Body Trust®

The search for an anti-diet, fat-affirming provider may feel like finding a needle in a haystack. Thankfully, that is gradually changing.

I belong to a growing community of Body Liberation-Centered providers, therapists, clinicians, medical doctors, healers, dieticians, & other health & wellness service professionals.

We are actively working to change the discourse around the harms of diet culture, the weight loss industry, medical fatphobia, fat stigma, and the ableism that seeps into all of the systems we interact with daily.

BODY TRUST® IS FOR…

• Those who find the ‘body positivity’ & ‘wellness culture’ movements lacking and missing the entire point of body & fat liberation (e.g., excluding marginalized communities and conversations around anti-oppression).

• Those who feel like they’re not doing enough to fit into perfectionist ideals, norms, & impossible expectations for body, health, gender, race, ability, and beauty.

• Those who have internalized messages of being “undesirable,” “unlovable,” “unworthy,” “unhealthy,” or “glorifying fatness*“ - and therefore less worthy of love, belonging, & compassion.

• Those who want to push back against the ‘too much’ and ‘not enough’-ness of diet culture, disordered eating, body image struggles, and body and shape modification behaviors.

• Those who want to continue recovering & healing from diet culture, weight cycling, eating disorders, body hatred, and attempts to fit into (white) Western gender, body, and beauty standards.

• Mental health and service providers who tirelessly navigate these struggles for their clients, while also continuing to reflect & grow on their own relationships to their bodies, identity, power, & privilege.
