For Dietitian and Mental Health Practitioners

Helen offers both group and individual supervision tailored to your experience level, whether you're new to the field of eating disorders or a seasoned professional.

DIETITIAN SERVICES

Nutritional Adequacy

To ensure adequate nutrition, it’s important to provide tailored meal plans and work on ‘challenge’ foods in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Monitoring physical signs of poor nutrition and offering safe exercise guidelines are essential. Additionally, equipping individuals with strategies to manage eating disorder behaviors and fostering a positive relationship with food can support their recovery journey.

Body Image

Young people's perceptions of their bodies can greatly impact their mental health. In fact, 1 in 5 young individuals feel they "don't look good enough." Helen will help you address body image issues and change negative self-beliefs.

Parent Education

We will assess the nutrition knowledge of both parents and children to identify strengths and areas for improvement. This includes evaluating the family environment, food choice influences, and parental impacts on healthy eating habits. Our goal is to pinpoint factors that can enhance nutrition education and promote healthier lifestyles for the entire family.
