You’re tired of feeling uncomfortable and unsettled

Maybe you’re exhausted by the hustle.

You feel like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel,
trying to be everything you’re supposed to be,
and you’re desperate for an exit ramp.

all your fault

Whether you’re just broken.

(Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before, but you didn’t get much out of it.)

you are not broken

your body is not the problem, and it never was.

your true Self is untouched and untainted,
no matter what your life has thrown at you.

you don’t have to wait any longer to come home
to your Self.

we might be a good fit if…

  • you’re looking for a therapist who actually knows what to do with your disordered eating

  • you need help figuring out how to live your best life with your neurospicy brain - not against it

  • you’ve been burned by the church, and need a safe place to process that.

  • you need a dietitian or nutritionist who won’t tell you to “lose weight,” or blame your health struggles on your weight

  • you’ve tried every diet under the sun, and you’re ready to get out of that cycle and try something completely different.

  • you’re sick of providers making triggering recommendations about food, exercise, and weight, no matter what you’re seeking help for.

  • you want to feel a stronger sense of identity in who you are, but you’re not sure how.

  • you want to learn to accept yourself and your body, even if society doesn’t.

our dream is to offer you care that's:

WEIGHT-INCLUSIVE

we celebrate the wide variety of body shapes and sizes
(yes, even yours!), and we understand that weight doesn't indicate health

TRAUMA-INFORMED

whether it was one, big, impactful experience, or a chronic, toxic environment, we anticipate and are prepared for all kinds of trauma

IDENTITY-RESPONSIVE

when we say "every body," we mean it - chronically ill, disabled, neurodivergent, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, you name it -

we see you

  • for every body who's ready to break free from shame

  • for every body who's been burned by the church

  • for every body whose childhood continues to affect them

  • for every body who longs for a therapy space that won't blame their body

  • for every body who wants to work *with* their ADHD, instead of against it
