What are we about?
Patient-centred Non-Diet Nutrition
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to nutrition. We believe that health exists on a continuum that varies with time and circumstance for each individual. We also recognise that dieting and food restriction can be harmful for both mental and physical health. Therefore, we challenge rules around food and eating, help our clients develop individualised and sustainable approaches to food, and give themselves permission to eat without guilt or judgement.
Weight, Body & Ability Inclusive
We practice through a Health At Every Size® (HAES®) lens, adopting a weight neutral approach to health. Instead of using body weight to indicate health status or treatment progress, we support our clients to develop meaningful and fulfilling lifestyles through eating intuitively, developing body acceptance at any size, shape or ability, and exploring movement that is safe, inclusive and enjoyable.
Conquering Weight Stigma & Eating Disorders
We live in a world that worships and equates thinness to health and moral virtue. The pressure to fit into this supposed picture of "health" leads to weight-based stigma, discrimination and perpetuates eating disorders.
We strongly believe there is no "right" way to have a body. We respect the inherent diversity of bodies and choose to reject the idolisation or discrimination of specific weight, shape, size, identities, and abilities. We actively contribute to dismantling diet culture by advocating for size diversity, speaking out against fatphobia, sexism, racism, classism, homophobia/transphobia and ableism, spreading awareness for eating disorders of all kinds and attempting to bridge the gap in healthcare inequalities through our services.
LGBTQIA+, disability & neurodivergent -affirming care
We believe that all people, regardless of their sexuality, gender identity or neurotype, are an important part of society and deserve respectful and inclusive care. We strongly value lived experience and are passionate about improving access to healthcare to marginalised groups, dismantling ableism and other forms of oppression, and empowering individuals to accept and embrace their differences.
