Testimonials
“I was thinking about you last night as I watched S eat a salad with a whole avocado, as well as tempura cauliflower (and other food, too)! She's doing so well. I can't thank you enough for your support!”
- Mom of S
“Thank you so much for your help. E trusts you and takes your words and advice to heart. It has been such a relief to see her eat better and feel good about it. She would not be here without you!”
- Mom of E, a middle school nordic skier
“You have been such an amazing person for B to work with! She has made such great strides and I do think her perspective has changed. She didn't fit into a size small when we went shopping last week, and she was OK with it! She says she feels so much stronger! She knows now that strong is better. She bakes cookies and eats them again!!”
