Hi, I'm Siah Fried

I help families recognize and overcome problematic eating behaviors and body image challenges.

As a Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I bring over 30 years of experience in public health, including 17 years as a health and nutrition professor and 4 years as a high school health teacher. My passion for supporting individuals with eating disorders comes from both professional expertise and personal experience—having witnessed the profound impact of eating disorders on many of my loved ones. Whether you’re concerned about your child’s eating habits or they’ve been diagnosed with disordered eating, ARFID, body dysmorphia, anorexia, or bulimia, I’m here to guide and support you as a parent through this challenging time

I understand firsthand what is truly helpful in fostering healing and what can unintentionally cause harm. That’s why I specialize in supporting parents—both those who have struggled with an eating disorder themselves and those guiding their child through similar challenges.

Eating disorders often stem from generational patterns, but the cycle can stop with you. If you’re ready to create a healthier future for yourself and your family, I invite you to schedule a free call to explore how we can work together.

Coaching Benefit

Let’s turn your challenges into opportunities for growth and connection. Start your journey today! My 6 step program, FORWARD is a 6 step program that gives parents the tools, confidence, and support to help their child heal. You will move from fear and confusion to clarity, connection, and hope—with a clear path forward.

How I Support You

Many of us grew up with food and body image messages we don’t want to pass down to our children—but breaking these generational patterns can be challenging. That’s where I come in.

I provide personalized guidance to help you recognize and address early signs of eating disorders or body dysmorphia in your family. Through practical, evidence-based strategies, we’ll create a positive food environment, foster a healthy relationship with eating, and build confidence in your child’s body image—so that food, body image, and mealtimes become natural, stress-free conversations in your home.

I specialize in guiding clients through my 6-step Move FORWARD program. This approach strengthens resilience, promotes positive coping strategies, and enhances essential habits like nutrition, sleep, and stress management, helping your family move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

Here is what you will gain from working with me: 

✅ A clear understanding of what’s happening—and what to do next
✅ Communicate with your child without causing more stress
✅ Regulate your emotions so you can show up calm and steady
✅ Coordinate your child’s care team (therapists, doctors, schools)
✅ Learn what to say (and not to say) around food and body image
✅ Ability to recognize  unhealthy generational patterns
✅ Rebuild trust and connection with your child

Q: What is a parent coach?

A parent coach supports parents in building effective parenting skills, enhancing family dynamics, and handling challenges in raising children.

Through evidence-based strategies, they assist with discipline, communication, emotional regulation, and mental health. Instead of offering direct solutions, parent coaches work alongside parents to strengthen their approach, boost confidence, and create a nurturing environment for their children.

Q: What is a health coach?

Health and well-being coaches empower clients to improve their health by helping them set and achieve goals using evidence-based strategies.

Health coaching, proven effective in clinical trials, is most credible when the coach holds an NBC-HWC certification. I have my NBC-HWC and a Master’s in Public Health. I’m also a certified parent coach through the Jai Institute of Parenting.

Q: What is the difference between a health/parent coach and a therapist?

Therapists explore emotions by examining the past to understand their origins, while coaches help clients acknowledge emotions and develop coping strategies. Therapists diagnose and guide, whereas coaches work collaboratively with clients to identify challenges and achieve goals.

Coaching focuses on action and change, aiming to boost self-awareness and bridge the gap between current reality and potential, while counseling is more reparative.

Celebrate the struggle. Build resilience. Create a healthier, more balanced lifestyle through Siah Fried Coach™ parent and health coaching.
