Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

Being a Health at Every Size® dietitian is important to me because it's a model that aligns most closely with my personal and professional values and ethics.

To me, being a Health at Every Size® provider means deliberately making space for — and affirming — fat bodies as they are, *without a size limit.* It means rejecting the pathologization of body size, celebrating size diversity, and refraining from colluding with weight stigma, because there is too much evidence that doing so causes harm (to all bodies). It means practicing allyship in the fat liberation movement and raising marginalized voices. It means continuously checking my thin privilege, unpacking my internalized anti-fat bias, acknowledging my blind spots and owning my (inevitable) mistakes after I’ve become aware of them, and then trying to do better next time. It means seeking to make my practice approach and culture as inclusive and as safe as possible for all bodies, including the most marginalized bodies.

As a Health at Every Size® provider, I also deeply value client autonomy. I seek to create a respectful, non-judgmental space for my client's to reflect on concerns related to nourishment and weight (when relevant), to provide evidenced based nutrition information (with consent), and to empower my clients in making informed decisions about their bodies .
