Approach to care

I embrace a simple, unconventional approach to nutrition and mental health care, focusing on the whole person and providing a compassionate space for individuals to be exactly who they are. My priority is ensuring that those I work with feel truly seen and heard, with genuine intention and kindness. I am dedicated to offering non-diet, weight-inclusive, and anti-oppressive care. I invite you to be present, just as you are, as we navigate this journey together.

Your first session with Kaitlyn

This session is thoughtfully designed to honor your individuality and create a supportive, non-judgmental space. We will begin by discussing your goals for our collaboration, emphasizing an anti-diet, weight-inclusive perspective that respects your body and experiences. My approach centers on evidence-based practices that prioritize health and well-being rather than weight as a primary outcome. We will also review your medical history with care and sensitivity, recognizing the impact of social and systemic factors on your relationship with food and your body. Together, we will co-create a plan that aligns with your values, fostering self-compassion and sustainable change without reinforcing harmful diet culture or oppressive practices. Our aim is to cultivate a healing environment where your voice is heard and your needs are honored, empowering you to develop a positive, balanced relationship with food and body trust.
