 Constant Self-Doubt and Second-Guessing
You’re walking on eggshells, afraid that one wrong word or action could make things worse. You question everything—your instincts, your parenting, your ability to help—and it’s exhausting.

Here's a sneak peek of the first five modules
Understanding Eating Disorders and Your Role in Recovery
In Module 1, you’ll gain a clear, compassionate understanding of what eating disorders are—and what they are not.
You’ll learn how these illnesses impact your child’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and why traditional parenting instincts may not always be effective in recovery.
This module will also help you begin to define your role in the healing process, so you can step in with purpose, not panic. By the end, you’ll feel more grounded, informed, and ready to support your child in a way that truly helps.
Navigating the Emotional Rollercoaster
Module 2 focuses on helping you manage the intense emotions that often come with supporting a child through eating disorder recovery.
You’ll learn how to recognize and regulate feelings like fear, guilt, frustration, and helplessness—so they don’t overwhelm you or affect your ability to show up for your child.
This module also offers strategies to prevent burnout and build emotional resilience, even in the hardest moments. By the end, you’ll feel more steady, centered, and capable of being the calm, consistent support your child needs.
Building a Strong Parent-Child Connection
Module 3 is all about rebuilding trust and deepening your connection with your child, even in the midst of recovery challenges.
You’ll learn how to foster open, non-judgmental communication and show up in a way that helps your child feel emotionally safe and seen.
This module also explores how to reconnect with your child beyond the eating disorder—nurturing the relationship at the heart of their healing. By the end, you’ll feel more connected, compassionate, and aligned with your child on this journey.
Supporting Recovery at Home
Module 4 equips you with the tools to create a home environment that supports your child’s recovery rather than unintentionally reinforcing the eating disorder.
You’ll learn how to navigate mealtimes with less tension, establish routines that promote safety and predictability, and reduce common triggers within the household.
This module also guides you in collaborating with your child to set realistic, recovery-focused goals. By the end, you’ll feel confident in making your home a safe, nurturing space that reinforces healing every day.
Communicating with Confidence
Module 5 teaches you how to communicate with clarity, compassion, and confidence—even in the most emotionally charged moments.
You’ll learn what to say (and what to avoid) when talking about food, body image, and emotions, and how to use proven techniques like active listening and “I” statements to foster trust and understanding.
This module also equips you to de-escalate conflict and resolve misunderstandings without damaging your relationship. By the end, you’ll feel more empowered to have honest, productive conversations that support your child’s recovery.

Mealtime Scripts

Whether your child is refusing food, anxious, or shutting down, you'll know exactly what to say to support them without escalating stress or conflict.

The Parent’s Guide to Navigating the Care Team helps you understand the roles of each provider involved in your child’s care and how to communicate effectively with them.

Eating Disorders from a Parts Perspective
The Understanding Eating Disorders Through a Parts Perspective Guide introduces you to a compassionate, therapeutic framework that helps make sense of your child’s behaviors and emotional struggles. You’ll learn how to recognize the protective “parts” driving the eating disorder and how to respond with empathy, not fear—strengthening your connection and supporting healing from the inside out.
Hi, I'm Kristin
As a teenager, I struggled with an eating disorder—and like so many families, mine didn’t know how to help. My parent was loving and well-intentioned, but lacked the tools, guidance, and understanding needed to truly support my recovery. That experience left a lasting impact on me, and it’s what drives my passion today: to ensure other families don’t have to walk this road in the dark.
Now, as a licensed therapist specializing in eating disorders and someone who is fully recovered, I bring both professional expertise and deep personal insight to the work I do with parents. I understand not only what your child is going through, but also the emotional weight you carry as a parent trying to help them heal.
I created the rescuED coaching program to fill the gap I once wished my own family had. This program is more than education—it’s a comprehensive support system built with empathy, clinical knowledge, and real-world tools. You’ll learn exactly how to show up for your child with clarity, calm, and confidence—because with the right guidance, recovery is possible, and your support matters more than you know.

Here's what makes rescuED different:
Powerful Combination of Professional Expertise and Lived Experience
As a licensed eating disorder therapist who has fully recovered from an eating disorder yourself, I bring both clinical credibility and personal insight—offering support that’s both deeply knowledgeable and truly relatable for parents.
Parent-Focused, Action-Oriented Support
 Unlike general education programs, rescuED is designed specifically for parents—offering clear, step-by-step tools, scripts, and strategies that empower them to take an active, informed role in their child’s recovery at home.
Ongoing Live Coaching and Community Connection
With weekly live group coaching calls and access to a supportive community, parents receive consistent, personalized guidance and encouragement—so they never feel alone or unsure about what to do next.
My Online Course is a good fit for you if:
- You feel overwhelmed and unsure how to support your child through eating disorder recovery and want clear, expert guidance.
- You’re ready to take an active role in your child’s healing and want practical tools, emotional support, and a step-by-step path forward.
- You’re looking for a supportive community of other parents who understand what you’re going through and want to grow together.
My Online Course is NOT a good fit for you if:
- You’re looking for therapy or treatment for your child—this course is for parents and is not a replacement for clinical care.
- You prefer a hands-off approach and aren’t looking to actively engage in the recovery process alongside your child.
- You’re expecting quick fixes rather than a process that requires time, effort, and reflection.
Don't just take it from me...

The Cost of Waiting Is Too High
The truth is—eating disorders don’t resolve on their own. The longer you wait to take action, the more deeply the disorder takes hold, and the more painful the journey becomes for both your child and your family. Hoping things will “just get better” can lead to missed windows of opportunity, increased emotional strain, and even serious health risks.
Don’t wait for a crisis to do something. You can take a steady, informed step forward right now.
rescuED gives you exactly what you’ve been searching for: expert guidance, real-world tools, and ongoing support to help you show up with strength, compassion, and confidence. The longer you hesitate, the longer you and your child stay stuck in survival mode—and I know that’s not where you want to stay.
Make the choice today that your future self—and your child—will thank you for. Join rescuED now and take the first step toward healing.
