About
About Cosana Coaching
Cosana comes from the joining of two latin words— "co" meaning "together" and "sana" meaning "healthy, whole, and healing." Cosana describes our belief that we can access greater health and healing together.
Our peer support coaches are professionally trained to empower and support clients in healing their relationship with food, body, and Self.
As experts in eating disorder recovery and psycho-spiritual wellness, we reject the idea of a "one-size fits all" approach to health. Health looks and feels different for everyone. No two pathways are the same, and we celebrate them all. Our coaches are trained to honor the nuanced and intimate nature of every client's relationship with food, body, and Self, and help the client to do the same.
We offer:
- Eating Disorder Recovery Coaching
- Chakra Yoga Energy Healing
- Surf Lessons
- Sober Curious Events

What Does Recovery Look Like?
I do not diet,
nor restrict.
I am allowed to eat whatever I please.
I do not weigh myself,
or punish myself,
or have to “earn” the meals I eat.
I don't panic when I get too full,
nor do I care about calories.
My decisions are clear
and free from fear.
With my health, I feel trustworthy.
I do not abide by food rules.
I don't need guidelines to keep me safe.
I trust my gut
to know what
my being will appreciate.
If I eat cake for breakfast,
I do not feel guilt,
or shame.
My body is invited to change as I grow,
I am free from the pressure to stay the same.
