Alexa and Michelle Doerr - Mother Daughter Conquering an Eating Disorder

Alexa grew up dreaming of writing a novel someday, but never imagined her first book would be part of her personal life journey. Her debut novel, Grapevine: A Mother and Daughter’s Tangled Journey Through an Eating Disorder shares a raw and real glimpse into how an eating disorder can impact the individual as well as the family system. Alexa has bachelor’s degrees in psychology and anthrozoology, and she currently serves as a Referral Coordinator with a national eating disorder treatment provider. Alexa is passionate about eating disorder awareness and prevention as well as sharing the power of the human-animal bond. Alexa and her husband live in rural Minnesota with their two spunky pups.

Navigating her son’s autism spectrum disorder and her daughter’s eating disorder, showcased in her debut novel, Grapevine: A Mother and Daughter’s Tangled Journey Through an Eating Disorder, led her to explore the principles of Individual Psychology. Michelle completed the InnerMBA and holds certificates in Advanced Adlerian Psychology, Wellness Coaching, Advanced EcoTherapy, Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga, Trauma-informed Leadership and Executive Leadership.
