My name is Michaela Williams, and I am the founder of Body Love & Beyond. I create content to motivate, challenge, and inspire others to become the most fulfilled versions of themselves. My passion for inclusive media representation and self-awareness began when I developed a horrendous eating disorder at the early age of 10. After a tumultuous five year cycle across several diagnoses, I landed in residential treatment. As I moved through levels of care, I discovered I had been lied to and manipulated all my life. Who told me I wasn't good enough? Who made the rules? I needed to unlearn a whole narrative of self hate and body dissatisfaction. I became angry. I became sad. I became determined.
 
I became the change I wish to see.
 
I began my professional career as a residential treatment center recovery coach, working with clients across all diagnoses and demographics. After completing my Master of Public Administration with an emphasis in Health Care degree, I became the Program Manager of Monte Nido & Affiliates in Malibu, CA. In this role, I learned how to craft personalized treatment plans, work with top professionals across the industry, organize meal exposures, redirect eating disorder behaviors, provide emotional support, and coordinate ongoing care.

As an independent recovery coach, I offer the quality and experience of a traditional treatment facility with the flexibility and adaptability of an individual approach. I bring the best of current eating disorder care to my practice with the expertise to guide you along in your own recovery journey. I have seen recovery work for myself, I have seen it work for others-

Now let's see it work for you.
