Our identities are socially constructed so it is our relationship with our body, normalizing that relationship can clear the space for a kind and compassionate relationship with our bodies. Developing our agentic empowered self as a strategy to negotiate the pressure and challenges we experience in our lives.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I am here to support you whether you have an eating disorder or you can see there is some unhelpful patterning going on with your relationship with food. I have worked a great deal with the whole spectrum and have seen real success for people through therapy. This includes processing of one's familial history and messaging around food and weight and the impact this has had, skills around managing difficult thoughts and emotions, addressing fears around weight gain/giving up control and getting clear around what is important to you and how your relationship with your food and body may be getting in the way.

Eating Disorders
Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
An eating disorder is rarely just about food. It is often a response to emotional pain, perfectionism, anxiety, trauma, or a need to regain a sense of control. Together, we'll explore the patterns beneath the behaviors with curiosity rather than judgment, helping you better understand your emotions, strengthen coping skills, and rebuild trust in yourself. My goal is to help you move toward a healthier relationship with food, your body, and your sense of self while supporting lasting emotional healing. When appropriate, I work collaboratively with physicians, therapists, and registered dietitians to ensure you receive comprehensive care.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Admitting that an eating disorder has developed is a very brave and courageous step. By engaging in this first step you are already beginning your recovery process. Many individuals are in denial about their eating disorder and only acknowledge their problematic behaviours once their health is severely impacted. Since the behaviours of an eating disorder are unique across individuals, the treatment plan too, is unique.
In therapy, we largely explore the meaning that you give to the eating disorder, how you developed your relationship with food, and the purpose that the eating disorder served in your life. Once you gain a deeper understanding of the cause of the eating disorder, my hope is that you view yourself through a nonjudgmental lens, which is a crucial step in the healing process.
In order to help you overcome the eating disorder, I also use a variety of therapy models, such as narrative therapy in order to separate the disorder from the person. Once you perceive the issue as separate from the self, you are more likely to activate your self-healing capacities, which is important for experiencing change and growth. I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for challenging some of the thoughts that you may have about food. Once you gain insight into your personalized history of the eating disorder, as well as the resources that you have for overcoming dysfunctional eating patterns, you move further into your journey to recovery.
