You don't have to earn the right to take up space, and the pain of being made to feel like you do is real. I'm an Art & Expressive Arts Therapist specializing in weight stigma and body trauma caused by diet culture. Diet culture demands we all look a particular way, and most of us don't fit that "thin" ideal. Daily microaggressions, dreaded doctor's appointments, diets that don't work, and a life put on hold until you're a smaller size. If you're done living under diet culture's thumb but don't know how to leave, you're in the right place
Feeling at home in your body, exactly as it is right now, is possible. Imagine making decisions about food, movement, and rest from a place of care instead of punishment, working with your body instead of waiting for a "perfect" one. That's the work we do here.
I offer individual sessions and group programming, including a 10-week program called Just Do It Fat and The Body Love Workshop, tailored to specific communities. Together, we use art-making and creative expression to access and process what words sometimes can't reach. No artistic ability required. You've always had the right to take up space.
