Body-positive Food + Movement

HAES guidance on nourishing and moving your body

Every body is a good body. Refuge Acupuncture is a trauma-informed, Health-At-Every-Size (HAES) healthcare provider. Our table can support 1,500 lbs and is wider than standard tables at 30”.

Before we offer guidance around food that would support your health and healing, we ask if you’re open to it.

We are guided by the classical principles of East Asian Medicine which (before meeting Western diet culture) didn’t see food as “good” or “bad” nor did it use restrictive language to talk about food. At Refuge, we go back to those roots to counsel you on food and movement practices for your unique constitution using their energetic characteristics.
