Tend and Cultivate Counselling, Inc

About Us

Tend and Cultivate Counselling provides virtual fat-affirming, anti-diet counselling services to people in bigger bodies.

We specialize in body trust, self-compassion, breaking up with diet culture, body liberation, trauma, grief, and changing bodies. We are affirming for queer, trans, nonbinary, disabled and chronically ill, neurodivergent, and BIPOC clients. Our approach to mental health is non-stigmatizing, gentle, anti-oppressive, and deeply compassionate.

At Tend and Cultivate, we help you navigate the complexities of life with our gentle, trauma-informed approach to mental health – without ever making your body the problem.

Because your body size should never be a reason to treat you poorly, and at Tend and Cultivate, you’ll know that we get what it’s like to move through life in a bigger body.

Whether it’s your relationship with food, with your body, with a loved one, or the trauma of your past, our goal is to support you in: connecting more deeply with yourself and what matters on YOUR terms; discovering the wisdom and the tools you already possess; and, exploring new ways forward that fit the context and shape of your life.

We can help you tend to the challenges and cultivate more nourishment, connection, healing, and joy.
