Nutrition Therapy
Are you looking to heal your relationship with food or body image? Tired of dieting? Feeling overwhelmed or preoccupied with thoughts around food or exercise? Nutrition shouldn’t be complicated. If you’re feeling as though it is, we’re here to help. Our team of experienced Registered Dietitians and health professionals take a non-diet approach to nutrition aligning with the principles of Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating. Using trauma-informed, inclusive, and culturally-competent care, we will work with you to:
- Discover joy in eating
- Improve body image and self-esteem
- Connect with your body and engage in mindful movement
- Navigate nutrition information
- Break free from diet culture
Our Registered Dietitians and health professionals work with a variety of clients ranging across the lifespan. Whether you are recovering from an eating disorder, an athlete trying to improve performance, a parent or guardian of a child with an eating disorder, or seeking nutrition education for a particular medical condition such as diabetes or gastrointestinal disorders, we’re here to support you.
We tailor your individual needs based on the understanding that everyone has different nutritional needs and goals. Whether it be sports nutrition, gastrointestinal issues, disordered eating, diabetes, or other medical issues – our team of experienced Registered Dietitians can help formulate the right plan that fits you.
Our Nutrition Therapy services address client’s specific physical and emotional needs, behaviors, and symptoms through:
- Promoting a non-diet approach and intuitive eating for long-term recovery
- Exploring the deeper connection between food and feelings, and the underlying issues behind choosing to use food for emotional support, repressing feelings or self-harming behaviors
- Developing a new way of eating, separating food and feelings, and changing one’s relationship with food
- Reconnecting with the body and identifying hunger cues versus emotional eating triggers
- Learning to implement mindful eating techniques, listen to the body, and develop a more positive connection with food
