Hi Friends! My name is Sofia (pronouns she/her) and I am a fat femme queer multiracial mom and counselor. I love connecting with other humans and am super passionate about educating folx about the fat experience. I’d be honored to be a part of your fat positive journey! I have both the lived experience of existing in the world as a fat femme queer multiracial woman and the professional expertise of having worked with clients on body image and acceptance for 5+ years.
By the end of this course you will feel confident in working respectfully with clients of size and helping them toward their body image goals.
