The Ample + Rooted Community: Eating Disorder Training
Community and education for body liberation practitioners
Grab our Free Guide on First Steps Towards Embodied Liberation
As a mental health professional, you want to provide your clients with the best possible care. You want to speak to their unique experiences, address their needs, and provide care that is fat-positive, sex-positive, LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-oppressive, and anti-racist.
You want to keep learning and growing both personally and as a professional, but finding the right education that upholds all of these intersecting values is challenging.
The majority of educational conferences and materials out there are based on outdated thinking centered on a cishet, thin, white normative experience, which may not apply to your clients (or you, for that matter!).
You’re tired of all the fatphobic messaging and overall oppressive standards of care. You need education that’s accessible and aligned with your values of social justice and equity.
You crave a community where you can connect with other like-minded professionals. (Because let’s face it, being fat positive in a fatphobic industry isn’t just frustrating—it can get lonely!)
You want to change your field, but you don’t want to do it alone.
And luckily, you don’t have to.
Introducing the Ample + RootED Community
The Ample + RootED Community is an engaging, supportive community of mental health professionals with the shared purpose of body liberation for all and who desire ongoing training, education, and connection. This is a space to deepen understanding and increase your skills in working with eating disorders and body shame.

A place where social justice and equity is central to the conversation and the needs of marginalized communities are placed at the forefront. (Read our commitment to social justice here).

About your guide
Neathery Falchuk (they/them) aims to create a world where everyone can find and access affirming and inclusive therapeutic support. They value being authentic, playful, and fully collaborative with clients on their path of self-exploration and discovery.
As a queer, genderqueer, fat, Latinx therapist, Neathery saw the need for inclusive education from an intersectional and social justice-oriented framework in the therapy community, specifically around eating disorders and body liberation. They founded the Ample + RootED Community to fulfill that need through a community where mental health professionals can come together to receive the education and support necessary to fully support clients on their diverse journeys of growth, as well as to support the well-being of and the person within the therapist.
Neathery is a Certified Body Trust® Provider and has served as a past President of Central Texas Eating Disorder Specialists, a past board member of the Association for Size Diversity and Health, and a past board member and DEI Committee Chair of Austin Group Psychotherapy Society. When they aren’t working with the Ample + RootED Community, Neathery loves yoga and meditation, social justice activism, movies, starting and never finishing books, hiking, and spending time with their wife, pups, family, and friends.
"I see this community as a group of leaders in the body liberation movement, and my dearest wish is that this will allow us as a community to impact and reform our industry and our society as a whole.
I would love for you to join us!"
Welcome to the community you’ve been searching for!

Whether or not you seek to specialize in treating eating disorders, it’s likely you’ve had a client in your office struggling with food, exercise and/or body shame. Eating disorders are prevalent in our society and are a highly fatal mental health diagnosis, second to opioid use disorder. Astonishingly, comprehensive and accurate training and education are minimal.
