Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

Like most dietitians, I used to think nutrition was all about “eating less” and “eating right.” I believed what I was taught about weight and health being one and the same. But as I started working with clients, I quickly realized this approach wasn’t helping and was in fact causing harm. I saw how the focus on weight and rigid diet rules turned something that should be a simple act of self care into an anxiety and shame-filled chore For the past 8 years I have been practicing from a weight-inclusive lens. Over these 8 years, I have received extensive training in HAES-aligned approaches, including becoming a certified intuitive eating counselor, attending various HAES-aligned conferences, countless seminars led by fat activists and fat practitioners, and individual supervision. Most of all, I’ve learned through my work with fat clients through listening to them and their experiences.
