Concordia Body and Mind

Concordia Body and Mind; dedicated to helping you to navigate and heal from the pervasive influence of diet culture through mindfulness.    Welcome to Concordia Body and Mind. I am passionate about supporting people who have experienced feeling overwhelmed by societal pressures to conform to a particular body shape and size. I bring a wealth of experience as a therapeutic counsellor, mindfulness and mindful eating practitioner, a non-diet dietitian and a Health At Every Size advocate.  I have experienced the harmful impact of diet culture and weight stigma, from a young age, setting off a chain of unhealthy habits and a strained relationship with my body. Constantly monitoring my food intake and distrusting my body's natural cues was exhausting and became the norm. I developed a deep dislike for my body, always feeling inadequate in the eyes of society and myself.   My personal experience has led me to embark on confronting and rejecting the suffocating influence of diet culture. Practicing mindfulness and self-compassion, I worked on breaking free from diets and to embrace my body in the present moment, appreciating its natural changes. As well as personally, I have also witnessed in my professional capacity the devastating and destructive impact weight stigma and diet culture has on people's emotional wellbeing.   I understand how tuning out the pervasive and overwhelming influence of diet culture can remain a constant struggle, often leaving you feeling alone. Cultivating self-acceptance and self-worth despite a world that tries to define your worthiness based on your size is not easy. I believe that providing the right weight inclusive and compassionate environment is essential for you to negotiate the complexities of body image, learn to heal, and regain trust in yourself and your inner body wisdom. I am committed in providing a caring and empathic approach that supports you in valuing and appreciating the incredible vessel of your body that carries you through life.
