Brandi Powell was instrumental to our daughter’s recovery. She was able to give support and understanding while pushing ourselves and our daughter in the direction of recovery. She provided food and nutritional services, as well as helping us understanding the link between the mental part of the eating disorder and the physical part. Brandi was a consistent voice throughout our recovery process.

I met Brandi when I was in recovery from my eating disorder. I had a very skewed and unhealthy view of food. I didn't enjoy eating, I used it as a coping method. In my mind, there were "good foods and bad foods". I was ashamed of my behaviors with my eating disorder but Brandi was supportive, understanding, non-judgmental, and truly wanted to partner with me in my recovery. Brandi guided me and helped me understand my relationship with food. Together we developed a plan to slowly start reintroducing foods that I was "afraid" to eat (trigger foods). She is very knowledgeable and is amazing at what she does. Today I have a healthy relationship with myself and food. I appreciate Brandi walking the road with me.

​Brandi Powell was an irreplaceable force in navigating our child's battle with anorexia nervosa. Few dieticians have a specialty (CEDS-S) with eating disorders, so we were grateful to find Brandi and then amazed by her vast skillset with food and emotional support. A gifted dietitian, and equally inclined to provide emotional coaching through mental roadblocks that go hand-in-hand with eating disorders, Brandi was instrumental in helping us overcome the fear of food. Never once did we feel alone in our journey. In fact, I appreciated Brandi's gentle prodding when she knew we had to face hard situations at home. Her intentional and steadfast care helped us heal after so much trauma and still brings me to tears. At times she felt like a counselor, a friend, and even a warrior linked arm and arm with us as we traversed the uncertain terrain of an eating disorder. She truly understands the unrelenting power eating disorders have over a person, and yet, she does not overwhelm a patient or family with complex meal plans or calorie counting. Through her dedication, expertise, and compassion, Brandi no doubt had a big role in our child's ability to recover from anorexia and thrive in school and in sports. We feel incredibly grateful and blessed to have worked with Brandi and are encouraged that she will be able to share her gifts with others on their road to recovery.​
