Hello! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Jamie Salacup (formerly Earnhardt), she/her, and I am passionate about reconnecting people with their bodies. I work from the deep belief that your body is not a problem to be fixed. understand that is not the message we get at every possible direction.

Some reasons people come to work with me are: feeling out of control around food, Binge Eating Disorder, negative body image, effects of weight and fat stigma, unlearning and de-tangling from diet culture, wanting to

I’ve been described as warm, direct, and authentic.

Some favorites:

Some things that inform how I practice:

  • Body diversity exists. Always has, always will. We are not all supposed to be the same. Trouble with this concept roots back to institutions and people wanting keep power over others- predominantly racism and white supremacy culture

  • There are many institutions, systems and people who benefit and from us feeling like shit about ourselves.

  • Oppressive body hierarchies hurt everyone- especially those living at the intersections.

  • Despite what you have heard- your body is NOT the problem

  • You are the boss of your body.

  • There are so many legit reasons why we don’t feel connected to our bodies. Healing starts with the idea that your coping is rooted in wisdom. And to get to the root causes, we get curious- not judgmental.
