Meet a multidisciplinary group of professionals who have spent a minimum of 12 months training with us.
Sharing your process with people who support your liberation is an important part of reclaiming Body Trust.

A note about
our directory
The voices and experiences of Black, Indigenous and People of Color, gender variant folks, fat folks, and/or people with disabilities have been absent and minimized in the eating disorder, healthcare, and wellness-related professions.
Therefore, we are working hard to draw an increasingly diverse group of people to be part of our Body Trust Provider Community.
To include providers who are often excluded or unable to participate in trainings such as ours, we offer equity-pricing and additionally have 10 low or no cost spots in every cohort.

Lael Atkinson,
CPRC, CPC
Recovery Coach
“If you are questioning your drinking, or your participation in diet culture, please know that you can do it without labeling yourself, without judging yourself, and without it reaching a point of being “bad enough.” It’s more than enough to start from a place of asking if your life might be better without it.”
I am a certified professional recovery coach and work at the intersection of drinking & dieting (that includes disordered eating & eating disorders). I support folks who struggle with alcohol and/or with disordered eating & body image issues. I find that they are often intertwined (as they were for me). I also offer a course and group coaching program called Beyond Shrinking & Drinking.
My mission is to bring my expertise, empathy, and sense of humor to folks who wonder if there is another way of being, but don’t know how to find it in a culture that often encourages the same behaviors that are perpetuating our pain. As I know I’m not the only one for whom drinking intersects with disordered eating & body image issues, I choose to focus on both areas. But I leave it to those who want to work with me whether they choose to focus on one or the other, or the two in combination. I’m here to support your healing, on your own terms.
