We specialize in helping individuals recover from eating disorders, disordered eating, and the backlash of chronic dieting. As eating disorder experts and Food and Body Image Healers® we work in partnership with our clients to tap into their inner wisdom and strength to discover a pattern of eating and moving that supports their unique mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Our approach is highly individualized and rooted in developing a strong relationship with everyone we have the pleasure of working alongside. We blend expertise in nutrition and psychology to fuel lasting transformation. Despite the seriousness of our work, there is a remarkable amount of laughter in our sessions and smiles on our faces because we love what we do. According to a recent anonymous survey of our clients, we are most often described as compassionate, non-judgmental, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
We are committed to an anti-oppression and social justice framework. While we acknowledge that each of us holds a great deal of privilege, we strive to support our clients who hold identities that have historically been oppressed or marginalized. We stand in support of our BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, fat, disabled clients and colleagues. Please read Marci’s Commitment to Anti-Oppression Practice to learn more.
Philosophy
- We believe that people inherently possess the wisdom and strength to make powerful changes in their lives.
- We believe in a body positive and weight inclusive approach that focuses on behaviors, not weight or numbers, as a key to lasting health
- We believe that everyone deserves a life that is free of body and food obsession
- We believe that food and body image healing are critical components to creating a full and vibrant life
- We believe that external forces like structural racism, transphobia, and fat phobia contribute to a culture where all bodies are not safe and valued. This is one of many reasons that the process and meaning of recovery is unique
