Christie Dondero Bettwy

For more than a decade, Christie Dondero Bettwy has led Rock Recovery as Executive Director, bringing both deep clinical expertise and lived experience to everything she does. Her personal recovery journey and commitment to accessible care shine through in her everyday leadership.

Eating disorders and mental health struggles often live beneath the surface. So many individuals—teens, young adults, parents, and community members—carry silent burdens of body image distress, disordered eating, perfectionism, and shame. Too often, stigma and misunderstanding prevent people from seeking support.

Christie speaks directly into these realities with compassion, honesty, and hope. Through talks and presentations, she helps communities better understand eating disorders, challenge harmful diet culture, and create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to pursue healing.

Whether speaking to schools, faith communities, universities, or local organizations, Christie’s goal is always the same: to dismantle stigma, promote awareness, and remind others that recovery is possible—and no one has to walk the journey alone.

Presentation topics include:

Creating Healthy Habits for a Flexible Work Routine

Surviving or Thriving? How to Invest in Your Mental and Physical Health at Work
