Our Philosophy 

​

• Providing evidence-based care that is informed by current research 

​

• Fostering an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment that respects people of all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and bodies

 

• Prioritizing the health, safety and progress of the people we work with by collaborating with Primary Care Physicians, Psychiatrists, and Registered Dietitians

​

Health At Every Size® Principles:

 

•  Weight Inclusivity: Accept and respect the inherent diversity of body shapes and sizes and reject the idealizing or pathologizing of specific weights.

 

 

• Health Enhancement: Support health policies that improve and equalize access to information and services, and personal practices that improve human well-being, including attention to individual physical, economic, social, spiritual, emotional, and other needs.

 

• Respectful Care: Acknowledge our biases, and work to end weight discrimination, weight stigma, and weight bias. Provide information and services from an understanding that socio-economic status, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and other identities impact weight stigma, and support environments that address these inequities.

 

 

• Eating for Well-being: Promote flexible, individualized eating based on hunger, satiety, nutritional needs, and pleasure, rather than any externally regulated eating plan focused on weight control.

 

• Life-Enhancing Movement: Support physical activities that allow people of all sizes, abilities, and interests to engage in enjoyable movement, to the degree that they choose.
