Testimonials:
"Thank you so much for everything you have done to help Makenna over these past 3 months or so. You really helped us through a rough spot that I wasn’t sure at times we would get through. Your patience, expertise and techniques were exactly what Makenna and I needed to help her know that food is safe. Makennas positive spirit and desire to eat again as well as your demeanor and effective ways of showing us how to take it slow and go step by step despite some setbacks at times were exactly what we all needed. Also, the way you followed through and helped us reach out to other professionals in the community showed me how much you cared and thought about everything that could help Makenna to succeed at her goal! Thank you so much!!"
