OUR MISSION

Our passion is offering care for those with limited access to eating disorder providers in their area and to walk alongside them in their recovery transformation from beginning to end.

This may include new services for those who are “sick” of their eating disorder but struggle with the ambivalence inherent to recovery, for those who have “been there done that” and feel like giving up, maybe having been in treatment multiple times and find themselves repeating engrained behaviors and habits upon returning home, for those whose eating disorder originated early in life and perhaps were victims of trauma and used their eating to manage their feelings of overwhelm, for those who are skeptical that recovery exists for them and are held hostage by their thoughts and behaviors, for those parents or support persons who simply need guidance with how to support their loved one whose at struggle, and for those who have a strong desire to live wholeheartedly again but just are not sure where to start or who need a judgement-free someone to bear witness to their story, their vulnerability, and their humanity as they tackle the great journey of recovery.

Joleen Wilson, RD/LD, CNSC

I’m a Registered Dietitian (RD) in practice since 2008. I have 10 years of experience working with eating disorders throughout all levels of care. My approach includes principles from Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size (HAES), and disengaging with diet culture. My own journey to eating disorder recovery combined with knowledge of the medical complications of eating disorders allow me to treat those with eating disorders and disordered eating from a compassionate, non-judgemental, and intuitive point of view.

The dietetics profession is often mystified and poorly understood. Dietitians, including myself, are traditionally trained in the weight-normative paradigm and thought to focus on health and weight loss with their clients almost exclusively. After much research and collaboration with other non-diet dietitians and professionals, the most ethical approach in my mind and for my practice centers around a weight-inclusive paradigm that will honor food preferences, size-acceptance, and encourage joyful movement, if desired by the patient. I take a step-wise approach to determine what’s “really going on” in terms of issues with food and body size and I learn the values, core beliefs, and goals that are important to my client. I then empower my client to once again begin to live the life they want to live that is in connection with their values by also addressing eating disordered behaviors, nutrition habits, beliefs, and (possibly) deep-rooted insecurities about food, body size, and shape.
