Eating Disorder Recovery Program:
After achieving recovery I dedicated myself to assisting others suffering from eating disorders to find their own paths to recovery.
I specialize in Anorexia, but also work with bulimia, binge eating, eating disorders not otherwise specified and emotional eating.
This is a personal mentorship program for sufferers that have regained weight either via inpatient visit or otherwise and want to proactively avoid relapse. My understanding of eating disorders is both personal and professional and I combine these things to create a specialized program for every client. I work with the sufferer to garner understanding about triggering thoughts and situations and use cognitive behavioral therapy to overcome unwanted behaviors.
I believe that until the neurobiology behind specific eating disorders is better understood that causality is guesswork so should not be a fundamental part of treatment until research indicates a more through understanding. I believe that anorexia is disorder with a neurological basis and is a not a choice, for this reason there is no time when a sufferer is “ready” for treatment as such. The time is now.
I work to tailor treatment to the individual, this will involve looking at where you are now in terms of understanding your disorder, your desire to get better and your current physical condition. From there I will work out a treatment path for you which may or may not involve other professionals. I will also build you a nutrition and re-feeding plan that is agile, changes as your mind and body respond to treatment and suits you, where you are at, and where you want to be. Likewise with the yoga and mediation schedule. I will also work with families to get in a supportive family environment.

An Eating Disorder sufferer (willing participant) session consists of:
- Initial Skype/ in person session (45 mins)
- Follow up written review and nutrition plan. (This may involve referrals to other healthcare providers for a complete healing team approach)
- Daily follow up Skype/ in person sessions (20- 40 mins)
Cost: $150 per week
All programs will operate on a sliding scale, do not all your finances to determine whether you get help or not, I can work with any budget, your wellness is my main concern.
This program is perfect for sufferers that have come out of inpatient care and want some extra mentorship or for undiagnosed sufferers that are trying to overcome their eating disorder alone.
An Eating Disorder Parent session mimics the sufferer session but is effective for families that are caring for a sufferer. As the parent of a child with an eating disorder your support and understanding can be crucial for recovery. I am an advocate for Family involved approaches and can work with parents wanting to implement these. As a recovered sufferer I can help you interpret and understand your child’s behavior better. I believe that re- nourishment is a critical factor in recovery and can work with parents on how to achieve this. As a parent you are not responsible for your child’s eating disorder and you did not cause it. But you can help in the healing process.
This service can be done in person or over Skype.

Private Yoga Instruction:
I enjoys nothing more than to help people solve problems, to ask the right questions and to guide. Being 
in a human body is an experience and we continue learning about ourselves until the day that we stop.
My practice is alignment and anatomy based, I can work with you and your body to develop a lifelong practice that will keep you safe in and out of the yoga studio.
I have experience with may types of injuries and yoga can be a wonderful strengthening tool for joints, the back and weak muscles. I have worked with beginners from the first tadasana to arm balances. Establishing a personal practice that you can take with you wherever you may be traveling is one of the keys to a lifelong relationship with yoga.
