Obesity
Pamela Mekuz
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Q)
Living with obesity can be complex, involving far more than food choices or willpower. Weight can be influenced by a combination of biological, psychological, emotional, and environmental factors, and sometimes reflects underlying challenges that deserve greater understanding and care. I believe it's possible to work toward personal health goals while also developing greater self-acceptance and compassion for yourself along the way. Drawing on my background in eating disorder recovery coaching, I offer a nonjudgmental space to explore your relationship with food and your body, consider the emotional and behavioural patterns that may be contributing to your struggles, and better understand the factors influencing your well-being. Together, we can explore what health means to you and work toward a vision that reflects your own values, needs, and goals.

Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting clients managing obesity focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore the physical, emotional, and behavioral factors that influence weight and health. I help clients identify patterns related to eating, activity, stress, and self-image while supporting them in developing realistic, sustainable strategies for behavior change. Using evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive-behavioural techniques and motivational support, I work with clients to build confidence, enhance self-care, and improve overall well-being. My goal is to empower clients to make lasting lifestyle changes while fostering a positive relationship with their body and health.
