Dr WendyLeigh White, a licensed naturopathic doctor and nondiet weight-neutral nutritionist, takes a “nature cure” approach to prevention and healing in her clinical practice, teaching, and speaking. She has maintained a clinical practice since 2008 and taught at the graduate level 2016-2021. In 2020 and 2021, she was included in the Portland Monthly’s Top Doctors, Naturopath category. She provides naturopathic care, nutrition counseling, Safe and Sound Protocol, and Visionary Craniosacral Work (VCSW) at Heart Spring Health. Her aim is to empower every one of her patients/clients/students, especially those in larger bodies, to understand the interconnected systems of your body and its specific needs. In this way, you learn to tune in to the signals your body is telling you. Only then can you give it what it needs to heal, to thrive, to learn how not to follow in your family’s medical footprints. Building from a “nature cure” philosophy (food, water, air, movement, relationships), Dr White specializes in developing personalized lifestyle plans that align to your unique genetic makeup and lifestyle. She enjoys coaching people who are needing support with nervous system soothing, blood sugar management, prediabetes, and Type 2 diabetes. Dr White is most passionate when she is speaking to groups about the body’s innate ability to heal itself and to keep itself in balance when supported appropriately.

For more than 25 years, Providence Eating Disorders Treatment Program has helped patients recover from anorexia, bulimia and atypical eating disorders. Our treatment process begins with a thorough clinical assessment to address current and past eating practices and the physical and emotional consequences of these practices. This includes the evaluation of symptoms, such as depression, anxiety and substance use, as well as lifestyle factors, such as social support from family and friends. As patients approach or re-approach treatment, their readiness and the timing of treatment are also considered. Recovery is a process that requires persistence, courage and effective treatment resources.

We are a group practice here to support you in recovery from eating disorders and poor body image. Our providers are all specialists in eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image challenges. We would love to help you feel great about yourself, inside and out. Reach out for a no cost consultation and see how we can help! https://bodyexpressions.org/contact/

I’m Juliana, the Founder at Reclaiming Juliana. I share a breathwork practice dedicated to empowering womxn to reclaim their bodies, minds, and spirits. In a world that demands so much of us, I hold space for you to reconnect with your inner wisdom, honor your truth, and cultivate deep self-care. My mission is to guide you back home to yourself, providing tools and support to rediscover the beauty and power within. As a later in life lesbian who spent a lifetime disconnected from my body, I understand first hand how important learning how to connect to your inner knowing is. I combine somatic breathwork with trauma-informed training to gently guide you home to yourself.

I offer one-time visits and ongoing care in a supportive, weight inclusive environment to heal from diet culture, disordered eating and digestive distress. Sessions are collaborative, and encourage listening to your body wisdom, while holding space for and acknowledging body disruptors (trauma, oppression, illness). As a dietitian, I am here to help you navigate diet claims and food rules (what is true for you?), understand your own physiology (why does my body respond this way?) and develop a relationship to food and your body that aligns with your values and goals. Medical nutrition therapy is incorporated, as appropriate, to support blood sugar control, heart health, sports nutrition, digestion, including irritable bowel syndrome, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Food beliefs that cause anxiety and shame are also considered, as both can influence symptoms and well-being.

When a green shoot first comes out of an acorn, it breaks apart the acorn’s shell in the process. To the oak tree it will eventually become, this moment may be looked back on as break-through. But to the acorn itself, this first stage can only ever be experienced as breakdown. Moving from breakdown to breakthrough requires courage to sit with that fragile, newly emerging version of self until it becomes bigger and stronger than what came before. We here at Brave Acorn help people in the greater Portland area align body, mind, emotions, and intersectional identities in their daily lives. We nurture strong roots for personal growth and welcome people of all sizes, races, religions, gender identities, and sexual orientations. We are trauma-trained, take a Health at Every Size approach to food and weight issues, and encourage people to work with their body and emotions as allies (rather than enemies) on their journey towards growth and healing.

I am the founder/owner of EmbodyED NW and a Neurodivergent clinician with over 7 years of experience working in the eating disorder field. With a masters degree in clinical nutrition, I have worked with eating disorder patients in various capacities. Past work includes individual nutrition support, recovery coaching, group courses, facilitating support groups, providing public workshops, and acting as a consultant for local treatment facilities. As a new resident to Washington, I hope to provide similar support in our new locale. My approach involves supporting clients wherever they are in their eating disorder recovery journey.

At present, I am a certified Nutritionist through the state of Washington and provide recovery coaching in addition to the eating disorder nutrition support.
