What professionals say about Eating Disorders Boot Camp & The Eating Disorders Pocket Guide
"I had patients this afternoon after Boot Camp and I found your voice and words popping into my head. Used stuff I learned this weekend immediately and it was a great, refreshing feeling! Haven't felt that way in awhile." - Hien Nguyen-Le, RD"Your energy and knowledge were phenomenal and I learned so much so fast. Luckily I had been doing lots of the "right" things with my ED clients...but you boosted my confidence ina big way and made me actually want to go out and find more ED clients to put the Boot Camp to work!" - Jen Coon, RD
"Finally a workshop that feels like it gave me just what I was missing. I really feel guided now in my work." - Boot Camp attendee
"Great insight even for those dietitians not working in the area of eating disorders, because eating is so psychologically oriented." - Boot Camp attendee
"Your workshops felt so freeing for me. I had a follow-up patient today with diabetes. I gave her a boatload of handouts several weeks ago but she still didn't know what to do. Then I realized how I could help her. We legalized some foods and her meal plan was simply a schedule of when to eat. She felt better, and it seems like she will be able to work on eating at regular times." - Christian Calaguas, MPH, RD
"The Boot Camp manual has been my constant companion - literally - since you presented. I've gotten so many great ideas from it." - Rhonda O'Brien

"This will help me every single day!!!" - Boot Camp attendee
