BALANCE WAS FOUNDED BY MELAINIE ROGERS
Melainie Rogers, MS, RDN, CDN, CEDRD-S is the Founder and CEO of BALANCE eating disorder treatment center™, melainie rogers nutrition, llc & Redefining Wellness.
Having struggled with an eating disorder herself, she fully understands the complexities of the recovery journey and is now dedicated to supporting others in their quest to achieve long-term recovery as she has. She is a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian (CEDRD) & Supervisor and an official mentor through iaedp’s (International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals) Connection, Outreach, and Mentoring Committee. As a mentor, Melainie uses her vast experience to provide guidance to clinicians new to the field of eating disorders.
“When I compare what my life was like pre and post recovery, it’s jarring. I wouldn’t have the elements of richness in my life if I still had an eating disorder. Think about the life you would like and understand that may be impossible to achieve with an eating disorder.”
– Melainie Rogers
