On January 21st, Montecatini is hosting an amazing panel of authors, animal advocates, artists, a musician, an app developer and a photographer–each of whom has struggled with and ultimately healed from an eating disorder.
Led by Jenni Schaefer, these inspiring speakers will share about what it was like to lose sight of their dreams, and how they were able to reconnect with their passions and true selves in recovery.
This event is designed to inspire and uplift anyone on the path of recovery from an eating disorder. Therapists, social workers, nutritionists, yoga instructors, and all those involved with eating disorder recovery are welcome!
