I am a therapist, educator, and facilitator whose work sits at the intersections of body liberation, grief, and sustainable practice. I am a co-founder of the Center for Body Trust, a nationally recognized organization that challenges weight-centered paradigms in health and wellness. Through this work, I have spent over two decades helping people reclaim their relationship with their bodies and supporting providers in reshaping the way they practice. She is also the co-author of Reclaiming Body Trust: A Path to Healing & Liberation, a book that deepens the conversation around healing, embodiment, and systemic change.
I am also deeply engaged in grief work, holding space for the losses—personal, cultural, and professional—that shape our lives. She co-facilitates Tending: Accompaniment at the Gates of Grief with Carmen Cool, LPC, a community-centered offering that recognizes grief as both an individual and collective experience. With warmth and depth, I support those navigating transitions, loss, and the emotional weight of doing meaningful work in difficult times.
Through EMBER, my business coaching program, I extend my experience to therapists, service providers, and values-driven entrepreneurs who seek to build businesses that sustain both their purpose and their well-being. She believes that tending to grief, embodiment, and sustainability is essential to creating work that lasts.
Hilary’s work is rooted in social justice, emotional integrity, and a belief that healing—whether in the body, in business, or in community—requires us to honor what has been lost in order to build something new.
