Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

My philosophy of care is trauma-informed, HAES-aligned, gender- and weight-inclusive pelvic floor physical therapy that centers patient autonomy, collaboration, and respect for lived experience. I view health as multifactorial and non-linear, and I do not equate body size with health. Instead, I focus on function, comfort, access to movement, and each patient’s personal goals for their body and quality of life. Being a Health at Every Size® provider means actively challenging weight stigma in healthcare and creating a space where patients are not pathologized based on body size. I apply HAES principles through weight-neutral language, avoiding rigid or prescriptive exercise models, and emphasizing sustainable, individualized movement that supports healing rather than appearance-based or compliance-driven goals. I also provide education on body size, health, and systemic bias to support informed, autonomous decision-making. I specialize in working with individuals with a current or past eating disorder(s) and those experiencing body dysmorphia or anxiety around movement. My lived experience with an eating disorder, combined with specialized training, informs my understanding of these challenges. This is reflected in my practice through inclusive equipment and furniture, covered mirrors in gym spaces, avoidance of rigid exercise prescriptions, and collaboration with patients’ broader treatment teams to support integrated, affirming care.
