The Introduction to Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders is now online! 📌 Join us in March 2026 from anywhere in the world to learn about the ERED approach 💟

Embodiment isn’t an “add-on” to eating disorder work—it is the foundation.

Clients who struggle with feeding, fullness, digestion, hunger, and eating behaviors are often navigating overwhelm in their nervous systems, early attachment imprints, or sensory challenges that go unseen in traditional ED treatment.

The Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders model helps clinicians understand these missing layers 🧅

If you’re ready to integrate a deeper, more compassionate, and neurobiologically informed approach into your practice, this training, blending theory and experiential practice, is for you 😇

Now fully online and open to practitioners worldwide.
March 13 – July 27, 2026

💟 final chance to register 💟

There comes a point in any practitioner’s journey when new tools aren’t enough.

What’s needed is a deeper shift in how we relate to ourselves, our clients, and the body itself.

Moving Through Barriers to Embodiment is a 2-module, in-person training for providers who have completed an Intro to ERED course and are ready to deepen their embodied presence.

Through embodied somatic exploration of neurological regulation and attachment theory, we’ll explore relational experiences that shape our sense of self and behavioral patterns associated with taking in nourishment.

This training explores clinical applications of foundational concepts, theoretical models, therapeutic maps and skills introduced in Tier 1 courses.
You’ll dive deeper into a nuanced and refined understanding of:
➤ Polyvagal theory + the Window of Tolerance
➤ The Action Cycle + Barriers to Action
➤ The Relational Cycle of attachment and defense
➤ How trauma lives in the body — and how to support healing from the inside out

📍 Chapel Hill, NC| Oct 23–27, 2025 & March 26–30, 2026
