Education is a tool of transformation.

Our team has a combined 20+ years of experience working in the field of eating disorder prevention and support, and we’re available to help educate you, and your team or organization, with our courses, workshops, trainings and more.

Our reputation as speakers is built on our ability to actively and warmly engage audiences in topics that are often difficult to talk about. We bring a unique multi-disciplinary, and trauma-informed approach to understanding eating disorders and the factors that contribute to them, and aim to leave listeners feeling both empowered and equipped to be part of changing the culture with us.

We deeply believe that if we want to build a world where people are free from eating disorders, then we need to unlearn all of the ways in which our culture perpetuates mental health stigma, diet culture and body shame.

By educating ourselves and our communities we can:

  • Better understand the risks and effects of eating disorders and diet culture

  • Identify how our (or our loved one’s) pain and past might be influencing the behaviors and thought patterns keeping us stuck in the eating disorder

  • Spread awareness about the signs, symptoms and causes of eating disorders

  • Resource ourselves and our communities with tools for nutritional, physical and mental rehabilitation

  • Build stronger systems of community care

  • Develop more sustainable and harm-reducing self care strategies

  • Decrease the shame and stigma associated with seeking recovery support

  • Increase access to life-saving care (clinical and community-based)

  • Deconstruct socio-cultural norms around food, bodies, weight, exercise, health, and beauty that perpetuate eating disorders in the first place


Programs we offer:

Path to Repair, a self paced course that will equip you to combat body shame and diet culture, give you the confidence to activate change from within, and build a more inclusive world for us all.

This course is for anyone:

  • Feeling consumed by thoughts about eating or not eating food, body image, and general shame about not being good enough

  • Stuck in all or nothing thinking, “if I already had the cookie I might as well eat whatever I want and start over tomorrow"

  • Feeling burnt out by dieting and looking for something different, but not sure where or how to start

  • Needing guidance and structure for how to ditch old food and negative body patterns, so they can heal from diet culture, body shame and food obsession

  • Finding themselves stressed in the morning and can't get out of the house on time because of appearance anxiety– having a bad hair day, feeling like nothing looks good on their body, makeup/skincare routine takes a long time

  • Struggling to limit exercise– not able to rest, having persistent thoughts of "I should be working out more," or "I need to earn my food"

  • Obsessing over numbers with regards to food, weight and exercise

  • Promising themselves they’ll "be good" at the birthday party but find themselves obsessing over the dessert table instead of enjoying the event

  • Avoiding activities they enjoy because of fears about how they look; e.g. dance class, the beach, swimming, sports, or being in photos

  • Ready to stop spending precious time and money on unhelpful and unnecessary solutions or quick fixes
