Individual Coaching by Phone
Individual coaching by telephone is the most accessible, immediate and personal way of getting the support and information you need. Simply call me at 415-924-2100 and we can talk briefly about your needs and circumstances. We will set up a time for a more extensive conversation to explore your particular concerns and the kind of support you need to help heal your daughter and move forward with your own life.
Groups for Mothers of Daughters with Eating Disorders
In these weekly or bi-monthly gatherings, a small number of mothers meet in person to voice their concerns and get feedback, guidance and support. I provide both information and situation-specific guidance, and support is available from me as well as from the mothers present who have addressed similar concerns. Currently these groups are offered in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you would like me to do a weekend workshop in your area, give me a call.
Telephone Support Groups
I also offer telephone support forums for Mothers of Daughters with Eating Disorders. Telephone groups can be helpful for mothers who want the opportunity to connect with other mothers who are in a situation similar to their own. These groups are offered periodically, with the next group scheduled to begin in Winter 2007 - 2008. See above for information about the next group.
Holiday Teleworkshop
CREATING HAPPIER HOLIDAYS: Preparing you and your daughter to handle food and other holiday-related stress.
An interactive two hour workshop during which you can ask questions and get support and suggestions for handling holiday situations that can be troubling for you and your eating disordered daughter.
This phone-based support group is offered each December.
