Your first IAEDP Global Symposium 💙 and officially wearing that First Time Attendee ribbon in Baltimore!

There’s something so humbling about walking into a room filled with clinicians, researchers, and providers who are deeply committed to eating disorder treatment. As a Registered Dietitian and founder of Namaste Nourished, I’m here to listen, learn, challenge my thinking, and continue growing in how I show up for my clients.

This field asks us to:
✨ Stay curious
✨ Stay collaborative
✨ Stay evidence-based
✨ And always center compassion

I’m especially grateful to expand my clinical lens, deepen interdisciplinary connections, and bring back practical, weight-inclusive, recovery-oriented tools to my practice in Sandy Springs.

Honored to be here. Excited to grow. Committed to better care. 🤍

Gorgeous homemade double chocolate chip cookies for my birthday 💕🍪

Baking these was such a sweet reminder that food is about more than nutrients — it’s about joy, connection, memories, and yes… chocolate.

I love working with patients during exposure work and watching them lean into flexibility, curiosity, and trust with food. Every exposure is a step toward food freedom, and it’s an honor to hold space for those moments.

And personally? I fully enjoyed mine too — because celebration foods have a place in a balanced, nourished life ✨

Here’s to progress over perfection, and to savoring the sweet moments. 💗

🎬🍿 Nothing beats a cozy night at our favorite theatre — 💫

From the heated, reclining seats (yes, actual blankets are welcome 👀🙌) to the amazing menu + drinks, this spot always makes movie night feel next-level. Tonight’s pick: a crisp + refreshing with a chicken quesadilla + classic movie popcorn… because why not make the big screen feel like home but better? ✨

Whether it’s craft cocktails, local brews, or classic concessions — The Springs has it all. Add in their indie flicks, blockbusters, and events, and it’s easy to see why we keep coming back.

🖤 Recline. Relax. Enjoy the show.

🌸✨ What a magical night at !

We gathered with + Laureate Eating Disorders Program (Tulsa, OK) for a networking + flower arranging workshop right here in Dunwoody 🌿💐

💜 A truly unique experience where we got to:
🌷 Build our own “dark & moody” bouquets (JJ’s style!)
🫶 Connect with colleagues + community
📖 Learn about Laureate’s incredible program

A few highlights from their care model that stood out to us:
💡 Clients stay with the same therapist, dietitian & psychiatrist across levels of care — true continuity + trust.
🍽️ Staff share meals with clients to support food normalization + recovery.
👩‍👧 Separate programming for adolescent girls + adult women, meeting each where they are.

Beauty, advocacy, and connection — all in one night. 🌿✨

Big thanks to for hosting us and to Laureate for sharing their mission with such passion. 💜

Here’s to more events where flowers + healing go hand in hand 🌸

Still smiling after such a beautiful morning with 🌿✨ + : The Emily Program at
Lost Mountain Alpaca Ranch 🦙💛

We got to meet all the sweet lady alpacas (seriously, how cute are they?!) and connect with the incredible owners of this special place. Their warmth made the day even more memorable. 💕

A big thank you to .lpc.ryt — Amanda Marks, LPC, LMHC — for leading us through a grounding restorative yoga session 🧘‍♀️. The perfect balance of connection, movement, and mindfulness on this gorgeous fall day 🍂☀️.

Community, conversation, and alpacas… what more could you ask for? 💫

What an incredible day with and our sponsor The Meadows 💙✨

We kicked things off with a networking brunch 🥐☕ — filled with conversation, connection, and community. Nothing like gathering with fellow professionals who share the same passion for helping others heal. 🤝💬

Then came our CEU presentation 🎓📚: Healing the Hungry Heart — Uncovering Trauma’s Relationship to Eating Disorders and Chronic Pain. Such a powerful, thought-provoking session that left us all with tools and deeper insight to carry back into our work. 💡💪

We had the privilege of learning from the amazing Jenni Schaefer ✨ — bestselling author of Life Without Ed, Goodbye Ed, Hello Me, and Almost Anorexic. She even signed my copy of Life Without Ed with the sweetest message — such a full-circle moment! 🖊️📖💙

We also heard from powerhouse clinicians:
🌟 Dr. Tara Arnold, PhD, LCSW, CEDS-C, RYT-200 — Founder & Clinical Director of Deepen Wellness & Psychotherapy, IAEDP Mentorship Chair, speaker, supervisor, and expert in DBT, trauma, and eating disorders. 🧠💬

🌟 Pamela Madsen, MS, LPC, ACS, RYT-200 — Founder & Clinical Director of Sea Change Psychotherapy, President of IAEDP Atlanta, clinical supervisor and consultant specializing in relational trauma, eating disorders, OCD, SUD, and more. 🌊🐚

Events like these remind us of the power of community 💞, connection 🌍, and continued learning 📖 in the eating disorder field. I’m so excited for all of our future gatherings and the growth still to come! ✨🙌

✨Friendly reminder✨
You are more than your body, your weight, or how you look. 💜

Eating disorder recovery isn’t about becoming “pretty enough” or “small enough.” It’s about reclaiming your life, your joy, and your ability to connect with others without shame or fear.

You are already enough—right here, right now. 🌿💡

This is a late post, but cheers to fun Eating disorder networking events 💜 oh, the people you meet and the conversations you have!

Had the most fantastic time at Culinary Dropout with Kelly Kelly from Koru Springs Treatment Center. The food, the drinks, and—most importantly—the connection—made this such a meaningful evening. 🌮🍹

I can’t wait until we get to do this again soon!
