I am Hilary.

I am a therapist, educator, and facilitator whose work sits at the intersections of body liberation, grief, and sustainable practice. I am the co-founder of the Center for Body Trust, a nationally recognized organization that challenges weight-centered paradigms in health and wellness. Through this work, she has spent over two decades helping people reclaim their relationship with their bodies and supporting providers in reshaping the way they practice. I am 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, a community-centered offering that recognizes grief as both an individual and collective experience. With warmth and depth, she supports those navigating transitions, loss, and the emotional weight of doing meaningful work in difficult times.

Through EMBER, her business coaching program, Hilary extends her expertise 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.
