Eating Disorder Recovery Coaching & Body Image Work
What is a recovery coach and body image coach & what is it not?
Recovery coaching was created to fill the gap in care for individuals struggling with disordered eating, eating disorders, poor body image or dieting.
Recovery coaching is not one-size-fits-all. Every person has a unique story that requires a tailored approach to care. Recovery coaching helps you put your needs first and provides support for you as you navigate your recovery journey!
Recovery coaches are not just for individuals struggling with eating disorders. For individuals who are struggling with disordered eating, dieting, or poor body image, recovery coaching can help you ditch diet culture and find intuitive movement and intuitive eating.
For individuals with eating disorders who are stepping down from a higher level of care, an eating disorder recovery coach can help ease the transition while supporting you as you continue your recovery and learn how to cope in everyday life.
Recovery coaching is NOT a replacement for treatment or therapy but can be used as another tool throughout your recovery journey. Eating disorder recovery coaches can help you put a team together of helping professionals or join an existing team to help you work towards full recovery.
Recovery coaching is not crisis support. Coaches can help you process triggers, disordered thoughts and behaviours however, we are not qualified to provide support for individuals struggling with suicidal ideation. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, your recovery coach will help you find the appropriate resources to provide you with the support that you need.
