Because every body deserves to be at peace.
Eating disorder and OCD support for everyone.
Your body will always be the only body you have. You deserve for it to be a place of peace. If you are tired of being stuck in the cycle of dieting, the idea that you need to shrink yourself to be happy, and intrusive thoughts that control you, then you are in the right place! Together, we won’t just address the symptoms, but we will also get to the foundation of where the problems are coming from.
Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Abby!
Pronouns: she/her/hers (what’s this?)
I am a non-diet, Health At Every Size eating disorder and OCD specialist. I have also been where you are because I am an eating disorder survivor, as well as an OCD, anxiety warrior. Having been a collegiate athlete that struggled with disordered eating, I always passed off those behaviors as normal. It took me a long time to believe that the way I was living didn’t need to be my future. Taking the leap to ask for help is absolutely scary, but it’s the first step to a different future that you deserve!
Fun Facts About Me:
I’m obsessed with all Bravo shows
My favorite food is pizza
I have a golden retriever, named Rosie, who saved me!

Are you struggling to accept your body’s size, shape, or weight?
Do you feel trapped by intrusive thoughts that feel like they are consuming you?
Do you look in the mirror and struggle with the body you see?
Were you trying to make “healthier” choices for your body and feel like it spun out of control?
Are you tired of yo-yo dieting and “starting again tomorrow”?
Are you struggling to understand your body’s hunger and fullness cues?
Do you feel like you have been at war with your body for long enough?
You’re in the right place. Your body will change throughout your entire life. Making peace with it can be the most challenging experience, and the greatest investment, of your life!
Our Approach
There are a few things you should know about working with us:
⁕ We won’t be weighing you.
Why? Because weight isn’t the only marker of progress or health! Your value isn’t found on the scale, so we won’t focus on that in our work together!
⁕ Our goal for you is body neutrality not body positivity.
Don’t get us wrong, body positivity is wonderful, but it is also REALLY HARD to achieve in our culture! If we work towards neutrality, the focus is on loving your life, not just your body!
⁕ Treatment should and will be size-inclusive.
What does that mean? All bodies, regardless of weight, shape or size, deserve treatment and support in healing their relationship with their body and food. All treatment at Beautifully You is size inclusive and HAES aligned!
⁕ You were born an intuitive eater.
Surprised? Think about it! We were all born knowing how to identify what our body needs and communicate it! Along the way, wires got crossed and your brain connected that certain needs are bad or wrong. We want to get you back to that intuitive approach with your body and strengthen the trust you have always had with it!
⁕ No foods are bad, and your body is not inherently wrong.
Just like bodies, food is neutral! There is no morality attached to it! All foods fit, and your body is not wrong for existing the way it does! Together, we can work on self compassion and permission to eat the foods that fuel you to live a happy life!
