1:1 Trauma-Informed Recovery Coaching

You may be deeply unsatisfied with where you are and know something needs to change. You may desire a more unrestricted life—one with more freedom and flexibility—and yet still find yourself pulled back into familiar eating disorder patterns each day. This doesn’t mean you aren’t capable of recovering; it means there is something there worth understanding and learning how to work with.

Why Does Recovery Feel So Hard?

Recovery can feel so hard because knowing what to do and doing it in real life are two different things. Eating disorders are not just behaviors to stop or thoughts to challenge; over time, they become deeply reinforced patterns that feel protective and necessary to parts of our brain, like a familiar road traveled again and again. Venturing onto a new road can feel deeply unsafe, even when you may intellectually understand that it will lead toward greater well-being.

This all can feel even harder when someone is undernourished because undernourishment impacts every system in the body and the brain. When the body does not have enough energy and resources, change can feel threatening, overwhelming, and impossible. Even when some parts of you may want something to change, it makes sense that other parts may feel scared, hesitant, and cling to what’s familiar.

This is why I offer individualized, trauma-informed eating disorder recovery coaching to help you work with your brain, body, and lived experience instead of against them. I’m here to help you shift from knowing what recovery asks of you to integrating it into your everyday life.

My Approach

I integrate neuroscience, a biological understanding of eating disorders, and compassionate, practical support to help you shift into new experiences that support lasting change. I believe you are the expert of your experience and approach every session with genuine curiosity and a willingness to listen.

Recovery is not just about trying harder. Many people trying to recover spend so much energy fighting themselves, criticizing themselves, or forcing change only to feel stuck. Recovery isn’t just about doing things differently; it’s about changing how we relate to ourselves as we work towards our goals.

I believe in working with your brain, nervous system, and lived experience instead of against them. That means we get curious about the patterns, fears, and urges that show up without treating them as bad or wrong. We make room for the parts of you that feel scared, hesitant, and unsure while also supporting your desire for something different.

Coaching is collaborative, practical, and goal-oriented. We focus on what is happening now, what support you need, and what next step feels possible at a pace that is right for you as the unique person you are. Taking a trauma-informed approach is not about digging into the past. It is about creating a foundation of mutual respect, choice, and collaboration that supports healing and reduces harm.

More About Me

What We Practice Together

Coaching with me offers support in the space between wanting things to change and actually taking the next step. Together, we slow down what is happening, get curious about what is getting in the way, and identify doable steps that move you toward meaningful change.

We explore what is happening with curiosity. Eating disorder patterns make sense, and we can understand their protective function without letting them continue to make every decision.

Curiosity

Together, we support a sense of safety, build your capacity for change, and move toward unrestricted and unconditional nourishment in daily life. How, what, and why we make decisions with food matters and restriction can be insidious. We approach your relationship with food in a non-diet, weight-inclusive way.

Safety, Capacity, & Nourishment

We practice recovery in everyday life. Together, we identify goals and doable next steps in the everyday moments where recovery happens: meals, snacks, grocery shopping, rest, daily routines, body image distress, and relationships.

Supported Action

Ways We Can Work Together

  • 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

Pricing

I know support is a meaningful financial commitment. I aim to price my services in a way that is sustainable for this work while also offering a set number of reduced-cost spots to increase access to coaching!

  • Recovery Support Package: $145/week
    Includes one 50-minute coaching session per week plus between-session messaging support Monday–Saturday. The time may be split into two 25-minute sessions.

    This option may be right for you if you are looking for consistent, steady support practicing recovery between sessions.

    • $105 per 50-minute session

    • $55 per 25-minute session

Or maybe you simply need someone to share a meal or snack with to help you stay accountable.

    Sessions can be extended to 75-minutes or 90-minutes when scheduled in advance.

    Session-only support may be appropriate for:

    • Clients looking for meal support only
