If you’ve supported individuals with their wellbeing, you have most likely encountered clients experiencing eating disorders or disordered eating. You may have witnessed how profoundly people’s lives are impacted by these circumstances. 

You want to do anything to help your clients affected by an eating disorder or disordered eating.

However, It can be difficult to create a brave space where clients can share openly, feel heard, and courageously move towards recovery from an eating disorder. This is especially challenging if you as a Dietitian or provider feel ill equipped to support your client.

  • Feel competent that you have approaches to tricky situations that are therapeutic and align with your values

  • Feel supportive and compassionate while offering direction and help

  • Feel like you have the words to say

  • Feel less scared of causing harm

Our courses are like a warm hug for your professional soul, designed by dietitians who are just as passionate and caring as you are.
