Body Brave

I have recently completed my student placement for my Bachelors program at Body Brave and have taken away so much knowledge and experience from this amazing organization!
Body Brave has created a safe and welcoming space that not only supports individuals, but also provides an amazing opportunity for student placements and volunteer positions.
The work being done at Body Brave is truly amazing and I am so thankful for such an incredible opportunity!

I completed my student placement for my Masters program at Body Brave, and was blown away by the incredible work that they do and their anti-oppressive, trauma informed approach to working with their clients. They have created an incredible team of people who are truly creating a safe space and a brave space for all those who enter their doors, whether its clients, group members, placement students, etc!

Being a Public Relations Intern at Body Brave was a good experience. I learned a lot about social media, was able to explore my creative side through content creation, and was able develop/enhance some personal & professional skills. I think the most valuable part, however, was being able to learn more about the ED world. This is something that I had minimal knowledge on before and this position really educated and enlightened me in that regard. I also enjoyed being part of a team working towards educating, helping, and breaking the stigma around EDs and other body-related struggles!

I have had the pleasure of facilitating mindfulness at Body Brave. Body Brave is an amazing organization that provides free programs and resources that are uniquely designed to meet the needs of the clients and their families. Body Brave has become a community for many, to holistically address all aspects of their health and recovery. I always feel at home when I am at Body Brave and truly enjoyed facilitating mindfulness in a safe, inviting and non-judgmental place.
Thank you Sonia for providing this amazing opportunity for such needed program.

I’ve been attending yoga classes and workshops and receiving therapy at Body Brave since the summer of 2017. I am so incredibly grateful for the essential and accessible services this wonderful organization provides. Sonia is professional and approachable, and with her history as an ED survivor, you truly feel understood. Dr. Trollope is a warm and welcoming therapist, making sessions comfortable even when the topics of discussion become uncomfortable. The layout of the space really makes you feel at home. I am personally making great progress in my recovery thanks to Body Brave. I was so fortunate to find this organization in our community!
