Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

I've been doing this work for a while now - nearly fifteen years. Prior to this, I worked in victim support services and charitable therapeutic services. I have valued seasons cooking for a service for our local insecurely housed community, and running a local sling meet and national sling library for some years. My work focuses on walking with those who want to heal their relationship with food and body. Often, these people have experienced weight stigma, or faced the trauma of oppression. My work is concerned with being in community with clients as they deepen their tolerance of what it is to be deeply human. Unfinished, work in progress, wild and playful. My work is politicized, and we take time not just to consider your individual experience, but also how that is shaped and influenced by systems and structures. My work seeks to be actively anti-oppressive, and I centre marginalised voices in my ongoing education and training. My own positionality as a fat person who has healed from an eating disorder gives me vital lived experience - I know what it's like to seek to say whole in a world that wants you to stay in pieces. I think your body is wise. I think your body is trustworthy, and brave, and holy, and tenacious, and playful. I think your body holds answers. I think your body wants to be in community with you. I write a Substack called Fat Bubble where you can read more of my work, and use Instagram an an opportunity to develop community and advocacy.
