🎬🍿 Nothing beats a cozy night at our favorite theatre — 💫

From the heated, reclining seats (yes, actual blankets are welcome 👀🙌) to the amazing menu + drinks, this spot always makes movie night feel next-level. Tonight’s pick: a crisp + refreshing with a chicken quesadilla + classic movie popcorn… because why not make the big screen feel like home but better? ✨

Whether it’s craft cocktails, local brews, or classic concessions — The Springs has it all. Add in their indie flicks, blockbusters, and events, and it’s easy to see why we keep coming back.

🖤 Recline. Relax. Enjoy the show.

🌸✨ What a magical night at !

We gathered with + Laureate Eating Disorders Program (Tulsa, OK) for a networking + flower arranging workshop right here in Dunwoody 🌿💐

💜 A truly unique experience where we got to:
🌷 Build our own “dark & moody” bouquets (JJ’s style!)
🫶 Connect with colleagues + community
📖 Learn about Laureate’s incredible program

A few highlights from their care model that stood out to us:
💡 Clients stay with the same therapist, dietitian & psychiatrist across levels of care — true continuity + trust.
🍽️ Staff share meals with clients to support food normalization + recovery.
👩‍👧 Separate programming for adolescent girls + adult women, meeting each where they are.

Beauty, advocacy, and connection — all in one night. 🌿✨

Big thanks to for hosting us and to Laureate for sharing their mission with such passion. 💜

Here’s to more events where flowers + healing go hand in hand 🌸

Lost Mountain Alpaca Ranch 🦙💛

We got to meet all the sweet lady alpacas (seriously, how cute are they?!) and connect with the incredible owners of this special place. Their warmth made the day even more memorable. 💕

A big thank you to .lpc.ryt — Amanda Marks, LPC, LMHC — for leading us through a grounding restorative yoga session 🧘‍♀️. The perfect balance of connection, movement, and mindfulness on this gorgeous fall day 🍂☀️.

Community, conversation, and alpacas… what more could you ask for? 💫

What an incredible day with and our sponsor The Meadows 💙✨

We kicked things off with a networking brunch 🥐☕ — filled with conversation, connection, and community. Nothing like gathering with fellow professionals who share the same passion for helping others heal. 🤝💬

Then came our CEU presentation 🎓📚: Healing the Hungry Heart — Uncovering Trauma’s Relationship to Eating Disorders and Chronic Pain. Such a powerful, thought-provoking session that left us all with tools and deeper insight to carry back into our work. 💡💪

We had the privilege of learning from the amazing Jenni Schaefer ✨ — bestselling author of Life Without Ed, Goodbye Ed, Hello Me, and Almost Anorexic. She even signed my copy of Life Without Ed with the sweetest message — such a full-circle moment! 🖊️📖💙

We also heard from powerhouse clinicians:
🌟 Dr. Tara Arnold, PhD, LCSW, CEDS-C, RYT-200 — Founder & Clinical Director of Deepen Wellness & Psychotherapy, IAEDP Mentorship Chair, speaker, supervisor, and expert in DBT, trauma, and eating disorders. 🧠💬

🌟 Pamela Madsen, MS, LPC, ACS, RYT-200 — Founder & Clinical Director of Sea Change Psychotherapy, President of IAEDP Atlanta, clinical supervisor and consultant specializing in relational trauma, eating disorders, OCD, SUD, and more. 🌊🐚

Events like these remind us of the power of community 💞, connection 🌍, and continued learning 📖 in the eating disorder field. I’m so excited for all of our future gatherings and the growth still to come! ✨🙌

✨Friendly reminder✨
You are more than your body, your weight, or how you look. 💜

Eating disorder recovery isn’t about becoming “pretty enough” or “small enough.” It’s about reclaiming your life, your joy, and your ability to connect with others without shame or fear.

You are already enough—right here, right now. 🌿💡

This is a late post, but cheers to fun Eating disorder networking events 💜 oh, the people you meet and the conversations you have!

Had the most fantastic time at Culinary Dropout with Kelly Kelly from Koru Springs Treatment Center. The food, the drinks, and—most importantly—the connection—made this such a meaningful evening. 🌮🍹

I can’t wait until we get to do this again soon!

This was another beautiful reminder that connection happens through food. Sharing a meal isn’t just about nourishment—it’s about community, mentorship, and meaningful relationships.

For those in recovery: please remember to keep working—because the healing you’re doing today is what makes it possible to sit at the table peacefully with your people. Those moments of laughter, guidance, and connection are worth it. 🌱✨

🍿🎬 Movie night done right at ! From the buttery popcorn to the refreshing drinks (yes, that’s a Long Drink in the cupholder 👀), this spot has everything you need for the perfect theatre experience.

Comfy recliner seats ✔️
Delicious food & drinks ✔️
The best vibes for date night or a chill hang ✔️

If you’re in Atlanta, don’t miss out on this gem—it’s so much more than just a movie theatre! ✨

🎬 One of my favorite activities? Movie nights with all the good snacks! My favorite combo from The Springs Cinema & Tap House : chicken quesadilla, buttery popcorn, a Coke, and a long drink seltzer. 🍿🥤🌮✨

As a dietitian, I want to remind you that all foods can fit. Food at the movies isn’t “bad” or something to feel guilty about—it’s food, it’s fun, and it’s part of enjoying life. This is a perfectly normal (and delicious) date night. ❤️

You deserve to experience your favorite foods without restriction or shame. Food is meant to be enjoyed—whether it’s popcorn in a theater, a salad at lunch, or dessert after dinner. 🥗🍦🍫

So next time you’re headed to the movies, order what sounds good, sit back, and savor the experience—you deserve it. 🙌

📍 The Springs Cinema & Tap House = top tier movie comfort + food experience. Highly recommend checking them out!
