eating in a gentle and compassionate space
It’s really normal for eating to feel overwhelming, isolating, or challenging when choosing to heal your relationship to food.
Whether you’re working through food fear, eating challenges, executive functioning and capacity or just tired of doing it all alone—this space is for you.
GENTLE MEAL SUPPORT ONLINE GROUP
Our Online Meal Support Group offers gentle, structured support in a warm and non-judgmental environment, so you can feel more grounded and less isolated.
Led by an experienced, trauma-informed dietitian, these sessions are designed to meet you exactly where you are.
What to Expect
Each 45-minute group includes:
A grounding check-in to settle before the meal
Space to eat together—whatever “eating” looks like for you
Gentle prompts and co-regulation support
Optional post-meal reflection or quiet time
No pressure, no expectations, just presence, care and light hearted banter
You’re welcome to have your camera and microphone on or off. Just showing up is enough.
Is this for me?
Meal support may be helpful if:
You’re in recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating
Meals feel hard, lonely, or emotionally loaded
You want accountability, connection, or a gentle structure
You’d like support to eat more regularly or challenge food fears
You’re looking for a space where all foods, bodies, and emotions are welcome
You do not need a diagnosis to attend.
This group may not be suitable if:
You’re currently in medical crisis or need inpatient treatment
You’re seeking higher intensity or more individual meal support (which I can offer you too, please see below)
You experience significant distress that would be better supported in individual meal support
Not sure if it’s a fit? I’m happy to talk it through with you first—just reach out.

INDIVIDUAL MEAL SUPPORT
Whether you’re navigating recovery from an eating disorder, living with a long standing eating disorder or feeling stuck in food rules and overwhelm—individual meal support can offer quiet, non-judgmental company during what can feel like the hardest part of the day.
This is a place to slow down, breathe, and eat in the presence of someone who understands and will not push, shame, or prescribe.
What does individual meal support look like?
Each session is:
Flexible: online or in-person
Grounded: we may begin with a short check-in or grounding practice
Supportive: eat at your own pace, with gentle prompts if helpful
Reflection: you’re offered the opportunity to talk, ground or debrief.
There’s no pressure to eat a certain amount, no focus on weight, and no “right” way to do this. I aim to offer whatever it is you need in the moment.
Before our session, we will make sure we are both on the same page about what your goals are.
Individual MEAL support may help if…
You’ve recently discharged from in patient or outpatient setting
You’re struggling to eat regularly or consistently
Meals feel distressing or emotionally overwhelming
You’d like to challenge food rules with someone beside you
You feel safer with a calm, grounding presence nearby
You’re not keen on group settings, but know you need support
Session Options

In-Person (various areas, to be discussed)
Duration: 30 or 60 minutes
Frequency: weekly, fortnightly, or flexible
Available to clients across Australia for online support
If individual meal support sounds like something you’d like to try—but you’re unsure how it works—feel free to reach out. I’m happy to talk through what might feel most helpful right now.
