✨ Gentle movement isn’t a “lesser” form of exercise, it’s a powerful act of healing.

In a world that tells us to push harder, go faster, and earn our rest, choosing to move with kindness is radical.

Whether you're in recovery, redefining your relationship with movement, or just need a break from the grind, this post is for you. 🫶

💛 You don’t have to prove your worth through sweat.
💛 You’re allowed to move for joy, not punishment.
💛 You deserve rest and respect.

👉 Save this for a reminder on slower days.

✨ Thinking about working with a dietitian but unsure if out-of-network care is worth it?

We get it. Navigating insurance can be confusing and frustrating. But sometimes, stepping outside the system is exactly what allows real healing to begin.

Here’s why working with an out-of-network dietitian, especially one who specializes in eating disorders and sports nutrition, can be life-changing 👇

💬 Deep Expertise, Not General Advice
Out-of-network dietitians often choose this path to specialize in areas they’re passionate about, such as eating disorders. That means you get focused, highly informed care that many in-network providers aren’t trained to offer.

🧠 You Deserve More Than Quick Fixes
We take the time to explore your relationship with food, your body, your training, and your emotions. Sessions are longer, richer, and centered on helping you build long-term, sustainable change, not just symptom management.

🧩 Truly Personalized Support
Because we’re not limited by insurance restrictions, your care plan is designed for you. Whether you need more frequent sessions, a flexible pace, or in-between session support, we’ve got you.

🏋️‍♀️ For Athletes: Real Fuel, Real Support
Performance nutrition isn’t just about macros. We address RED-S, overtraining, injury recovery, and body image, all while helping you fuel for strength and stamina without sacrificing your mental health.

💖 A Safe, Trauma-Informed Space
Our care is rooted in compassion, consent, and respect. We work from a HAES (Health at Every Size) and non-diet perspective, so you never have to shrink your body to feel supported.

📩 Curious? We’re happy to walk you through how it works - including how superbills can help with reimbursement.

💬 “Do you accept insurance?”
It’s one of the most common questions we get, and the answer is:

👉 We’re out of network with insurance providers, but that doesn’t mean that you won't get reimbursed!

💡 Being out of network means we don’t bill insurance directly.
BUT, we can provide you with a superbill (a detailed receipt you send to your insurance). If you have out-of-network benefits, you might be eligible for reimbursement!

🧾 Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ You pay upfront
2️⃣ We send you a superbill
3️⃣ You submit it to your insurance
4️⃣ You may get reimbursed, depending on your coverage

✨ Why work with an out-of-network dietitian?
✅ Access to specialized care
✅ Longer, more personalized sessions
✅ More flexibility & an approach tailored just for you

Recovery is rarely a straight line. For many, it’s years of trying, falling, questioning, and trying again. Our client’s words speak to the shift—that powerful moment when healing becomes less about fixing yourself and more about reclaiming your life. ✨

They bravely shared that the moment they were told, “You can continue to be sick if you want,” was the first time they felt true choice—and with it, the power to choose healing.

At Fueling for Recovery, that’s what we’re here to offer: not a prescription, but a partnership. You decide the direction. You decide the speed.
We walk with you.

Whether you're just starting to think about recovery or you've been on this path for years, you deserve care that honors you. No shame. No pressure. Just support, however and whenever you're ready.

💛 If this resonates with you, or someone you love, reach out by phone or email. Our team is here to hold space, offer guidance, and help you build a life that’s bigger than your eating disorder.

If you’re BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Colour) and struggling with food or body image, you’re not alone — and you deserve support that actually sees you.

💬 Many of our clients have heard:
👉 “You don’t look like you have an eating disorder.”
👉 “Isn’t that a white girl problem?”
👉 “Just eat — that’s not a thing in our culture.”

These messages are harmful, false, and rooted in systemic bias.
And they keep people from getting the care they need.

Here’s how we tailor eating disorder support for BIPOC clients:

🌍 We honour cultural foods in recovery.

🧘🏾‍♀️ We understand how racism, trauma, and body surveillance can show up in disordered eating.

🤝 We listen without assumptions — and build trust through cultural humility and care.

🧏🏽‍♂️ We challenge Eurocentric body ideals and make space for your lived experience.

🎯 Eating disorders don’t discriminate. Neither should treatment.

💛 If you’re looking for a safe, inclusive space where you can heal — join our BIPOC Eating Disorders Support Group.

☀️ Summer can be a tough season — especially for athletes struggling with eating disorders or disordered eating.

While others are getting excited for beach days and lighter gear, you might be feeling pressure. To look a certain way. To stay "disciplined." To keep your body in “peak” shape.
⠀
🏃‍♀️ As an athlete, your body is your instrument — but it’s also your home. And if you're dealing with disordered eating or body image struggles, summer can bring up even more discomfort.
⠀
💬 You're not alone. And you’re not “less of an athlete” for feeling this way.
⠀
👉 Swipe for tools to help you stay grounded in your values, support your body, and actually enjoy summer — on your own terms.
⠀
👇 Share your favourite part of summer below — or what helps you feel strong in your body, no matter the season.

🌈 Client Story: Emeric’s Journey ✨

“Even when my body started to resemble the so-called standard, I didn’t feel free. I was starving, exhausted, constantly at war with myself.”

In honour of Pride Month, Emeric shares his powerful story as a gay man navigating an eating disorder in a culture where the “perfect” body is everywhere.

His experience is a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t just about food or weight — it’s about reclaiming peace, identity, and self-compassion. 🕊️

Swipe to read Emeric’s full testimonial — raw, honest, and deeply moving.

Thank you, Emeric, for trusting us and showing others that healing is possible, whatever that may mean for you. 🌿
