Eating Disorder Recovery Support for Mothers

Heal your relationship with food and body image while creating a peaceful, intuitive food environment for your children.

If motherhood has brought your own food or body struggles to the surface, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate this alone.

You don’t have to be fully healed to help your children thrive.

But you do deserve support while healing.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.

Many mothers navigating eating disorder recovery quietly carry questions like these:

• Why does feeding my children sometimes trigger my own fears about food?

• How do I raise intuitive eaters when I’m still healing my relationship with food and my body?

• Why do comments about my child’s appetite or body affect me so deeply?

• Am I already passing my struggles with food or body image onto my children?

If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, you’re not failing.

You’re navigating the deeply complex intersection of motherhood and eating disorder recovery.

And you deserve support that understands both.

🌿Hi, I’m Crystal.

I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and lactation consultant specializing in maternal health, eating disorder recovery, body image healing, and intuitive eating.

I’m also a mother — which means I understand firsthand how deeply motherhood can bring our own food and body struggles to the surface.

For more than a decade, I’ve supported mothers navigating eating disorder recovery in motherhood while raising children — helping them rebuild trust with food and their bodies and create a more peaceful food environment at home.

My work helps mothers:

• rebuild trust with their bodies

• move away from diet culture and food guilt

• navigate eating disorder recovery in motherhood

• create a peaceful, intuitive food environment at home

• raise children who feel safe and confident around food

Because mothers deserve support while healing — not only after they’ve “figured it all out.”
