Health at Every Size® in Clinical Practice
The five basic tenets of Heath at Every Size (HAES®) are health enhancement, size and self-acceptance, the pleasure of eating well, the joy of movement and an end to weight bias. Using a combination of therapeutic approaches, including mindfulness and intuitive eating, HAES can strengthen an individual’s commitment to their health and wellness through focusing on quality of life and self-care instead of dieting for cosmetic reasons.

What Motivates Change? Translating Theory Into Practice
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a state-of-the-art, evidence based clinical counseling method designed for evoking intrinsic motivation for positive health behavior change. Originally developed in the drug and alcohol field, MI is now being widely applied in a variety of settings including health care and criminal justice. This training is for helping professionals who are in the role of counseling clients/patients to make and sustain healthy behavior changes: nurses, physicians, life coaches, personal trainers, dietitians, care managers, social workers, health educators, etc. To read more about the objectives of this training, click here.

About the Facilitators: The HAES in Clinical Practice training will be co-facilitated by Dana Sturtevant, MS, RD and Hilary Kinavey, MS, LPC. In 2005, Dana and Hilary started facilitating groups to help women let go of food/weight obsession. Realizing they shared a similar approach and philosophy regarding food, weight, body image, and health - one directly counter to that of conventional institutional paradigms, the two decided to merge their practices to create a partnership that would offer a revolutionary approach to women seeking answers regarding eating disorders, weight loss, exercise, and nutrition. Dana Sturtevant, Certified MINT Trainer, will facilitate the Motivational Interviewing workshop. For more information about Dana's Motivational Interviewing trainings, click here.
