My recovery story
Hi, my name is Breana!
I grew up as a military brat, being trotted around the world, but today I call Aurora, CO home. I studied Psychology and Nutrition/Dietetics at the University of Northern Colorado. I always knew I wanted to work with the eating disorder population, and my education/life experience gave me a keen understanding of the demographic. I have worked in the eating disorder field since I graduated college, helping others to find their way to recovery.
Personally, I struggled with an eating disorder throughout my teenage years. Once I realized, and I was able to accept how my eating disorder was hurting me, I found the tools needed to help me recover. Recovering from an eating disorder was the hardest, yet most rewarding, thing I have ever done in my life. Recovery taught me resiliency, self-compassion, and how to truly love myself for who I am, and not who I wanted others to believe I was. Recovery allowed me to find my personality and my quirks outside of my ED, and truly it allowed me to find freedom in my life again. I wish to bring that wisdom into the work I do as a Recovery Coach, to help others disengage with their eating disorder and realize their potential in life, outside of their ED.
