15-Week Eating Disorder Recovery Series Starting July 10!

July 10, 2012, Ramey Nutrition is starting its 15-Week Eating Disorder Recovery Series, offering three hours of support a week, incorporating both eating disorder support groups (Tuesdays) and restorative yoga (Thursdays).

What: The support group meets one day a week and is just part of the 15-week eating disorder recovery series. The group is facilitated by Shena Washburn, RD, CD who has extensive experience working with those recovering from an eating disorder. Group is safe and inviting place to give and receive support, providing the opportunity for reflection and growth not only as an individual, but also as a community.
Tentative topics to be covered: Trust & the Recovery Process, Medical Complications, The refeeding process, Nutrition, Diet Pills, Laxatives, & Diuretics, Fad Diets, Size, Shape, & Numbers, Media & Body Image.

What: Gentle yoga is taught by Sarah Akhtar who encourages people of all-levels, body-types and physical capabilities to participate. The class promotes body awareness and acceptance by inviting each student to be present with them-self and feel where their body needs care, emotionally or physically. With a vast teaching experience, Sarah is an expert at individualizing gentle movement, encouraging each student to work at their own pace.

When: Yoga will be held Thursdays 6:30-7:30pm, the dates for the 15-week eating disorder recovery series* are as follows: 7/12, 7/19, 7/26, 8/02, 8/09, 8/16, 8/23, 8/30, 9/06, 9/13, 9/20, 9/27, 10/04, 10/11, 10/18

Who: Individuals who are recovering from an eating disorder, who are seeking a more integrated approach in an outpatient "real-world" setting.

Cost: Most insurance plans will cover this, as "group medical nutrition therapy." But please note that you are ultimately responsible for any fees your insurance does not cover. We will submit all claims to your insurance company for you, whether they are in, or out of network. We will also do our best to help determine the details of your insurance plan as it relates to this program, and we do require a signed commitment for cohesiveness and planning.

*Before joining the 15-week eating disorder recovery series...
An initial assessment is required prior to attending the 15-week eating disorder recovery series, to assure it is the right fit for you. To schedule your assessment, please call: (206) 909-8022. It would be best to schedule your assessment at least two-weeks prior to series beginning.

In an effort to provide support to all who attend; this series requires a 15-week commitment. We try our best to limit the coming and going to both the support group and gentle yoga, so we can provide the most reliable sense of support possible. So please be sure you are able to make the 15-week commitment prior to signing-up for the 15-week series. If you have any questions or concerns about potential conflicts, please speak with Shena prior to joining the group.

If you miss more than three support groups or yoga, and/or repeatedly arrive 15 minutes or more late (without prior approval), you will be asked to rejoin when you have more availability.
