We provide support to build a more peaceful relationship with food and your body for a more joyful life
At The Nourish Collective, we are weight-inclusive, eating disorder dietitians in Calgary supporting humans who want a gentler, more supportive relationship with food and their bodies. You may be navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, or years of dieting that have left you feeling disconnected or worn down. Many people come to us feeling stuck, self critical, or unsure where to turn next. Our role is to offer a safer, affirming space where healing and recovery can unfold with care.
Our team provides nutrition care rooted in compassion, curiosity, and respect for lived experience. We take an anti oppressive approach and support clients in reconnecting with their internal wisdom while nourishing both body and self worth. Whether you are early in your recovery, returning to support, or looking for care that aligns with your values, our dietitians will meet you where you are.
What We Offer
-
We provide medical nutrition therapy through a weight-inclusive lens for humans living with chronic health conditions. This may include Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia. Our approach supports nourishment and well being without focusing on weight loss or restrictive plans.
-
Intuitive Eating is one of the approaches that guides our work as intuitive eating dietitians. This framework supports rebuilding trust with food and your body while moving away from diet rules and external expectations. Through this work, clients are supported in developing a more peaceful and flexible relationship with eating that honours their own definition of health.
-
Food struggles are often shaped by the broader social and cultural systems we live within. In our sessions, we invite conversations about body image, body politics, and the realities of existing in a world that may not treat all bodies equally. We support clients in challenging harmful norms and finding ways to exist with greater safety, comfort, and self compassion.
-
You do not need an eating disorder diagnosis to work with our eating disorder dietitians. We support humans across the spectrum of eating disorders and disordered eating in a space that strives to be free from judgment around body size, shape, identity, ability, or food choices. We believe recovery is complex and deserves comprehensive care, and we can facilitate connections with other health care providers as needed.

No. You do not need a formal diagnosis to work with our eating disorder dietitians. Many people seek support because food feels stressful, eating takes up a lot of mental space, or something does not feel quite right in their relationship with food. Support can be helpful at any point.
-
The first step often involves reaching out for support and having an initial conversation about your experiences, needs, and goals. This may include exploring your relationship with food, discussing nourishment and safety, and identifying what kind of support feels most helpful for you at this time.

Eating disorder recovery is a personal and ongoing process that looks different for everyone. It often involves rebuilding trust with food and your body, reducing distress around eating, and finding ways to live with more ease and alignment in daily life.
