Eating Disorder Dietitians in British Columbia
Nourish your body and your worth
We support you to improve your relationship with food so you can live a full and joyful life.
We are compassionate, weight-inclusive dietitians in British Columbia who embrace an anti-oppressive approach and focus on supporting humans through recovery and healing from eating disorders, disordered eating or dieting. We support our clients by creating a safer space for them to tune into their inner wisdom, find compassion for themselves and nourish their bodies. Beyond physical nourishment, we support our clients in nourishing their worth and finding more ease in their lives.
What We Offer
-
We support humans seeking medical nutrition therapy through a weight-inclusive lens for chronic health conditions. This could include a medical diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Type 2 Diabetes, Type 1 Diabetes, Hypertension, Dyslipidemia (high cholesterol or high triglycerides).
-
Intuitive Eating is one of the frameworks that informs our practice. Intuitive Eating is about cultivating a peaceful relationship with food, mind and body - it’s about learning to trust your body again. In practice, Intuitive Eating supports moving away from diet culture, toward your own definition of health, while learning to lean into your body's innate wisdom.
-
In our sessions we talk about much more than just food. Our food relationship does not exist in a vacuum. We recognize there are large systems at play that determine how certain bodies are treated in our society. We invite conversations about the complexities of existing in a body. We work with clients to seek accommodations for how to exist in a world that may not be welcoming their bodies. Your body is not the problem, it is years of body politics that uphold these larger systems at play. We hold space to challenge societal norms that uphold body hierarchy.
-
We support humans in recovery and healing from disordered eating and eating disorders. These experiences exist on a spectrum. Wherever you land on this spectrum, you are likely experiencing disruption in your relationship with food, which can negatively impact your mental and physical well-being. We welcome you as your whole self and meet you exactly where you are at in your experience. Your experience is valid whether you have a diagnosis or not, and we are going to support you no matter what, always.
Common experiences from clients that signal a disruption in your relationship with food

Following strict food rules or rituals
You do not need an eating disorder diagnosis to work with us. We strive to create a safer space free from judgment of body size, shape, colour, sexuality, ethnicity, gender identity, age, cultural background, ability or food choices. This commitment is woven into our values and beliefs, and we welcome the full spectrum of humanity in our practice. We also believe you deserve the most comprehensive support and can help you make connections with other health care providers such as physicians and psychologists.
