About the Presenter
“Hi, I’m Eada! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Morning Bird Therapy in Denver. I am passionate about helping adults and teens heal their relationship with mind, body, food, and exercise. I have worked in the mental health field since 2018 in hospitals, schools, private practice, and all levels of eating disorder care. Although I specialize in working with food and body, I love to work with other intersecting concerns like anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, life transitions, and more. I also love working with athletes and students.”
