BridgePoint Center for Eating Disorders

What is nutrition coaching?

Nutrition coaching is for participants who are ready to take action and find their next steps with nutrition and their relationship with food and body.

Every session is collaborative, client-centered, and unique, as it is based on the needs of the individual. Some sessions involve learning about nutrition and/or physiology, others involve processing food and body image thoughts and feelings, and most involve coming up with a simple action plan.

This is based on the 1% approach at BridgePoint, and is always about what we can add in.Nutrition coaching sessions happen online or by phone.

There is also support available in between sessions through the Recovery Record app! In this app, participants can track their recovery journey, access tools, and message directly with BridgePoint team. Recovery Record is available to all alumni whether or not they participate in nutrition coaching.

Who can access nutrition coaching services?

Nutrition coaching is available to BridgePoint Alumni (which means you have completed a minimum of an onsite or virtual retreat) who do not have access to a dietitian or nutritionist who is trained in the eating disorders field.

Who would my nutrition coach be?

Nutrition coaching services are provided by team member Jackie Reimche, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Eating Disorder Recovery Coach. She follows the non-diet, weight-inclusive, and Heath at Every Size approach.

Testimonials

Eating disorders are a lifetime struggle and I strongly believe in building and maintaining a strong positive support system. I am so thankful for the BridgePoint programs for planting the seed of self-acceptance that I needed at that time to begin my road to recovery.

I trust everyone and the confidentiality and the trust here. It's difficult at times, very emotional and it's hard dealing with a lot of feelings but it's what you have to do and it feels so better much and so supportive.

There's no comparison to anything else I've tried and it’s a real blessing and an opportunity to be able to come here and an opportunity not to be taken lightly. It's a privilege to be here and I know that I will leave here a different person.

I can identify the issues and accept them and be able to learn how to work with that. I think over time we can say goodbye to the eating disorder. There is freedom at the end of the tunnel, but it takes work.

It's not about being broken and getting fixed, it's that we are all individuals who have pain and we're learning how to cope in a very healthy way.

The fact that BridgePoint operates so differently than the traditional medical model was very refreshing, and proved to be vital to my experience and healing.
