What our program participants are saying...

Jane has been so wonderful and amazing through the challenges our family has gone through battling an eating disorder. She has given us all the tools and hope to get through this challenging time to have a better future and things to look forward to again.
I love this program... I wish we had it at the beginning of our journey with our daughter.  Jane truly cares about those struggling with an eating disorder and this is on display in the parent teaching videos. I've listened and had many aha moments. It's so nice to know we are not alone. Thank you Jane for this program!"
I firmly believe Jane's program is a must for any parent whose child struggles with an eating disorder. Jane is a very personable and professional specialist who has so much to offer. Jane's program helped my wife and I far better than our medical provider.
Jane's program is an essential component of helping parents understand how to best help their child. I cannot say enough good things about Jane's program and her influence on my family and so many others who have been helped by Jane. I am eternally grateful to have come across Jane's program.
