It’s nice to meet you. I’m Jessica Flanigan Brown. My professional practice is as an eating disorder coach specializing in self-compassion. As a Self-Compassion teacher and clinical nutritionist, I’ve helped thousands of people heal — physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. My work, experiences, and learnings inspired The Loving Diet, a mind-body book supporting those with autoimmune disease, and will serve as the foundation of our journey here together. I’ve been practicing clinical nutrition for 25 years and have added Self-Compassion to my clinical work in the last eight years. I am a trained facilitator and guide to heart-centered self-compassion for eating disorders, reparenting, and core belief work. I am the creator of Transformational Eating, an evidence-based 6-week skills course that uses self-compassion to heal disordered and emotional eating. 

My professional interests include disordered and emotional eating at midlife, using self-compassion for chronic illness relapse and orthorexia, and novel gut restoration for IBD and IBS. 

I recently graduated from Stanford University School of Medicine’s CCARE Applied Compassion Training program. I live in Northern Californian with my husband and our four daughters. 

I offer various functional test options, and advanced gut restoration approaches in my clinical work, along with my Self-Compassion for Disordered Eating online classes and individual coaching.

Fun facts; I’m a Human Design Manifesting Generator, Capricorn, and 1w2 Enneagram. I’m also an identical twin and a longtime meditator. My favorite movies are Contact and Interstellar.
