About siah

Siah Fried is a clinical health educator, nationally board-certified health and wellness coach, certified parent coach, and former college professor with over three decades of experience in health education. With a master’s in public health and deep roots in both clinical practice and academic teaching, Siah brings a unique blend of professional insight and lived experience to the work of eating disorder prevention and recovery.

After generations of eating disorders in her family and watching her own daughter struggle with disordered eating and body dysmorphia, Siah trusted her instincts when medical professionals missed the signs—and built the support her daughter truly needed. That journey inspired her to create Move FORWARD, a 7-step coaching program that empowers parents to raise intuitive eaters and body-confident kids in a weight-obsessed world.

Siah is the author of two parenting books and a sought-after speaker who turns complex topics into practical, compassionate tools for families. Her message is clear: Parents are powerful, and their intuition is a clinical tool.
