Ep 60: Using Trauma-Informed Pilates to Reconnect to Your Body After an Eating Disorder with Kaysha Thomas
Description
In this empowering conversation, I am joined by Kaysha Thomas, a registered nutritional therapist and trauma-informed Pilates teacher, who shares her journey from restriction and body shame to food freedom and self-trust.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or ashamed of your hunger, and you've tried every plan, cleanse, or “fix” and still felt stuck, then this episode will offer a new lens.
We discuss:
- How to start building a more inclusive, compassionate relationship with food and your body
- How diet culture disconnects us from our bodies and builds shame around food
- Kaysha’s personal story of healing from restriction and reclaiming intuitive eating
- Why information isn’t enough, and how language and safety are key to healing
- The importance of trauma-informed care in nutrition, movement and beyond
- What intuitive eating can really look like (hint: it’s not perfect)
