During September 2021, all proceeds from two popular online courses on how to cope with eating disorders are being donated by Nourishing Routes and eLearning Marketplace to Alder Hey Children’s Charity.
Marissa Pendlebury, author of the Nourishing Routes online courses available through eLearning Marketplace (https://www.elearningmarketplace.co.uk), now works at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital having overcome her own struggles with eating disorders.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists says that the number of children and young people with potentially life-threatening eating disorders has reached record levels during the COVID-19 pandemic.(1)
Marissa provides two courses through eLearning Marketplace which are designed not only for those experiencing eating disorders but also those who care for them, as family, friends or medical professionals:
Eating Disorder Recovery: Mental Health Compassioneer Academy – CPD Certified:
This Mental Health Academy is also known as The Nourishing Routes Academy, a unique, empowering and cost-effective solution to the astronomical impacts associated with disordered eating, chronic dieting and poor body image. The key aim of the Academy is to Love Yourself from the Inside Out, while breaking free from any form of disordered eating and finding full freedom with your mind, body and heart.
Eating Disorder Recovery – CPD Certified:
This CPD Certified weight gain e-guide and workbook avidly covers all the essential topics regarding eating disorder recovery, and stems from Marissa’s own personal experience of a full recovery from anorexia nervosa, as well as a decade of studying and researching psychology, nutrition, health and holistic wellness.
“I am claiming back my life through practicing self-compassion, social connection, yoga, practically challenging all of my fear foods, expressing creativity and understanding the value of peer support from someone who really knows what eating disorders and the recovery process feels and looks like,” explains Marissa.
