We wrote a workbook…

It’s Not All About the Food is a practical, compassionate workbook for those navigating eating disorder treatment—whether you’re aiming for recovery, stabilisation, or simply the next doable step.

Written by an experienced clinician, this book blends clear education with real-world insight, cutting through myths, diet culture, and perfectionism. It’s not a cure or a one-size-fits-all plan, but a supportive companion designed to be used imperfectly: written in, skipped around, and made your own.

This workbook is written for adults, because the author has worked primarily in the field with older teens and adults, and because she didn’t want to filter her language. Consider this your language warning!

Inside, you’ll find guidance on the medical and psychological sides of eating disorders, building a treatment team, understanding food and bodies, and strengthening your sense of self—without judgement or fluff.

This workbook is for those who know it was never just about the food, and who are brave enough to keep going anyway.

Launching June 2026.
