Speaking Events
We deliver engaging, customized sessions for universities, professional panels, podcasts, community events, and organizations. Each presentation is designed to educate, inspire, and create meaningful impact, helping audiences understand the complexities of eating disorders, high-risk temperament profiles, and evidence-based strategies that support lasting recovery.
Every session is thoughtfully tailored to meet your audience where they are. Dana blends clinical expertise with practical tools, real-world insight, and relatable examples so attendees leave with actionable strategies, heightened awareness, and greater confidence in supporting themselves or others.
Our work emphasizes early intervention, stigma reduction, and compassionate, sustainable approaches to mental health and eating disorder care. We integrate systems thinking, organizational strategy, and individual-level insights, empowering communities, schools, and teams to build environments that foster resilience, wellbeing, and lasting change.
Whether your goal is to educate, spark meaningful conversation, or inspire advocacy, Dana’s presentations equip audiences to understand and respond to eating disorder and mental health challenges with insight, confidence, and compassion.
