I hear this one all the time and I know how it can trip you up.

You feel torn between validating their feelings and not wanting to reinforce harmful beliefs about their body.

This is my zone of genius. Let's work together to build your compassionate and confident response.

Send me a DM to learn more about my supervision offering.

And the list goes on...

➡Individuals in larger bodies may experience unreported side effects due to fear of weight stigma in healthcare settings
➡The weight loss effects often plateau, requiring higher doses to maintain results

Choosing whether or not to take a GLP-1 is a personal decision, but it’s important to do so with all the information—not just the weight loss promises.

If you’re struggling with body image and food concerns, working with a weight-inclusive provider, dietitian, or therapist can help you explore deeper, more sustainable paths to well-being. I work with clients who are on, have been on or are considering starting a GLP1, please know that you are entitled to body autonomy and I will hold space for your individual concerns, lived experience or desires.

Abby felt that the most helpful piece of our work together was learning how to be direct with clients, when there is resistance, holding boundaries with adult clients, learning tips for rapport building, using motivational interviewing and how to get out of the old-school RD mindset of handing out the perfect solution.

What could you gain from the support of a supervisor? Let's find out! Send me a DM to learn about my packages.

As one clinician shared:

"Heather has a unique gift for instilling confidence in her clients, helping them believe that meaningful change is not only possible but within their reach."

Body image work is deep, and it’s completely normal to feel unsure about how to approach it.

But here’s the truth: you can guide these conversations with skill, nuance, and compassion—and I can help you get there.

If you’ve spent years feeling like your body is a problem to be solved, the idea of finally “fixing” it can feel incredibly compelling.

But sustainable well-being isn’t about shrinking your body—it’s about changing how you see yourself. It's believing that your body is not a problem that needs to be solved!

Your worth has never been defined by your weight.

So, no medication will offer the kind of peace that comes from truly making peace with your body.

The real transformation happens when you stop chasing a smaller body and start cultivating a fuller, more authentic life.

Send me a DM if you're looking for guidance on breaking free from diet culture and learning how to trust your body.

Since first learning about IE and HAES, there have been many moments where I have felt the more I learn, the less I know!

Practicing weight inclusive care can often seem like a salmon swimming up a diet culture stream.

In addition to coursework, supervision has been extremely helpful towards practicing with confidence!

If you are a provider (especially a dietitian), working with clients who have disordered eating or are struggling with chronic dieting, body image concerns or trauma, it is vital to get support so that you do not unintentionally cause harm.

Drop a 💪 if you are ready to navigate weight inclusive care with confidence.

Hi! If you are a private practice Registered Dietitian in the field of Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating, Intuitive Eating, and/or Anti-Diet/ Weight-Inclusive Care and are struggling to counsel your clients effectively, compassionately, and inclusively, I have an opportunity for you.

With over 20 years experience in the field, I am in the process of filling my beta-round of my clinical supervision mentorship and have 3 spots left for dietitians. This means you will receive a 1:1 supervision and mentorship session in the month of April complimentary in exchange for a feedback.

During this session we can review a client case study you are struggling with OR a topic area you feel uncertain about when counseling your clients, to ensure you are improving your clarity and confidence in your ability to move your clients towards a better relationship with food and feel good in their bodies.

This opportunity is first come, first serve. If you'd like to take one of these spots you must be an RD in this field and comment on this post or send me a private message. Thanks!

If you’ve spent years struggling with body image and diet cycling, it’s understandable why the promise of significant weight loss might sound appealing.

But before making a decision, it’s crucial to understand the full picture—including the risks, limitations, and the reality of what happens when weight loss slows or reverses.

My latest blog post (link in bio) shares the truth about GLP-1s and why weightloss won't solve food and body image issues.

As it may be to see these medications as a quick fix for body image struggles, it’s worth pausing to ask:

Will weight loss actually bring the lasting peace and freedom you’re looking for?

You can take all the courses and trainings that discuss dialogues and sample clients, but until you're really in the trenches, you never know how it's going to go.

Instead of panicking about the above, why not seek supervision to bring your difficult cases to and either learn how to improve, or reassure that you handled it well?

I have 3 45-min spots available for you to uplevel your confidence when it comes to body image conversations.

Feeling frustrated? Maybe you have tried IE in the past and gave up when you saw the number on the scale climb. Or, maybe you are a newbie to IE and wondering if your weight will just keep going up and up and up! You may feel MORE uncomfortable, especially if you are in a marginalized body, and/or are in recovery for an eating disorder.

A very common result of learning to eat intuitively is weight gain.

Because we have internalized the idea that health and wellness can only measured by body shape and size, weight gain in the initial stages of IE, can often cause clients to falter, and start itching to go back to dieting. But, I'd like to challenge you: Instead of blaming IE or scapegoating your body... try widening the lens. 🎥

Is it possible you were at a weight that was only achievable by restricting prior to starting IE? What ELSE is playing into the current picture of your multi-faceted life? (relationships, work, finances, aging, etc)

You could attempt a sense of control by falling back into diet culture, but I think you know what that looks like, (sorry, not sorry).

The good news? Since diet & exercise only account for about 15% of your health outcomes, why not focus on the bigger picture?

In the absence of body size, what does your wellbeing look like? What aspects of health, (sexual, social, emotional, sleep, etc) have nothing to do with your weight?

If food and body image feel like they take up too much of your precious time, mental space, and energy, it's time to seek support.

We have to stop seeing weight gain as failure!

We have to stop seeing weight gain in recovery a sign that we are doing it wrong.

As a matter of fact, let's take the focus off weight and turn our attention to other, more important, indicators of health and wellbeing.

Recognize that the shame and guilt you feel around food and body image are not innate—they’ve been taught to you.

This isn’t personal failure; it’s cultural conditioning.

What would you add to this list?

Can I be vulnerable for a minute?

The other day, I was in a group zoom where we broke into small groups. After we broke out into groups of 3, we had about 1 minute left, and a therapist in this small group asked if she could ask me a question-

She then proceeded to say that she could tell I was in a bigger body, and asked if anyone had ever told me they wouldn't work with me because of my size. Whoa!

The truth is - she was the very first person to ever mention my size (professionally speaking) and it actually took me a bit by surprise.

My answer: While it may be true that someone has made the choice not to work with me because of my size, no one has ever told me that out loud, so I don't know. 🤷‍♀️

Ironically, I used to worry about that very thing, (am I too big to be a a dietitian?) when I was in a much smaller body! These days, I think about it a lot less.

I don't buy into the whole "my body is my business card" BS, and neither should you. As providers our value lies in our skills, knowledge, compassion, wisdom, creativity, etc. It's the gifts we bring to the world that matters!

If you are a provider struggling with getting out there and being seen, or you are getting stuck when clients bring up body image, reach out- I'd love to connect with you.

Ready to reassign your inner mean girl? Need support in accepting your body as it is now or want to leave diet culture behind but are terrified of what that might look like? I got you!
