What exactly is recovery coaching? And how can it help you to achieve your recovery goals?

Eating disorder recovery coaching is an adjunct to clinical treatment for eating disorders. Meaning that as coaches, we are not clinicians, BUT we help your clinicians (dietitian, therapist etc.) to help you.

Recovery coaches help facilitate growth and behaviour change related to recovery and play an important role in helping to build a skill base for daily living that is necessary for a full and lasting recovery. We understand that recovery means a lot more than simply stopping behaviours or improving observable markers of progress, we know this because we’ve been there ourselves.
