About our
certified Body
Trust Specialists

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.

If you do not find someone in your area, many of our specialists offer support via video conference or phone.

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.

My work is influenced by Audre Lorde, Tressie McMillan Cottom, Aubrey Gordon, and many more who’ve contributed to intersectional, feminist thought.

“Food can fuel your body and feed your soul. It also brings people and cultures together. Your relationship to food, your body and other people in your life is far more important than the nutrients you consume. Every individual deserves a peaceful relationship with food and body trust. Body trust is a birthright!”

Licensed Psychologist

“Empowerment, compassion, connection. I help women find and strengthen their true inner voice and turn down the noise of others and the inner critic, attune to what they truly need in order to have healthy relationships with self and others, and overcome whatever barriers (past, present, and future, internal and external) stand between them and their best selves, so that they can live their best lives and make a positive impact on those around them, creating a ripple effect of healing.”
