ALL FOODS,
ALL BODIES,
ALL GENDERS.
FIND BODY PEACE
As a genderqueer transgender nutrition specialist, I understand the unique challenges facing gender diverse clients in making peace with our bodies, nutrition, and gender identity. Your work shouldn’t have to include educating your provider about your gender identity or explaining the reality of living with dysphoria. Our work together will be focused on establishing a healthy relationship to food and your own body. I aim to support your in your personal goals for recovery, improved body image, and ultimately . . . body liberation.

"In a World That is Wrong About Us"
Vaughn's TEDx talk illuminates the needs and challenges facing the young people of the transgender community as they navigate transphobia, weight stigma, and trauma. Vaughn shares about his own experience with disordered eating, and demonstrates why providers who share lived experience with their clients bring added depth and compassion to their work.

MY PHILOSOPHY
My work is based in intuitive eating and weight-neutrality, and I consider myself a nutrition therapist. My work is informed by internal family systems therapy, loving feeding therapy, humanistic psychology, CBT & DBT. I work collaboratively with clients and their treatment team to support holistic, individualized healing.
I cannot ethically guide my patients to lose weight, knowing there is no safe, sustainable way to maintain weight loss. I do support clients as they struggle with the impact weight stigma has on their bodies and lives.
I believe that existing as a transgender person is a radial and revolutionary act, that we are under tremendous pressure to hide and shrink ourselves, and that we all deserve to live authentically in our body. I am honored to support you on your path, and I sincerely look forward to witnessing you and your growth.
