This 2-day workshop, presented by Fiona Sutherland (The Mindful Dietitian, Australia) & Haley Goodrich (INSPIRD Nutrition, USA) will bring together the principles of the Non Diet Approach along with really diving into the nuance & challenges which come along with working within this framework.
What can I expect?
Day 1 will cover Non Diet Approaches within the broader framework of Health At Every Size (R), clarifying how a variety of practice principles (including Intuitive Eating and Non Diet Approach) fit neatly together with this model of client-centered care. We will explore the history of these approaches, then dive into each component in turn then pull it all together in a clear, cohesive, practical way. Together we will clarify what weight inclusive approaches sound, feel and look like in everyday practice to enhance our capacity for ongoing self reflection. Importantly, we will also be looking at who we are missing in these approaches & how we can promote equitable care for all people..We will step through key elements of Non Diet Counselling including setting strong foundations for effective client care, consent, developing shared understandings and communication. We will round out the day with a discussion about weight neutral Medical Nutrition Therapy.
You can expect a variety of learning styles - didactic, insight-oriented & discussions.
Day 2 will start with learning how to use consistent language throughout your communication to connect with others in ways which enhance clarity of messaging. We will identify and unpack common difficulties we might face when working as a weight inclusive practitioner and how we navigate our experiences effectively so we can thoughtfully respond to clients and weight-centric referring providers to promote allyship and collaborative care.

“Haley and Fiona are powerhouses when it comes to providing the most up-to-date eating disorder and weight inclusive research there is and they have such a passion for connecting with and educating other clinicians. Their Non Diet Approach workshop is the perfect combination of connecting with like-minded clinicians, learning about terminology and best practices, challenging the status quo, and leaning into the tough conversations around what it means to be a weight-inclusive clinician. I am so incredibly thankful for these amazing ladies and their devotion to the eating disorder space and helping me (and others!) provide the best possible care to my clients. If they are ever in your area, you do not want to miss out on this workshop and getting to connect with Haley and Fi!”
-Morgan S. (Houston)
“Attending the non-diet workshop with Haley and Fi was one of the most valuable and enjoyable learning experiences I’ve ever had. I didn’t realize how isolated I felt until I was in a room full of humans that believe in the non-diet approach. Haley and Fi created a brave space in which we could learn, share and examine our own bias/assumptions, together. They did a wonderful job of providing practical, tangible strategies for sharing this message, and how to communicate with colleagues and clients. I walked away from this workshop feeling grounded, connected, inspired and hopeful about the future of weight inclusive care. Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity! “
-Kalin H. (Toronto)

"When signing up for the workshop I didn't know what to expect, but I learned SO much. I learned new ways of discussing IE and HAES, helpful social media usage, and met some really talented, passionate clinicians from all over North America."
- Emily T. (Houston)
“To put my experience into words is almost impossible. I left the workshop sobbing (literally, not exaggerating) because I felt heard, seen, and validated by some of the most influential non-diet dietitians around the world. As a dietitian who's education was rooted strongly in diet culture, it was so liberating to connect with professionals who understand what it is like to make the transition to the non-diet approach. I have so much gratitude for Haley Goodrich and Fiona Sutherland and their influence in the field of dietetics.”
-Sammy P. (Washington DC)
“[After the workshop] I was so much better prepared to speak against diet culture in a comfortable, calm manner. I was so proud of myself afterwards for being able to articulate things in a way that felt clear and confident. Thank you for giving me these skills!"
