“Making peace with your body is your mighty act of revolution. It is your contribution to a changed planet where we might all live unapologetically in the bodies we have.” - Sonya Renee Taylor

How I can help

I practice from a harm reduction, anti-diet, Health At Every Size (HAES), and fat liberation lens. Years of dieting forces us to ignore the cues our body is trying to give us. You’re not hungry, eat a handful of almonds kinda bullshit. Utilizing the principles of intuitive eating I can help you learn to honor your hunger, make peace with food, and cope with your emotions with kindness. Tending to the parts of you that want a smaller body or restrict or binge. As a fat therapist I bring in a sense of deep compassion and empathy for my clients who have been at war with their bodies for far too long.
