Hi there! Carolyn McCarter Wood here.

When an eating disorder is affecting y0ur child, you deserve clear guidance and practical support, without being blamed or sidelined!

When our kids are not OK, we worry. Being scared about our children's health and well-being is natural for parents.

And it is our job to help them overcome serious healh challenges like eating disorders.

I will help you move from scared to motivated and empowered to help-- whether your child welcomes it or not!

Everything is hard now! Family meals are a nightmare or gone. Dinners out are impossible. You never know what to say.

Sometimes it feels like a stranger has taken over your kid's body and is living in your house!

And other people say the dumbest things to you 'cause they just don't get what your family is dealing with!

Anger is completely normal in this situation, but blowing your stack won't help your kid get better. I have tools to help regulate your nervous system in this hard, hard time.

Everything you do or say to your kid seems to make things worse!

Your kid keeps telling your to butt out! But you see they are not getting better.

You might be taking your kid to appointments, but don't know what your place is on the team.I

Our work will give you the confidence to take your place as a leader in your child's recovery, not a helpless bystander.

If our kid is not OK, surely it must be our fault, right? WRONG! Parents have been blamed for eating disorders for decades. But it is just not true!

Let me be clear.... your child's eating disorder is not your fault.

Eating disorder risk is HUGELY genetic, and we can't control our genes!

Plus, we live in a weight and diet obsessed culture. That can't help anyone!

Your child's eating disorder is not your fault, but supporting their recovery is your responsibility! Our work will help you discern what that looks like in your family.

What parents are saying. . .

Carolyn has been an incredible asset to our team in my daughter's recovery with anorexia. We had been working for at least 10 months with a highly skilled, effective therapist and nutritionist; but it wasn't until we added Carolyn to the team that the needle of progress began to shiftsignificantly in the right direction. My daughter finally has her life and light back. Her success is hugely due to Carolyn's guidance and understanding.

---Beth, mother of a teen daughter with anorexia

Carolyn brings to our family a voice of experience- because she has been where we are. She has provided us with compassionate and objective advice at each step of our journey- and has made herself available for questions or concerns that arise in the moment.

Why Work with Me?

I always thought of myself as a pretty good parent. So, it came as a shock when my daughter developed an eating disorder before she even hit high school!

It was a long, hard road, and I made about every mistake in the book. We traveled far and wide to find treatment. But we survived: my hubby and I are still together AND my daughter is healthy, happily married, and living in Charleston, the city of her dreams!

My family's experience changed my career path. I became an expert in supporting individuals and families who are fighting eating disorders, especially anorexia and bulimia. I have helped many families who are facing the same nightmare you are in right now!
