In-Person Meal Support Group
The Saturday Table
Saturdays, 11:30 AM–12:30 PM
Beginning September 19, 2026
Eating can be hard to practice alone. The Saturday Table is an intimate, supportive meal experience where you can eat alongside others with guidance and co-regulation from a Registered Dietitian.
We'll create a calm, predictable environment where you can practice the parts of eating that can feel difficult: from deciding what to eat and getting food on your plate to sitting down, eating, and having food in your body. We'll draw on nutrition support, grounding, and regulation strategies to help you stay with the experience of eating.
The goal isn't to eat perfectly or to perform recovery. It's to have an opportunity to practice nourishment with support and community.
We’ll focus on:
Creating a supportive environment for practicing meal goals and recovery skills
Using grounding and regulation strategies before, during, and after meals
Exploring what helps you feel more supported and present while eating
Building capacity for meal planning, preparation, and the experience of eating
Supporting adequate and consistent nourishment as part of eating disorder recovery
Practicing flexibility and responding to the physical and emotional experience of eating
Fostering connection and community with others who understand the challenges of eating disorder recovery
Rebuilding trust with food and developing a more peaceful relationship with eating
Cost & Participation
The Saturday Table is a complimentary offering for current On the Brink Nutrition clients.
Community participants are welcome to join on a pay-what-you-can basis, with a suggested contribution of $10–25 per session. Cost is intentionally kept low so that it doesn't become a barrier to accessing meal support.
The group is intentionally intimate, with limited seating available.
Who is The Saturday Table for?
The Saturday Table is for people who are working toward recovery from an eating disorder and would benefit from practicing meals with supportive company.
You might find meal support helpful if eating alone feels difficult, you have trouble getting started with meals, anxiety makes it hard to stay with a meal, or you want an opportunity to practice recovery skills outside of individual sessions.

What to Bring
Bring your own meal. You are welcome to bring whatever food feels appropriate for you to practice eating in this setting.
The On the Brink kitchen is available for simple meal support and preparation, with a microwave, sink, and refrigerator/freezer available for participants to use during the session.
What to Expect
We'll begin by settling in and connecting before the meal. During the meal, I'll provide gentle support and help you draw on strategies that support regulation, nourishment, and staying present with the experience of eating.
Afterward, we'll have some time to notice what you experienced and practice whatever support may be useful as you transition back into your day.
This is meal support, not group therapy. You don't need to share personal information or talk about your eating disorder. You are welcome to participate at the level that feels right for you.
Important Note: The Saturday Table is an adjunct to eating disorder treatment and does not replace individual nutrition counseling, therapy, medical care, or other components of a comprehensive treatment team.
