A Sneak Peek Inside the Course...
Meet Your Instructor
Hi! I'm Delaney Smith, Certified Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Coach. Through my own personal experience with an ED, my own recovery journey, and my work as a recovery coach, I've noticed a major gap in the education surrounding how to support someone with an eating disorder.
The unfortunate reality is that almost all of us know someone directly impacted by an eating disorder, yet almost none of us have the proper tools, knowledge, or skills to be a helpful support person.
This course is here to help you understand how to best support those struggling AND learn how to care for yourself through this time. Eating disorders are complicated, complex, and confusing - for all involved.
You don't have to do this alone. In this course, we go through, step-by-step, my top tips and tricks that I've learned along the way through both my professional and personal experience with eating disorders.
I know how overwhelming, daunting, and emotional this all can be. Take a breath and know that we'll take this on together. Can't wait to see you in the course!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Who is this course best for?
Anyone that knows someone struggling with an eating disorder will benefit from this course. (This means all of us!) I wanted this course to be jam-packed with information, knowledge, and tips for you to be able to support ANYONE battling an ED.
This may be especially helpful to you if you are particularly close with someone with an ED (ie. parents, siblings, friends, significant others) or are in an environment where EDs are often present (sports coaching, gyms, fitness studios, middle/high schools).
How Long Do I Have to Complete the Course?
How does lifetime access sound to you?
