Our Values
Our practice strives to be a warm and welcoming space for all. We are an affirming practice, enthusiastically serving clients of all sizes, genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and religions.
​
We are rooted in the non-diet approach to nutrition. We believe that health is about so much more than just the food you eat. Nutrition and health are deeply influenced by access, resources, and individual experiences with oppression.
​
We reject the notion that health is achieved through weight loss or a specific style of eating. We recognize the harm that comes from these assumptions and the pressure they place on individuals. Instead, we support each person in discovering what works best for their body.
​
We honor and listen to the context of each person’s life experiences, health concerns, and unique relationship with food.
Mission
Our mission is to provide compassionate nutrition care to individuals healing their relationship with food. We are proud to be one part of the larger movement to reject diet culture and embrace body diversity.
Nutrition Philosophy
There are a few core themes that guide the way we approach nutrition care in our practice.
​
We believe:
-
The most important thing when it comes to nutrition is eating enough (you’ll hear us say this often!).
-
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition.
-
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to eating disorder recovery.
-
All foods have value.
-
Eating behaviors are not “good” or “bad.” Instead of labeling them, we get curious—what might these experiences be telling us about your relationship with food and your body?
-
Your body holds wisdom about when, what, and how much to eat.
