avoid. Research shows that we feel more capable and less pain when we sense we are accompanied by another.
Supported eating sessions with me offer compassionate, real-time support to help bridge the gap between intention and action. Together we create new experiences that help the your system build greater safety, flexibility, and self-trust over time
My Approach
When we work together, it’s not a rigid program or someone who claims to have all the answers. Instead you’ll get a collaborative partnership rooted in respect for all parts of you. My approach to eating disorder recovery coaching is grounded in the belief that full recovery is possible and that eating disorders make sense. I do not see recovery as a process of shaming, forcing, or fighting yourself into change. Instead, I help clients work with different parts of themselves, their brain, and nervous system to build new experiences in everyday life of flexibility, agency, and unrestricted living.
Our work is collaborative and practical and centers your autonomy and choice. Together, we focus on the real-life moments where recovery happens and setting goals. My approach is grounded in a weight-inclusive, anti-diet, and Health at Every Size® perspective.
-
My work is trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and individualized to your needs. There is no one-size-fits-all method for recovery. We adapt our work together as you as a unique person.
Our work together centers around safety, consent, transparency, and respect for your autonomy. We collaborate and move at a pace that honors where you are while still supporting meaningful steps toward change. -
I believe full recovery from an eating disorder is possible when we harness our innate capacity for change. Recovery is not a straightforward process, and it’s normal to feel ambivalent and confused. No one ever feels fully ready to recover!
I believe lasting freedom from an eating disorder happens not through shame, force, or fighting yourself, but through support that works with your brain, nervous system, and lived experiences. -
Eating disorders are not a personal failure or choice. I validate the ways an eating disorder makes sense and has been a survival strategy—an attempt at a solution by a part of us to deal with our lived experience, painful learnings, chronic dysregulation, trauma, oppression, and failures in the environment.
Recovery asks us to honor our eating disorder’s attempts to help us survive while also acknowledging the harm it has caused in our life. I believe we must compassionately hold space for both of these truths without judgement.
We’ll approach your ED with curiosity, not shame. -
Eating disorders are partly biological. When the brain and body are undernourished and stuck in survival mode, eating disorder thoughts, body image difficulties, compulsions, urges, rigidity, and anxiety all intensify.
Adequate and consistent nourishment is foundational to recovery, and I support nutritional rehabilitation in a way that is respectful of each person’s lived experience.
We live in a culture where under-eating has become normalized. Working with me is a space where you have unconditional permission to eat unrestricted. I support you in moving away from diet, wellness, and hustle culture and challenge larger shame-based cultural belief systems. -
Eating disorders are not simply thoughts or behaviors; they are deeply learned patterns rooted in the brain and nervous system’s attempts to create a perceived sense of safety and survival. This is one reason recovery is rarely about trying harder and lasting change does not happen through shame, force, or criticizing yourself.
Instead, recovery happens through creating new experiences that help the brain update its learned predictions and begin to experience greater well-being.
-
Recovery doesn’t only happen in sessions; it happens in real life—in the small decisions that happen throughout the day.
Coaching offers practical, present-focused support to help you integrate recovery into your real life. I’m here to support you as you bump up against your eating disorder, diet culture, cultural messages that promote self-denial and control, and other recovery-related challenges.
