If you had the opportunity to define yourself, what would freedom and healing look like to you?

That’s what I am interested in.

Could it be:

• On difficult body/eating days, tending to yourself rather than turning on yourself?

• Less shame, less masking, and more permission around what eating and nourished means for you?

• Going on that trip? Being in the pictures?

• Untangling the anti-fat messages to find out what feels real and true for you?

• Finding more community who support and get you?

• Setting boundaries with family, friends, and loved ones when it comes to your body?

• “I seriously don’t know but I know that I want something different than now”

Many of those I work with have faced trauma, shame, and discrimination based on how their bodies exist in the world. In a disordered culture where certain bodies are safer than others and some bodies are targeted more than others- part of our work is acknowledging and honoring how our intersecting identities have contributed to if we even feel safe taking up space, how we feel in our bodies, and how we feed ourselves. This process includes honoring the ways you have learned to take care of yourself within this disordered system.

I love when a client comes into a consultation and says, “I’m just so over IT!” - IT being- always trying the next diet, to shrink their voice, their bodies, their joy, their expression, their permission, themselves- basically trying to contort themselves into systems that were never built for them to begin with. 

Our work creates space for parts of you that have felt too big, too small, or never enough far too long.

Eating disorders and weight stigma are not personal failures—they are symptoms of a disordered society that values thinness over humanity. To be clear - your body is not the problem.
