Affordable Eating Disorder Courses Online
These on-demand eating disorder courses contain the education and tools I use most in my 1-1 sessions with clients and parents of children struggling with an eating disorder.
When the COVID 19 pandemic hit I found my practice full, and my colleagues/referral base full as well. Simultaneously I became more passionate about the lack of accessibility in eating disorder treatment– it’s expensive and hard to get in with good providers. I want to provide accessible eating disorder services that allow parents and eating disorder clients to get help for less money and sooner.
