Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

I was introduced to the principles of Health at Every Size® from the very start of my career back in 2005. The framework affirmed important aspects of my own lived experience and seemed like the only sane way for me to carry out my career as a nutrition professional. It is also why most of my career has been spent as a self-employed entrepreneur where I have the autonomy to fully practice in alignment with my values. I have evolved tremendously over the nearly 20 years as a weight inclusive provider. What began as non-weight focused nutrition counseling has deepened into an understanding and active participation in social justice and activism. I have had extensive training in trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Cultural Theory (RCT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), anti-oppressive practice frameworks and am committed to unlearning my own internalized white supremacy. I see my learning as ongoing and never finished. I currently own a group nutrition counseling practice based in Cambridge, MA and online. We specialize in the treatment of eating disorders. Additionally, I have an online training platform to train clinicians in the art and science of eating disorders counseling and body image work. In 2016 I joined the Simmons University nutrition department to co-develop a specialized eating disorder internship and teach graduate level courses rooted in HAES® principles.
