Ultimately we want our clients to feel or achieve:

Confidence: by listening, validating, and encouraging body curiosity.

Improved markers of health: which may include biochemical markers (blood work), or physical markers such as energy levels, gastrointestinal function, mental health, or other symptoms.

A better understanding or management of a chronic condition: a holistic approach may include social factors, medication, access to appropriate health care professionals or treatment, nutrition, mental health support, and various therapies. We help clients to understand their condition, identify the role of nutrition, and help them access other support services.

Improved relationship with food and body: moving away from dieting cycles and disordered eating, while making peace with food. We recognize how systemic anti-fat bias make this healing difficult. As such, we continue to advocate against weight discrimination in health care.

Body knowledge: we believe that the individual’s lived experience and knowledge of their body is an important part of assessment, counseling or knowledge-sharing, and planning.
