Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to train with Becky Henry.

Meet Rebecca! 🌟

I'm excited to welcome Rebecca to the team! As a recovered clinician, Rebecca Brumm is passionate about healing the mind/body connection and the programming she creates reflects this philosophy. She believes learning to nurture a healthy relationship with one’s body can be transformative in someone’s overall quality of life. Rebecca also believes parents are in the best position to help their child recover and that they need their own support and nurturing in order to serve this role in their child’s life. 🧡

Parenting a child with an eating disorder or a suspected eating disorder is terrifying, overwhelming, and lonely.

One day their entire life is completely different.

They are angry, obsessive, and withdrawn.

Your family is not functioning- mealtime is a battlefield, and your time is consumed with fear while researching how to help and where to go with no clear answers, all as you are forced to watch your child grow sicker and sicker.

Few people really know what is required to recover from an eating disorder. Fewer realize how exhausting, demanding, and isolating it can feel to love and care for someone with an eating disorder.

And worse yet are other peoples’ judgments about what you did or did not do to cause this, as if you weren’t asking yourself this question every day.

However, parents do not cause eating disorders, just as people do not choose them. Eating disorders are dangerous mental health conditions that have dire physical implications but have no one specific cause.

Most parents who find themselves caring for a child with an eating disorder would do absolutely anything to help their child recover. Unfortunately, parents have very limited support for understanding and helping their loved ones overcome their disorder.

As an eating disorder treatment professional I have come to realize- parents like you are the most important component for their child’s recovery!

With support, guidance, training, and connection parents can become their child’s most important resource for treatment and recovery.

It takes professionals two additional years of specialty training to become certified to treat eating disorders. And yet, professionals don’t often do not have the time or resources to train parents in how to care for their loved one, even though you will ultimately do most of the care.

I’ve seen time and time again that, when parents become empowered with a little of what the professionals know, they put themselves in a position to help their children build the exact skills they need to recover.

And this maximizes their child’s chance of making a full recovery and returning to a normal life – or a life that is emotionally and physically healthier than it ever was before!

Here’s why- you comforted your child when they were tired, hungry, and upset, you loved them when they cried at night and when they fell down, you were there for them when they came to you upset and through these years of love and support you developed a bond that is powerful!

I have dedicated myself to providing education and training to parents of children with eating disorders or suspected eating disorders.

My goal is to ensure you become your child’s best possible resource in making a full and complete recovery.

I work with parents of children who are in treatment, post-treatment, or refusing treatment.

I help you harness and step into this power, to build the skills your child needs to recover in a role that no one else can provide in the same way you can.

Working through recovery can be a beautifully healing process for the loved one and for the entire family.

It can be one of the most sacred things you ever do in your life and can lead to enrichment and freedom that one might never otherwise experience.

But going it alone is more difficult, and frankly ineffective than it needs to be.

Learning how to care-give in an attuned, loving, and effective way can make all the difference in your life and your child’s recovery.
