Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

Care should be accessible to all, and is not one-size-fits-all! Everyone comes to therapy with a different background and experience. Understanding that approaches to treatment need to be handled with sensitivity and consideration of those experiences is my main priority. My approach to health is understanding one's goals and priorities, and providing education to allow them to make the best decisions for themself and their body. I do not help clients lose weight, but instead try to show them that they can make peace with their bodies and that health comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, and abilities! I believe the healthcare system is unjust and does not care for marginalized communities. Because of that, I use a social justice framework to support clients in advocating for themselves and their needs with their health, as well as reflecting on how I can make my practice and business accessible to as many people as possible, not just those that can afford it. Being a health at every size provider means spreading awareness to my clients that they have options and do not need to buy into the elitist system that tells them their body is wrong and health needs to look a certain way. It means providing opportunities to clients to see a different future and advocating for their needs with other providers, going to other appointments with them or talking to providers on their behalf to ensure safe environments for them to seek medical care and treatment.
