“I have been working with Merrit for a little over a year now ever since leaving in-patient treatment. She has been such a constant source of encouragement in my life and I honestly wouldn’t be doing so well without her support. Our weekly meetings are catered to whatever I am needing at the time: a coffee chat, grocery shopping together, making an inspiration board, planning my 
week out, setting goals, and more.”

“Having access to her (merrit Elizabeth) whenever I am struggling with a meal or just life in general has been so helpful”

-GC

“She has helped me find body neutrality and that there is so much more to think about in life. I appreciate all the things she has done for me and her other clients. She creates a safe place to talk about anything and everything. When i am struggling i know she is always there and ready to help. I am so grateful I found her.”

"Merrit has helped me so much in recovery."

-bm

"She is so kind and really cares. She truly believes recovery is possible for anyone. I look forward to my sessions with her every week. I always come away from them feeling challenged, more confident in myself, and so encouraged and built up. Her energy and passion to help people is so powerful. Since I began working with her it has truly been such an amazing process of growth and change for me and she has been there for me every step of the way to support and encourage me to keep fighting, even on my worst days. Do yourself a favor and contact her today!"

"Working with Merrit has been a game changer in my recovery process."

-JF

"She has been an amazing, essential part of my recovery. It’s incredible how helpful she is—everything she knows and passes along, especially mindfulness and incorporating it from when you wake up in the morning until you go to bed at night. She has been incredible and I think everyone that is going through recovery should have an eating disorder coach. It’s essential."

"Merrit has been everything."

-AJ

"Although it may be a life long journey through recovery, I am so much more confident that I will succeed with Merrit on my side. It is so nice to have someone to talk to that has struggled with similar things and has felt the same way I had, and explicitly talks about her journey and the comparisons, with no filter. The less formal approach Merrit has with me being able to text or Facetime her whenever, and tell her anything, has been key to my recovery. Every time I think about resorting back to past behaviors, I think about how successful and happy Merrit is and I remember the big picture so that I can get through temporary discomfort. MERRIT ROCKS."

"Merrit has been an extraordinary help in my recovery from my eating disorder." 

-ka

"She has walked with me through so many steps in my process from stepping down from a higher level of care, to sitting with me when I wanted to give up; from cheering me on when I take the next step, to encouraging me to do things I never imagined I could do. Having Merrit’s in-the-moment support has been vital to assisting me in shifting away from constant disordered thinking to hopeful recovery-focused thinking. When I met Merrit I was honestly a shell of a person. Her creative approaches and, what I sometimes think are wild, ideas have helped me grow into a whole, recovering, person." 

"I have been working with Merrit for almost a year now and can honestly say that working with her shifted me from quasi recovery into honest recovery."

-ET

"Talking to her for the first time I had felt like I already met her, months before I ever did. She always has her ears open, closely listening not missing little details about my stories. She always gives the best advice and suggests countless coping skills to practice when I feel anxious. She has helped me to be almost fully recovered, and I definitely couldn’t have made it this far without her." 

"Merrit is the most loving and inviting person I’ve ever spoken with."

-kv

Her loving, enthusiastic, and encouraging attitude helped me overcome any worries or behaviors that the impersonal nature of treatment couldn’t handle. She was there to work through fear foods, body image, and allowed me to find a positive self image. No matter what came up in my day to day, she was there to support me. I can’t recommend her enough—she’s essential to full recovery!

"Merrit was the difference between living in partial recovery and truly living freely from my ED."
