In addition, Nataly offers meal support to her clients:

Meal support involves a variety of techniques depending on the individual needs of the client, with the aim to improve a person’s relationship with food.

During a meal support session, the client will either arrive with a meal/snack already prepared, or will prepare it during the session. This time is intentionally used to challenge clients in new ways, such as by trying fear foods, practicing appropriate portion sizing, and challenging any behaviours that are rooted in the eating disorder (e.g. cutting food into small pieces, using small utensils), all while building safety by being with a qualified practitioner who will ultimately guide and support the client.

This would be applicable to anyone who has disordered eating or a diagnosed eating disorder (i.e. anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating, ARFID).
