We are honored to be your guides on this learning journey
We are 3 passionate registered dietitians who have integrated a weight-inclusive practice into our work for many years. We understand the discomfort and questions that come up when learning this approach because we have lived them.
We have combined our knowledge and experience to offer you this comprehensive training of the basics of the weight inclusive approach. Our goal was to create the kind of training we would have loved to have when we started our learning journeys!
