Meet Elisha Tompkins
Y4ED Community Member, Elisha Tompkins
Meet our Featured Community Member, Elisha Tompkins. Here's what she has to say about the power of community in her recovery:
“I want to say how much I appreciate Yoga for Eating Disorders (Y4ED) and how it has helped me on my ED road of recovery. I have had an eating disorder since I was 12 and am now 56. An easy life with food and body dysmorphia is something I do not know.
I cannot recall how I came about finding Jennifer and Y4ED online, but I stumbled across it on Facebook and was beyond excited! I am a therapeutic yoga teacher, and my dream job is to teach yoga to those suffering and in recovery from eating disorders.
The six-week Yoga for Eating Disorders Course was a game changer for me. Even though I have been doing yoga for over 29 years, I learned about my body with ED in a whole new way. Not only that, but the Y4ED Community has been an unending source of knowledge and support on my road to recovery.
I am a firm believer that yoga is a healing modality. Jennifer and Y4ED have solidified that belief. It is a fantastic tool to help those suffering or on their own healing journey. I am forever grateful for this community!”
