Virtually + In person HAES Care
**Now offering therapy services with our psychotherapist Rae Slezak! **
If you’re feeling stuck in your relationship with food, your body, or yourself, you’re not alone.
This space may be for you if:
- You feel stuck in cycles with food—overeating, restriction, or constant thoughts about what you “should” be eating
- You’re tired of dieting and want a more peaceful, sustainable relationship with food and your body
- You’re navigating a new health diagnosis and don’t want to fall into another restrictive, all-or-nothing way of eating
- You’re a parent feeling overwhelmed or unsure about how to feed your child
- You’re struggling with body image and finding it hard to feel at home in your body
- You’re feeling anxious, low, burnt out, or overwhelmed and want support that looks at the full picture
- You find yourself putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or feeling disconnected in relationships
- You want care that is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and inclusive of all identities
This Is About More Than Food.

Our Approach:
Non-diet & HAES®-aligned:
(health at every size)
We don’t focus on weight loss. We support sustainable, compassionate relationships with food and body.
Weight-inclusive care:
Your health is not defined by a number. All bodies are respected here.
Trauma-informed & neurodiversity-affirming:
We recognize that your experiences, brain, and body shape how you move through the world—and your care should reflect that
Anti-oppressive & inclusive:
We are committed to creating a space that honours diverse identities, lived experiences, and ways of being.
Whole-person support:
Nutrition and mental health are deeply connected. We care for both—together.
Collaborative & client-centred:
You are the expert in your life. We meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you.
Rooted in self-compassion:
No shame. No judgment. Just support that helps you build a more trusting relationship with yourself.
We believe nourishment goes beyond food—it includes your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and the way you care for yourself.
At Peacefully Nourished we aim to provide progressive, unstigmatized and compassionate care. Providing a space for individuals to be heard, valued, and deeply respected.

Rae is a psychotherapist offering compassionate, collaborative support for your mental and emotional well-being. Her work is grounded in a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, weight-inclusive and anti-oppressive approach to care.
She supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout, as well as relationship challenges, boundary-setting, and life transitions. Rae also works with individuals healing their relationship with food and body, including disordered eating and eating disorder recovery—holding space for this work with care, nuance, and deep respect for each person’s experience.
Rae’s approach is rooted in self-compassion and values-based living. She creates a space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns without judgment, and where you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. Sessions are paced with intention, honouring your capacity and meeting you where you’re at.
She is committed to creating an inclusive space that affirms diverse identities, including 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and recognizes the broader systems that impact mental health and well-being.
Outside of her work, Rae is a big fan of horror movie, a dedicated Survivor watcher, an enthusiastic thrifter and up-cycler. She loves being near the water, caring for her houseplants, and spending time with her dog Daisy.

Atheana has been working in the field of dietetics for over 14 years, offering a compassionate, weight-inclusive and non-diet approach to care. Her work is grounded in self-compassion, a deeply client-centred philosophy, and both professional and lived experience.
She believes that weight is not a reliable measure of health or well-being, and that your relationship with food and your body deserves thoughtful, individualized care—not rigid plans or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Sessions with Atheana are collaborative and organic. There are no cookie-cutter methods here. Instead, she works with you to explore your unique story with food, body image, and health—moving at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable. Atheana does not position herself as the expert of your body; she believes you hold that expertise, whether for yourself or your child.
Her work often involves gently unpacking patterns, sitting with the hard parts, and getting to the root of what’s really going on—without judgment or pressure to “fix” yourself.
Outside of her work, Atheana is a mom of three, a lover of slow mornings, herbal tea, and time spent in nature. You’ll often find her kayaking on the lake, chasing after her kids, or holding space for restorative yoga in her studio, Fieldside Yoga.
