Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

My work is firmly and unapologetically rooted in a HAES®, fat liberation, anti-oppressive framework as I believe recovery is only possible when the entirety of a human is honored and the body is trusted. I landed in a HAES® framework early in my career before it was popular, as it was the only approach that resounded with my spirit and my belief that the body is a wise & good guide. I could actually sleep at night treating from a HAES® perspective. I believe the body will be where it is meant to be and that this place it lands is also meant to flex and change throughout a lifespan. Working from a fat liberation framework is also anti-capitalistic and anti-racist, which I believe is imperative as our field focuses on dismantling white supremacy and the tethers it has in patriarchy & misogyny. I work closely with folks who have been in harmful church contexts in which their bodies and relationship with food has been robbed of intuition and connection. We work to reclaim their body autonomy and break free from spiritually traumatizing narratives around food, weight, and their bodies. I have also fallen in love with working with ED clinicians who themselves are doing the brave work of recovery. I also find so much joy in accompanying other dietitians in a supervision or supportive role as they find their unique way of practicing and working to bring healing to our world. I can't believe I get to do this work. It's been my heart & soul for over 20 years!
