Where clinical training meets belonging, embodiment, and brave, joyful resistance.
You’ve taken the CEUs. You’ve studied the protocols. But something still feels off.
You want to support clients with eating disorders in a way that aligns with your values.
You’re craving a training that is as relational as it is clinically robust.
You want tools that actually work and a framework that doesn’t compromise your integrity.
You’re not alone.
We’ve trained hundreds of clinicians across disciplines using our signature C.A.R.E.™ Framework- an approach shaped by unlearning, reclamation, and a deep belief in relationship as the site of healing.
Our training is designed to feel like a breath, not a burden.
A return, not just to the work, but to yourself.
A clinical training for providers ready to unlearn harm and offer healing that liberates.
More than just a course or a model, this is a movement and a call to practice differently.
Grounded in relational neuroscience and collective liberation, this training teaches you how to support clients with eating disorders without replicating the systems that caused the harm.
You’ll learn our original C.A.R.E.™ framework, Collective Attunement + Radical Embodiment, a clinical orientation designed to help you show up with clarity, confidence, and connection.
But more than that?
You’ll be held in a learning space that feels like community, not a classroom. Together, we move at a pace that honors the nervous system, not the grind. You’ll reflect deeply, practice bravely, and unlearn with others who are also reclaiming their clinical voice. This is where clinical skill meets ethical clarity, where embodied presence fuels advocacy, and where relational courage is nurtured through collective wisdom. In connection, the learning sinks in deeper and the work becomes more possible, more sustainable, and more true.
C.A.R.E.™ = Collective Attunement + Radical Embodiment
Created by Ample + Rooted, the C.A.R.E.™ Framework is our justice-rooted, trauma-responsive model for inclusive and anti-oppressive eating disorder healing.
A liberatory roadmap and clinical foundation, it helps you:
Eating disorders do not happen in isolation. Neither should healing. Explore the sociopolitical roots of body shame, hunger, and harm.
→ Treat clients in context - not in a vacuum
→ Unlearn surveillance-based care
→ Name what traditional models erase
Attunement is the muscle of liberation and a practice of embodied presence.
→ Conduct affirming, trauma-responsive assessments
→ Practice relational ethics, not extractive neutrality
→ Stay regulated through rupture + repair
“Radical” means rooted; in justice, truth, and the body’s inherent worth.
→ Work with shame, trauma, and dissociation without coercion
→ Support body image, pleasure, and autonomy
→ Navigate medical and cultural harm with skill and care
Embodiment is both a return and a resistance.
→ Hold diagnostic complexity and co-occurrence
→ Integrate somatic, narrative, group, and psychedelic-informed tools
→ Resource yourself and your clients to stay in relationship with what’s hard
✔ Disrupts harm within traditional eating disorder treatment models
✔ A roadmap for eating disorder care that is relational, liberatory, and clinically sound
✔ Tools to name and interrupt harm both inside and outside the treatment room
✔ Practice rooted in liberation not perfectionism, pathology, or fear
✔ A return to yourself as a clinician, human, and body among bodies

This training is co-led by Neathery Falchuk (they/them), founder of Ample + Rooted and creator of the C.A.R.E.™ Framework, and Al Clifton (they/them), our Programs Director. Together, they bring decades of clinical experience, a mountain of heart, and a teaching style that’s deeply relational, refreshingly real, and consistently named by alumni as one of the most transformative parts of the program. This training is taught by people who live what they teach and who know what it means to build care in bodies that systems try to erase.
You won’t find performative neutrality or dry slideshows here. What you will find is:
You’ll learn skills, yes. But more than that, you’ll remember who you are in this work and why you started in the first place.
Understanding the Roots of Disordered Eating
Eating disorders do not arise in isolation; they emerge from and are shaped by intersecting systems of harm. This pillar contextualizes EDs within systemic, historical, and structural frameworks, preparing clinicians to treat the individual without separating them from their world.

> Exploring medical consequences, complications, and systemic disparities in access
> Common co-occurring conditions (MCAS, POTS, EDS, diabetes, PCOS) and their impact on nourishment, symptoms, and care planning

> Developing a liberatory lens for how we name, assess, and respond to eating concerns
