What We Believe In

All foods fit

The All Foods Fit philosophy means exactly that – all foods fit when it comes to nutrition. The goal is to eat in a way that supports your body, mind, and your tastes without external influences (diet culture, friends or family, the eating disorder, etc.). There are no “good” or “bad” foods here – this is a judgment-free zone! Foods are enjoyed by listening to what you and your body are craving and honoring your body signals. After all, nutrition is about so much more than just getting in nutrients and fueling our bodies! It’s also about satisfaction, enjoyment, socialization, and celebration…and all that stuff is pretty dang important too, right?

health at every size®

Health At Every Size® (HAES) is an evidence-based approach that supports people of all sizes in adopting healthy behaviors that lead to improvements in overall health. It’s an inclusive social justice movement that aims to respect and honor body diversity as well as cultivate compassionate self-care. It’s not possible to assess someone’s health based on their weight, and our body shape & size is largely out of our control. As a HAES dietitian, I don’t focus on weight and instead focus on behavior changes that lead to improvements in mental & physical health.

intuitive eating

Intuitive Eating is a weight-inclusive and evidence-based health approach that incorporates mind & body. It’s not a diet nor a meal plan, nor is it simply “eating when you’re hungry and stopping when you’re full.” Instead, it includes 10 principles that cultivate or remove barriers to body signals and awareness. Intuitive Eating helps empower us to free ourselves from food rules, diet culture, and obsessing over the number on the scale.

weight inclusivity

All body sizes & shapes are welcomed, respected, valued, and celebrated! Bodies were meant to come in all shapes and sizes, & you are so much more than just a body and a number on the scale. We shift the focus towards health-related behaviors that we actually can change (like getting enough sleep, decreasing stress, finding ways to engage in joyful movement, just to name a few).


Financial Assistance

Proud members of the HEALers Circle!

It’s unfortunately a privilege to be able to afford highly-specialized, patient-centered, compassionate eating disorder treatment. For this reason, we have partnered with Project HEAL to help us provide financial assistance to those who need it most in order to access the care that they need.

office vibes

a cozy, healing space

We hope you love our cozy, healing office as much as we do! It’s no surprise to us as dietitians working in the eating disorder space that we are often the last person someone with an eating disorder (ED) feels safe with. After all, our work revolves around constantly challenging the eating disorder, and ED doesn’t exactly love that journey. We have built a space that we hope you find calming, cozy, & healing – a space where you can come and feel free to be your authentic self (and yes, we totally have snacks for you!).

Dieting is a life suck, oftentimes without us know Dieting is a life suck, oftentimes without us knowing it's even happening. Have you ever thought about ways that dieting or disordered eating has affected your life beyond just food? 
.
If you feel open to exploring this further, here are some questions that may be helpful:
👉 How does your relationship with food impact your decision about going out with friends for a fun night out?
👉 Do you ever find yourself choosing not to spend time with people you care about because you're not comfortable with the food options (or you don't know what they are in advance)?
👉 How much time do you spend each day calculating calories or macros in order to plan out what you are "allowed" to eat that day? How might this affect your life? Or the lives of those around you (partner, kids, friends, etc.)?
👉 If you were able to get that time back, what would you do with it? Would you spend it the same way?
👉 Does how you feel about your body ever change from day-to-day or even multiple times a day? If so, why might this be?
👉 Is it possible that you may still not be content or fulfilled in a smaller body? Have you ever met a person in a smaller body who wasn't satisfied with their body?
👉 When you are 100 years old on your death bed, what experiences, relationships, or adventures would bring you a sense of peace, fulfillment, joy, & meaning? What are the things that would make you able to say in that moment, "I couldn't have asked for more...it was everything I hoped it would be"?
.
Dieting & disordered eating robs you of so much more than just "missing out on foods" you enjoy. ⛔
.
Instead, disordered eating steals your sense of agency; robs you of precious time with those you love that you can never get back; leaves you feeling like a "failure"; tells you the lie that your health is largely determined by your body size and what you eat; convinces you that you cannot be enough unless you take up less space. Dieting may not end up making your body smaller, but it will make your life MUCH smaller😢.
