Ethical Weight Management
and GLP-1 Support

Eating Freely training played a central role in shaping how I support clients with binge and emotional eating, and it continues to inform my work with women using GLP-1 medications.

The resources listed here are the same trainings that informed my own practice journey and underpin the structured, psychologically informed support I provide to GLP-1 users.
