Welcome to our support group! —a safe, inclusive space dedicated to individuals and families affected by eating disorders and disordered eating. I’m a certified nutritionist, recovered from my own battles with eating disorders and mental health challenges, and a certified peer counselor. I understand firsthand the complexities of recovery and the value of compassionate guidance. Our group provides evidence-based nutritional insights, empathetic counseling, and a community of support where every voice is heard. Together, we focus on healing, resilience, and empowering each other to embrace healthier, more balanced lives. Join us as we share, learn, and grow together on the journey to recovery.
