There is a lot of noise surrounding bodies, weight, food, health, and wellbeing.

My work creates space to slow down, challenge assumptions, and build the knowledge and

skills needed to respond with greater compassion and confidence.

Using The What? → The So What? → The Now What? framework,

I offer education and support that moves beyond awareness toward meaningful action.

THE JOURNEY

There is no single path to recovery, and there is no universal definition of wellbeing.

My role isn’t to tell you what your journey should look like.

It’s to offer education, perspective, skills, and support

so you can make informed choices, connect with care that honors you,

and move toward a relationship with yourself that is grounded in compassion rather than shame.

The What?
Let's understand it.

The So What?
Let's understand why it matters.

The Now What?
Let's figure out what we can do-together

WHY THIS WORK?

This work is personal.

I am a white woman in long-term recovery from an eating disorder. I have experienced the harm of weight-based bullying and stigma, while also experiencing the very real advantages and protections of thin privilege.

I understand that these experiences can coexist.

I also come to this work as a mother, a steadfast educator, and a changemaker committed to creating environments where people can experience greater dignity, belonging, and freedom from the constant pressure to change their bodies.

My lived experience doesn't make me an expert in someone else's story.

It does, however, inform the way I listen, the questions I ask, the assumptions I challenge, and the spaces I work to create.

I believe we need both lived experience and evidence-based education to understand the complex relationship between weight, food, bodies, health, mental health, and culture.

THE WHAT?

Understanding where are with Weight, Food & Eating

Before we can change what’s happening we need a deeper understanding of the issues.

Education on Weight Based Discrimination & Anti-Fat Bias

Explore how weight stigma and anti-fat bias show up in:

• Healthcare and health education

• Schools and workplaces

• Families and communities

• Media and popular culture

• Policies, systems, and institutions

• Everyday interactions and assumptions about health, worth, and behavior

Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating

Build foundational knowledge about eating disorders and disordered eating:

• What counts as an eating disorder—and what doesn't always fit the stereotype

• Common signs, symptoms, and behaviors

• How eating disorders can present across ages, genders, body sizes, and backgrounds

• The relationship between dieting, weight stigma, body image, and disordered eating

• What makes it harder for people to seek help

• How to recognize when concern is warranted

• How to respond without shame, judgment, or reinforcing harmful behaviors

• When and where to seek medical, clinical, and nutritional support

The goal isn't to diagnose. It's to increase understanding, recognize concern, and know what to do next.

THE SO WHAT?

Our individual experiences are shaped by the culture, systems, environments, and messages that surround us.

Together, we explore what the research and data tell us about the impact of:

• Weight stigma and discrimination

• Diet culture and the pursuit of weight loss

• Body dissatisfaction

• Weight-based bullying

• Eating disorders and disordered eating

• Mental health and wellbeing

• Access to equitable, respectful healthcare

• The ways these issues affect children, adolescents, adults, families, workplaces, and communities

Data provides context. Lived experience provides perspective. Both matter.
