She currently works with children and adolescents with eating disorders, disordered eating and selective eating.

My Toddler Is Not Eating: A 30-Day Plan To Get Your Picky Eater To Enjoy New Food."In her spare time, Elizabeth enjoys eating well (although as a non-taster struggles to cook without a recipe) and looking after her three pet alpacas, one of whom is a fussy eater who needs to see new foods many times before he tries any and becomes quite anxious when presented with new food.
