About Maggie Felmann
Eating Disorder Recovery Coach CCIEDC
“Here’s how Maggie stands out as an Eating Disorder Recovery Coach: She doesn’t want your recovery to look like hers. She’s not going to be posting grocery hauls or what eating looks like as a recovered individual. Maggie helps you find value in your unique path, not some cookie cutter package with a bow on top. She didn’t find that helpful before being fully recovered, and surely doesn’t think so now. Maggie believes in challenging her clients to face their fears, celebrating even the smallest wins while analyzing and learning from setbacks. Recovery ebbs and flows until its a “thing” of the past. Her approach to supporting recovery will help you unlock YOUR potential - one step at a time.”
-Jane Zeltser, Practice Manager, ERC
Growing up in West LA as a young artist and performer, Maggie knew the challenges of society’s pressures from a very early age. She struggled for many years with various versions of an eating disorder that was relentless and unforgiving. Having recovered from her own life threatening eating disorder, she proclaimed that one day she would be involved in aiding others on their journey to recovery from eating disorders and disordered eating.
Now, several years later as a retired performer, she brings to the table years extensive and thorough training coupled with a passion to help shift the way people relate to food, their bodies and the world. Her long term recovery is a testament to the possibility that recovery is attainable for the client…even through the trials and tribulations life can throw your way. Having fully recovered she is able to help her clients see you through from the depths of their eating disorders as far into recovery as they want to go… which is usually a lot farther than they think. She believes that at the end of the day, once you get some time on the other side, it is up to the you/the client to decide what YOU want out of their life. She is ready to walk along side you and hold you accountable to reach your goals and the goals set forth by your treatment team... with patience, understanding and insight.
Maggie uses her training from the Carolyn Costin Institute and her personal and professional lived experiences to empower her clients to advocate for the parts of themselves that their eating disorder has silenced. Whether you are on the fence or fully committed to your recovery, she will show up for your healthy voice until she can guide you to show up for it yourself.
