My Philosophy of Care
Anti-diet (or non-diet) health & fitness coaching. I don't work with intentional weight loss to "improve" health. I use weight-inclusive, fat-positive, Health At Every Size®, and intuitive eating practices while coaching clients. I don't advocate for weight-loss goals, restricting foods, or "fad" diets. Your worth is not wrapped up in your body size. Weight loss isn't "on the back burner" with me because all my work is weight neutral. We can work to improve your health, strength, flexibility, and mobility without changing your body size or weight. Working with me will help you reconnect with your body. Together we will work to repair your relationship with food and movement. Enjoy eating and moving again!
About Me & My Practice
I'm Abigail Ladd, a health coach, fitness trainer, yoga teacher, and fat lady! I have been working in fitness spaces most of my life. I got my start at 19 as a lifeguard and swim instructor before becoming a group fitness instructor, yoga teacher, and personal trainer.
My relationship with fitness hasn't always been a healthy one. I struggled with an eating disorder for most of my life and sadly that created a disordered relationship with movement.
In recovery, I not only had to heal my relationship with food, but I also had to rediscover a healthy relationship with movement, which is no easy task in our fitness culture of "no pain, no gain." It was a slow and intentional process. It involved a lot of self-compassion, permission, and an anti-diet & Health at Every Size® approach.
It is now my life's mission to help others make sustainable changes to their life while healing their relationship with food and movement.
I want to reduce barriers to access and make fitness spaces more inclusive, welcoming, and completely shame-free!
You deserve access to high-quality health and fitness instruction!
