ARFID LIVED EXPERIENCE PANEL
Here are our AMAZING ARFID Lived experience panellists for our ARFID and Neuroaffirming Care Practitioner Course.
Lumen Gorrie (they/them) is a q***r, trans, multiply neurodivergent (AuDHD+), chronically ill, disabled person, living and working on unceded Wurundjeri Land. Lumen works as a clinical psychologist, educator, and advocate and is founder of the Appetite for Change Project. They are particularly passionate about supporting neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, chronically ill, disabled, and otherwise marginalised folk, and those with eating disorders, differences, and difficulties, from an intersectional, affirming, anti-oppressive framework.
As a multiply neurodivergent, chronically ill, disabled person, Lumen has had – and will always have – eating differences and difficulties. They also have lived experience of ARFID; for them, this is episodic in nature, emerging in times of significant stress, burnout, and loss of capacity.
Brianna is a clinical psychologist, PhD Candidate, Director of The Psych Hive and AuDHDer. Her special interests include craft and making earrings, researching Autism and her two Bordoodle Puppies. She has also had her own colourful journey with food through her life, and is excited to share about her professional and lived experience with others.
Gabby Lubieniecki (she/her) is a lived experience eating disorder clinician and researcher whose work is grounded in neuro-affirming and trauma-informed principles. She experienced undiagnosed ARFID in childhood, which later contributed to the development of other eating difficulties, and a late autism diagnosis that offered her a new lens to understand her journey.
