“If you have an eating disorder and are reading this, please seek professional help from a qualified, educated source. This is predatory marketing, using sales pages and funnels to make money off of people suffering from Bulimia - a life threatening mental illness. There’s not even a caveat on her limitations as a “coach” encouraging people to seek medical intervention in the case that they’re experiencing something outside the scope of what she’s qualified to even speak on. There’s no acknowledgment of trauma, other underlying causes of eating disorders, while also haphazardly addressing suicidal ideation with no trigger warnings.
Preying on vulnerable, mentally ill people seeking help, by instead encouraging them to pay an insta-coach in the online course space? Frickin mind blowing. The stigma surrounding mental health makes seeking out a “coach” seem so much more palatable and less shameful. But this is dangerous, irresponsible and predatory marketing. PLEASE seek qualified professional help before resorting to a self-proclaimed eating disorder coach.
Wishing you so much strength and healing xo”
