Free Monthly Drop-In Eating Disorder Recovery Support Circle

JOIN THE CIRCLE

A free monthly support group for adults navigating eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, body image challenges, or food anxiety.

“I have joined many different groups, but Francesca's eating disorder groups are my favourites. The group brings together people of like mind, creating a connection that extends into the future, supporting one another compassionately.

I promise that if you give it a chance, you will be changed in a way that will support you, as it has for me. It is a group I would pay much to join, and that it is free is like getting a fortune in my life!”

Bill, Group Participant

EARTH is a free online group for eating disorder recovery.

It’s a space to cultivate body trust, practice deepening into embodiment, and be witnessed in a circle of people who understand what it means to navigate the courageous work of coming home to your body.

    Each circle begins with a grounding somatic practice, a discussion and exploration around a discussion theme, and closes with integration. Bring your questions and reflections. Simply show up as you are. You’ll leave with a felt sense of belonging, clarity, and connection—fuel for the journey ahead.

    “We will always be our bodies, but the way we experience our bodies can evolve.
 And that evolution can be deeply good.”

    Hillary L. McBride

    WHAT TO EXPECT

    Each 90-minute circle includes:

    An exploration and discussion of a relevant recovery topic, offered with nuance, compassion, and practical tools.

    Group Sharing

      EARTH FAQ’s

        • Group support offers unique benefits that 1:1 coaching or therapy can’t always provide. In a group, you’ll feel less isolated and gain multiple perspectives, ideas, and reflections from others on similar paths. Many participants also find accountability and deep belonging in a group setting. If you’re unsure, you can schedule a free 30-minute call to discuss your needs.

        • Yes. Research shows that support groups can be a powerful part of recovery. They help reduce isolation, normalize your experiences, and offer connection with others who truly understand.

        • Feeling nervous is completely normal. Many participants share that they felt anxious at first but quickly discovered how supportive the group is. You’re never pressured to share; listening is always a valuable way to participate.

        • No, sessions are never recorded. Everything shared in the group is confidential, and we uphold clear group agreements to ensure everyone’s privacy. These agreements are shared at the beginning of calls.

        • These circles are for those who actively choose recovery for themselves. If you’re currently in inpatient or intensive outpatient treatment, this group may not provide the level of care you need as standalone support.

      “Finding this group has been such a gift in my recovery.”

      “Francesca creates one of the safest and most genuine spaces I've ever experienced. It's a small, intimate group where I've never felt judged, pressured to share, or expected to be anywhere other than where I am. She has a beautiful way of holding space with so much gentleness, compassion, and presence that it becomes easier to open up when you're ready.


      What I appreciate most is that this isn't a cookie cutter support group. It's a place where you can bring what you're actually navigating in your everyday life, and if you need support, Francesca helps you gently work through it with so much compassion and care. Her somatic practices and meditations are soft, kind, and grounding, and they've helped me become more connected with myself while also feeling deeply supported by others.”

      “The people in the group are incredibly sweet, caring, and welcoming. Over time, it becomes so much more than just a support group. It becomes a place of real connection, healing, and growth. There is something deeply powerful about being witnessed by others who truly understand, without trying to fix or change you.


      I also love that everyone is welcome here. Whatever you're carrying, whatever you're struggling with, there is space for you. I've never felt like I had to be anything other than myself.
      I am so grateful for Francesca, for this beautiful community, and for the safe place they've created. If you're looking for a gentle place to land where you can be seen, supported, and reconnect with yourself while healing alongside others, I can't recommend this group enough.”
