Speaking & Teaching

I love speaking on the topics of Health At Every Size® (HAES®), fat liberation and fat positivity, and weight bias and fatphobia. I especially love speaking on anti-fat bias in the counseling/therapy room as this is an area I have studied extensively.

My past speaking engagements have included:

• Training other counselors and psychotherapists

• Guest speaking in support groups and programs run by other providers

• Corporate trainings

• Podcast interviews (e.g., Dietitians Unplugged interview on grieving the thin ideal)

Common topics for my speaking engagements include:

• Fat Studies 101 for Counselors and Psychotherapists

• Grieving the thin ideal (why it’s important, how to do it)

• How to accept your body as it is (whatever its size)

• How to create fat-friendly working environments

If you are interested in having me speak to your group or organization, please reach out and we can discuss more!
