I work alongside my clients and focus on aspects that are health enhancing, sustainable and evidence-based. Your body size does not directly correlate to your health status. I do not believe in pathologizing weight and/or body size. All bodies deserve dignity, validation and to be cared for respectfully. It is well documented that people living in higher weights experience weight stigma and fatphobia, which has a significant impact on eating patterns, well-being and mental health.

Research consistently shows that there is no sustainable permanent weight loss option. The more a person weight cycles and tries to control their body weight, the worse their health becomes (despite actual body weight). In fact, the biggest predictor of weight gain is dieting. Evidence shows that 95-98% of dieters regain the weight back and in most cases more within the next 3-5 years. Your health and your worth cannot be measured simply by a number on the scale. Our bodies are designed to survive and they tend to shift in the direction to do so. Three outcomes exist: a gain, a loss or no change. Your body will determine what it needs to do.
