Supporting you

through every stage THE PROCESS

01.

BUILDING INSIGHT AND RAPPORT

Renourishing the body through structured eating to repair effects of malnutrition and eating disorder behaviors; understanding what foods your body needs (and why!).

02.

restructuring beliefs & Behaviors

Mastering skills to help change harmful food and body-based beliefs and behaviors, forming more positive ways of relating to yourself during eating experiences (and beyond!).

03.

restoring body trust

We'll support you in increasing confidence and self-trust with food and your body through attunement, self-care, embodiment, and Intuitive Eating practices.

Disordered Eating 

We understand that disordered eating can significantly impact your life, without a formal diagnosis. If you’re struggling with chronic dieting, obsessive label reading, emotional eating, or something that just feels “off” in your relationship with food, you’re in the right place.  

Compulsive Exercise 

Many people don’t realize that exercise can actually be unhealthy and health-deteriorating when it comes from a place of compensation and self-punishment vs nourishment and self-care. If you struggle with compulsive exercise patterns, feeling guilty for taking days off, & making yourself go to the gym when it’s the last thing on this earth that you want to do, we will help you establish a relationship with exercise that actually feels good physically, mentally, and emotionally too. 

Eating Disorder Treatment 

If you are looking for an eating disorder dietitian to round out your treatment team, we’ve got you covered! Eating disorder recovery is our bread and butter (no pun intended!) We’ve seen it all, with previous work experience in all levels of care, & are highly skilled to support you or your loved one in meeting your recovery goals. We are trauma-informed, seeking to establish safety in our therapeutic alliance with you first and foremost. Both of us have lived experience healing from an eating disorder and/or supporting a loved one in healing. We don’t pretend our story is yours. We do, however, believe that this gives us a level of empathy & insight that cannot otherwise be felt. 

Body Image Coaching 

One of the biggest reasons eating concerns arise in our culture is their connection to one’s body image. We are acutely aware of this, and will not shove your body image concerns to the side or brush them under the rug. We provide body image education, tools, and strategies to help improve your body image.

Pregnancy and Postpartum

Pregnancy and postpartum are particularly vulnerable times in a women’s life. Up to 7.5% of women report eating disorders during pregnancy, while 40% of women are concerned about their weight during pregnancy. Women with current or past eating disorder diagnosis, regardless of subtype, are at an increased risk for adverse pregnancy and neonatal complications. We provide a soft landing place, accountability, and support to pregnant and postpartum women with past or present eating and body image struggles (and we love it!)

Weight-Inclusive Medical Nutrition Therapy  

Many clients come to us with a past or present eating disorder that is also paired with a nutrition-related medical diagnosis, such as food allergies, digestive disorders, T1&2 diabetes mellitus, PCOS, endocrine disorders, high blood pressure, and more. If this is you, we will help you navigate the delicate balance of applying gentle, medical nutrition therapy strategies to optimize your health, while maintaining a positive relationship with food.

Find out what sets Murray Nutrition apart

We have the experience

Our clinicians have a combined 15+ years of experience providing nutrition care to individuals and families healing from eating disorders. Several of our staff have personal experience healing from an eating disorder; others have supported loved ones in the recovery process. This combination of clinical and personal experience is something that has been proven invaluable to our clients.

More than a meal plan

We help you craft an individualized nutrition plan to normalize your eating patterns, while also teaching you tools and skills to help reduce the mental and emotional challenges of eating.

We support families, too

We know from experience that the best recovery results grow when everyone is in this together. That's why we offer nutrition counseling to educate and empower families and loved ones of those recovering from eating disorders.

Cultivate your inner intuitive eater

Although Intuitive Eating has grown in popularity over the past decade, there is still much nuance that is not discussed on social media, which can lead to confusion and frustration. That's where we come in, helping you apply these principles in your daily life.

Make Peace with your body

When negative body image is part of your struggles with food, it's nearly impossible to separate that from food and eating. For many people, these struggles can feel one and the same. Our team of eating disorder dietitians is trained in a holistic approach to recovery, meaning we'll support you through struggles with body image in addition to food.

Investing in your recovery is a value we take very seriously, and we make sure that each session is worth your while. Care coordination with your other providers and intermittent email support between sessions is included in the cost of care. If you are concerned about the cost of nutrition therapy, talk with us. We do have a number of reduced rate scholarship spots available through our partnership with Project Heal. 

We are happy to provide you with a Good Faith Estimate for the total cost of nutrition therapy at your request.

A note about insurance

Murray Nutrition does not currently accept insurance. We do accept HSA/FSA cards, checks, and cash, and can provide an itemized superbill to submit to your insurance company upon request.

No Surprises Act: Out-of-network providers are required by law to estimate direct service costs. If you would like an individualized "good faith estimate" of treatment for the next year, please contact us and we will discern this with the best of our abilities.

This is a life changing company!

Before I started working with Murray Nutrition (MN), my relationship to food and eating gave me constant anxiety. I was worried, confused and uneasy at every meal. After hearing about MN, I decided to take the steps to recovery and I have never looked back. My relationship to body image improved drastically and my quality of life skyrocketed. Without my work with [MN], I wouldn’t feel the sureness and groundedness that I do with my daily practice of recovery. I am so grateful to MN, Emily, and Caroline for helping me find this peace and mental health. I could not recommend them more positively - this is a life changing company!
