Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

My approach is collaborative, relational, trauma informed, and human. I draw on my own history/faith departure from Christianity and seminary education for spiritual matters. I am HAES aligned (Health at Every Size) and offer an anti-diet, weight inclusive based approach to clients working to confront disordered eating or negative body image.As a painter and artist, I draw on my experience of presence over product and seeing the world through a creative and curious lens. As a gardener, I draw on my experience of permaculture and tuning into environmental variables that allow one to thrive given the right conditions. As someone who deals with chronic pain, I draw on my own relationship with my body, her strength and limitations. I strive to promote an atmosphere of respect, curiosity and humility; to offer a space that is anti-oppressive and attuned to political, economic, and socio-cultural inequalities and injustice inherent in the systems we operate. I offer inclusive based care regardless of size, gender, sex, race, ethnicity, ability, or religion. I see folks who feel like a stranger within their body, mind, and spirit. This may be due to loss of faith (deconstruction), identity loss, grief, existential questions, relational issues, chronic self neglect, disordered eating, neurodiversity, burnout, chronic pain, lack of artistic motivation and trauma. These folks are hungering to be more attuned and embodied, to have a felt sense of what it means to be here in love.
