About the Facilitators: This training will be co-facilitated by Dana Sturtevant, MS, RD and Hilary Kinavey, MS, LPC. In 2005, Dana and Hilary started facilitating groups to help women let go of food/weight obsession. Realizing they shared a similar approach and philosophy regarding food, weight, body image, and health - one directly counter to that of conventional institutional paradigms, the two decided to merge their practices to create a partnership that would offer a revolutionary approach to women seeking answers regarding eating disorders, weight loss, exercise, and nutrition. Dana and Hilary are adjunct professors in the Eating Disorder certification program at Lewis & Clark College.
