EVIDENCE-BASED

SOMATIC

TRAUMA-INFORMED

It doesn’t always look like a problem from the outside.

Maybe you’re holding it together. Showing up. Taking care of everyone else. But underneath, there’s a constant hum—thinking about food, your body, what’s “too much,” what’s “not enough.”

Maybe it’s been years. Maybe it’s new. Either way, it’s exhausting.

And at some point, you start to wonder…what would it feel like to be at peace in your own body?

What if your body isn’t the problem,

but part of the solution?

You don’t need more rules or more control.

You need support that helps you reconnect—with your body, your emotions, and your capacity to feel safe in yourself.

You might be here if:

  • You feel deeply—creative, insightful, and sensitive to the world around you

  • You or someone you love is struggling with disordered eating

  • You’re a parent trying to support a child or teen with eating challenges

  • You want recovery without dieting, shame, or rigid rules

  • You’re navigating body changes in midlife, including perimenopause or menopause

  • You’re looking for therapy that honors your nervous system, identity, and lived experience

You’re not too much. And you’re not alone.

A different approach to eating disorder recovery

We don’t believe healing comes from trying to control your body. We believe it comes from learning how to listen to it.

Our work is grounded in a body-centered, integrated approach that addresses trauma, attachment, and the nervous system—not just behaviors on the surface.

We use a multi-faceted model called Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders (ERED)—bringing together neuroscience, somatic work, and trauma-informed care to support lasting, sustainable healing.

What this looks like

in practice:

Somatic (body-centered) work

Your body becomes part of the healing process, rather than an adversary. Through breath, movement, and awareness, you begin to understand and respond to your body’s signals with care instead of fear.

Trauma and attachment-informed therapy

 We gently explore the deeper roots of eating disorders in a way that feels safe, paced, and supportive.

Practical, skills-based support

You’ll learn how to regulate your emotions, navigate overwhelm, and build real-life tools you can use outside of sessions. You deserve healthy coping strategies that actually work for you.

Recovery as an additive process

We’re not here to take things away or “fix” you. We help you build capacity—adding resources, resilience, and self-trust over time.

Weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size® aligned care

We acknowledge the cultural and systemic pressures that shape body image and eating behaviors, and we actively work against those harms.
