HAES Nutrition Consultation & Services

Health at Every Size, also known as HAES, is an approach to health that follows the basic principle that a person’s health is not determined by their body weight.  According to HAES: “It is an inclusive movement, recognizing that our social characteristics, such as our size, race, national origin, sexuality, gender, disability status, and other attributes, are assets, and acknowledges and challenges the structural and systemic forces that impinge on living well.” 

HAES follows three components:

✔ Respect: Celebrate your unique body regardless of its appearance, size, race, nationality, etc. 

✔ Critical Awareness: Challenge the norms that you’ve been taught to believe throughout your life and establish new beliefs and values. We’ll work together to explore your lived experiences and investigate the ways in which they’re affecting your health.

✔ Compassionate Self-Care: Treat your body with the love it deserves and learn how to take care of your personal needs, both mental and physical. You’ll learn to live with flexibility by finding a routine that feels good for you and your unique lifestyle. 

We can support you throughout your health journey to find a solution that fits your unique lifestyle. We recognize that weight isn’t a strong indicator of overall health and wellbeing. Instead, we will focus on the whole picture, beyond food, and investigate the ways we can help you feel your best from the inside out. There are a variety of factors that can affect your health and through appropriate nutrition counseling, we can help you to achieve your goals.

It can be so frustrating when you’re trying to achieve optimal health through weight loss. We know how discouraging it can be when you’ve tried every diet under the sun and something is missing. You’ve been there, done that. The reality is, you don’t need to lose weight to be your healthiest self. When we help you find movement you enjoy, paired with nutritious foods that you can see yourself eating for a lifetime, you will create a new lifestyle for yourself that feels authentic to your goals.
