How Our Journey Began

As an eating disorder dietitian and eating disorder therapist, we saw a need for community based support that complements traditional therapeutic care. The transition between care settings can be overwhelming, and we wanted to create a service that makes that process just a little bit easier. Thus, Beloved Eating Disorder Coaching & Nutrition was born.

At Beloved, we adopt Carolyn Costin’s definition of recovery:

“Being recovered is when a person can accept his or her [or their] natural body size and shape and no longer has a self-destructive or unnatural relationship with food or exercise.

When you are recovered, food and weight take a proper perspective in your life and what you weigh is not more important than who you are. In fact, actual numbers are of little or no importance at all.

When recovered, you will not compromise your health or betray your soul to look a certain way, wear a certain size or reach a certain number on a scale.

When you are recovered, you do not use eating disorder behaviors to deal with, distract from, or cope with other problems.”

Our Philosophy

At Beloved, we believe that all bodies are good bodies and that weight is not a determinant of health. We are passionate about dismantling fatphobia and weight bias, and believe that everyone, regardless of age, race, sexuality, gender identity, and size, should have access to competent and compassionate care.
