🥗 Food, neurodivergence, and trauma — it’s more connected than most people think.

Our latest blog by Natalie Siu-Mitton (she/her), BSc, MACP, Registered Psychologist & Registered Dietitian, explores what it means to approach nourishment through a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed lens.

👉 In this post, Natalie breaks down:
1. Why “just eat healthy” advice can be harmful for neurodivergent folks
2. How trauma and ACEs shape relationships with food and body
3. Practical ways to centre body autonomy, sensory needs, and safety in nutrition

This isn’t about shame, rigidity, or diet culture. It’s about compassion, inclusion, and care that honours your whole self.

🐾 Play is therapy too!

Today’s co-regulation crew: Dexter (our silly Devon Rex) + Leo (our wild Bengal). Between zoomies, snuggles, and supervising our sessions, they remind us that joy, play, and connection are powerful medicine.

✨ At Revolution Therapy & Wellness, we believe healing can be curious, playful, and unapologetically authentic.

ADDRESSING A CRITICAL SERVICE GAP: S*x Work Affirming Therapy

We just published a comprehensive blog post about a significant gap in mental health services: truly affirming care for s*x workers.

The reality: Many s*x workers can't access mental health support without facing judgment, pathologizing of their work, or inappropriate treatment goals. This represents a major service gap that leaves an entire population underserved.

Our post covers:
- Evidence-based research on effective approaches
- How intersectional oppression compounds barriers to care
- Practical guidance for providing competent, affirming support
- Why we need more therapists willing to fill this gap

At RTW, we're proud to partner with Shift (SafeLink Alberta's s*x worker harm-reduction support program) in providing comprehensive care. We make active referrals, collaborate on safety planning, and will be organizing a fundraiser for their vital community work in the coming months.

This service gap affects real people. S*x workers deserve mental health providers who see their full humanity and support their self-determined goals.

The blog includes research citations, intersectional analysis, and practical steps for developing competency in this area. It's written for both professionals and the public.

Could you be part of filling this gap?

We'd love to hear from therapists interested in learning more about s*x work affirming practice or supporting Shift's community work.

Discover revolutionary s*x-positive therapy and wellness in Calgary that truly affirms s*x workers and challenges harmful systems. Read about RTW's bold approach to inclusive mental health care.

🌂 A red umbrella appeared outside our office—bold, beautiful, and symbolic. Whether intentional or not, it carries global meaning: the red umbrella is the international symbol for s3x worker rights—protection, dignity, and visibility.

At Revolution Therapy & Wellness (RTW), we don’t just support s3x workers—we learn from them, stand with them, and build alongside them. Through our connection with SHIFT program, we’ve seen the power of harm reduction, advocacy, and community care in action.

💡 S3x work exists on a spectrum of experience:
• Some engage in s3x work by choice, as a form of labour.
• Others participate under constraint, with limited options shaped by poverty or systemic inequities.
• And some are subjected to coercion, traff!cking, or s3xual slavery, where consent is absent and exploitation is central.

At RTW, we support people across this spectrum with respect, non-judgement, and trauma-informed, stigma-free mental health and wellness care.

This painting isn’t just art—it’s become our unintentional beacon of solidarity, reminding us that every person deserves safety, dignity, and the freedom to thrive.

✨ We’ve officially been open for one week!

Things aren’t quite finished yet (far from it), but we’re already falling in love with our new space. Over the next little while, we’ll be sharing glimpses of the space before a full reveal—because building this collective has always been about the journey as much as the destination.

One of our favourite parts of creating a community-oriented space is showcasing the work of local artists. Their art isn’t just on display—it’s available to take home, so the community can keep supporting them beyond our walls.

This stunning piece is by the talented Jesse Palechek, who receives critters from a conservation organization and transforms them into breathtaking works of art. This is just one of Jesse’s many incredible creations—and just one of many artists we’re so proud to feature in our space.

🌿 Thank you for being part of this journey with us—we can’t wait to keep showing you what we’re building together.

Keep an eye out for our announcement about our open house in October! 😉🎉💖
