Resilient Fat Goddex

It is time.

I have made the extremely difficult decision to close my coaching practice by April 30, 2024. I have now worked at Catholic Community Services for just about 8 months as a youth and family crisis therapist. I’ve done my best to give my coaching clients the best during this change. And it has become very clear that I won’t be able to keep doing my best if I continue.

Please let me know by April 19th, if you’d like to schedule a closing session.
Below are coaches that are queer, fat, **and/or** trans that could provide the support you may be looking for.

* River at A New Voice

With all my queer, fat, trans love!

“We know that the answer has always been love. The question is how
do we stop forgetting the answer so we can get on with
living our highest, most radically unapologetic lives.”

Letter to my Fat, Trans and/or Queer Siblings

I can tell you that it does get different. I can tell you that you don’t have any chance at finding the people you connect deeply with if you are gone. I truly hope that you give yourself a chance to find the right people for you.

How I Started Creating Fat Art

My fat art block prints grew out of a desire to have a place to process and channel emotions that I have continued to feel since I began eating disorder recovery in 2016.

Why Eating Disorder Treatment is Failing Us All

I do not know if there is an in-patient eating disorder treatment center that currently exists that is safe for all people with non-dominant systemic identities at all levels of the organization. I do not know of an eating disorder treatment program for higher level of care where I as a fat, queer, non-binary person would feel safe to attend.

From Dog Family to Fat Community: Grieving the loss of One and Opening to the Other

While I physically ache at my dog’s absence, she gave me and my body the power to recognize belonging.

My Partner Has Gained Weight, Has Become Body Positive, And I’m No Longer Attracted To Them. Now What?

The person you love, your girlfriend/boyfriend, wife/husband, or partner has become body positive or fat positive. Maybe your partner has gained weight since you first met, and you are no longer physically attracted to your spouse. But they have started accepting their body, and no longer want to try to change it through dieting. Your partner is talking about anti-diet or non-diet approaches, such as Health at Every Size® (HAES), Body Trust®, and Intuitive Eating (IE).

My Ethical Statement: Striving for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

I want you to know where I am coming from and what drives my work. When you know what my perspective is, you will be able to make an informed decision on working together. I believe that we deserve to live in a world free from anti-fat bias and stigma. I believe that Health at Every Size®, Intuitive Eating, body respect, and Body Trust® are philosophies that offer an alternative paradigm to our culture's views of weight and wellness.
