Bringing together 15+ years of lived experience with a health communications background, I offer speaking, writing and consulting services on eating disorder recovery and mental health.
Speaking
Speaking from a lived experience perspective, I deliver engaging presentations to a wide variety of audiences, ranging from postsecondary students and educators, to clinicians and folks in recovery.
Topics include:
- Discussing my road to recovery; addressing transitions from youth to adult eating disorder services; exploring how the pandemic and social media have impacted eating disorders
Writing
My communications background means I know the importance of clear messaging — especially around sensitive subjects like eating disorders and mental illness.
Topics include:
- Writing personal essays or opinion pieces on eating disorder recovery; contributing guest posts to mental health blogs and websites; editing and proofreading mental illness content
Consulting
I welcome opportunities to work with organizations that are looking to boost their employees’ mental health literacy with a more eating disorder-informed approach.
Topics include:
- Using inclusive language for educators and clinicians; developing anti-bias guidelines for newsrooms; building a more body neutral environment in the workplace
