4 pillars at Kristin Vora Nutrition
Non-diet ApproachI utilize an evidence-based, non-diet nutrition philosophy. I believe that all foods can and should fit. I believe all bodies are good bodies. I strive to help you ditch the diets for good and to develop a more flexible relationship with food through mindfulness, body respect, and Intuitive Eating principles.
Client-centered ApproachIt is my highest priority to treat all of my clients with the utmost kindness, compassion, and respect. I practice through a trauma-informed lens, striving to establish a safe, therapeutic environment for all clients. I believe that mental and emotional health are just as important as your physical health.
I approach the nutrition counseling process individually and collaboratively, utilizing a team approach. My goal is to empower my clients to make progress towards established goals that are based on their values.
Weight Inclusivity and Body RespectI truly believe that every person I meet has inherent worth and value, regardless of the size of their body. I believe that individuals of all body weights and sizes can pursue a healthy relationship with food and their body.
As a Health at Every Size practitioner, I celebrate body diversity, challenge cultural and scientific assumptions related to weight and body size, and value body knowledge and lived experiences.
MindfulnessI believe mindfulness is the foundation of lasting recovery. Mindfulness is the act of bringing awareness to the present moment, all while accepting your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. Mindfulness is a therapeutic technique used and encouraged in every individualized nutrition session.
