At Body Positive Works, we see nutrition as a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Our team listens deeply, working to understand the underlying issues that may be impacting your relationship with food.
Our mantra, “No Judgment,” is central to our philosophy, offering you compassionate support, free from shame or pressure.
We recognize the impact nutrition has on our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Whether you choose individual mind-body nutrition counseling or prefer the support of group programs and workshops, we provide a personalized path towards healing.
Here’s how we can help you experience greater freedom and a more balanced approach to eating:
Learn about the medical and nutritional impacts of disordered eating behaviors.
We’ll help you build self-compassion and acceptance.
Discover strategies for stabilizing your eating patterns and rediscovering hunger and fullness cues.
At Body Positive Works, we believe in the power of self-discovery. Our Wellness Center in Bergen County offers a holistic and integrative approach to health and wellness, guiding you on a journey back to your truest self, nurturing your mind, body, and spirit.
Body Positive Works offers an inclusive and empowering environment to find holistic health. Our personalized approach focuses on creating a space for lasting transformation, going beyond surface-level nutrition advice and diving deeper into the complex relationship between food and body.
At Body Positive Works, we believe that nutrition should be health-centered and weight-neutral.
That’s why we take an integrative approach that fosters self-love, self-care, and self-acceptance.
Nutrition sessions offer education around the medical and nutritional side effects of binging, purging, and restricting; development of a balanced relationship with food and body; support in stabilizing eating patterns; and once stabilized, help with getting in touch with hunger and fullness cues.
Our food protocols are focused on overall well-being, rather than trying to achieve a certain weight or culturally defined standard of beauty.
Nutrition support includes conversations around body acceptance, allowing you to explore and heal your relationship with food and your body so that you can experience a sense of confidence and freedom and develop a better relationship with both.
