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.

Valentina Gajardo Rivera,
RDN
Pediatric Nutritionist & Dietitian
“I specialize in responsive feeding, ED, vegetarian diets, and work in a Pediatric ICU.
One day in my private practice, a 7-year-old patient didn’t want to come in for her session. When I approached her to ask why, she replied, “Because you’re going to tell me I’m fat, that I have to eat more vegetables. I already know that, and I don’t want to.” I loved it, because that’s precisely what body confidence is all about, isn’t it? She had every right to be angry about being told her body was wrong and being forced to eat what she didn’t want. I loved that this little girl gave me the opportunity to be the healthcare professional I never found along my path: someone who told me there was nothing wrong with my body size. I want all kids to grow trusting their bodies.”
