​

Consulting services are suitable for a wide array of practioners who are looking for individual professional development and business support who are currently working in, or want to transition to a weight inclusive, Health At Every Size framework.

 

The structures and practices you use have a flow on effect to your clients or patients, particularly those who are in marginalised bodies on the basis of size or other stigmatised identities.

​

Working with a consultant doesn't aim to change the specialised knowledged you bring in your area of practice, it aims to assist you to apply it to diverse populations. You bring your knowledge and experience, and I work with you to create a framework based on evidence, compassion and inclusivity.

for practioners and organisations

Ashlee Bennett is a specialised consultant in the areas of weight stigma, size diversity, body image and Health At Every Size principles. She has a diverse range of experience from lived experience, private practice operation, clinical, educational, community workshops, as well as ongoing postgraduate research in applied science, public health and internalised weight stigma. 

 

Ashlee's skills are informed and applied with a sociocultural, intersectional perspective from the point of view of individuals seeking a service, helping professionals and stakeholders.

​

  • Size diversity and inclusion in the workplace

  • Weight stigma and weight bias education, training and stigma reduction strategies
