✨ Meet Piper Menini! ✨
Registered Dietitian & 🌿 Intuitive Eating Counsellor

Through The Nourish Collective, Piper works with clients using a weight-inclusive, trauma-informed approach grounded in the belief of “nutrition for all bodies.” 💛

It was important for Piper to connect with a fitness space that shares the same values and approach to care 🤝, which led her to begin her journey with EBS 💫.

🌱 Piper works with many individuals navigating disordered eating and developing intuitive eating practices. Her person-centered approach is rooted in weight-neutral values, supporting clients as they rebuild trust with their bodies 💕, reconnect with hunger and fullness cues 🍽️, and develop a more flexible relationship with food 🥙✨—without relying on restrictive or regimented meal plans.

🧠 Piper has also been working with neurodivergent folks, specifically people with ADHD, on body nourishment and how to work with their ADHD rather than against it when navigating eating challenges 🌟.

💚🌿

There’s a quiet misconception that to support someone fully, you have to be like them… that shared identity is the only doorway to understanding. 🤔

In spaces like gyms, where growth, vulnerability, and trust intersect, something deeper matters more: intention, awareness, and a willingness to listen. 🧠💬

You don’t have to be q***r to create a space where q***r people feel safe in their bodies. You don’t have to be trans to respect someone’s relationship with movement, strength, and visibility. You don’t have to live with a disability to recognize that bodies move through the world in vastly different ways, each deserving of dignity, adaptability, and respect. 🌈♿💪

What you do have to be is attentive. Curious without being invasive. Educated without assuming expertise over lived experience. 👀📚

Coaching across difference isn’t about claiming understanding, it’s about building it, piece by piece, through trust and listening. 🧩🤝

Solidarity in EBS isn’t solely about shared identity. It’s about shared humanity. It’s about recognizing that everyone deserves to feel strong, safe, and seen in their body, even if their experience of that body is different from your own. ❤️

And when that’s the foundation, training becomes more than instruction. It becomes care. 🌱

That’s right everyone.. The Coldest Night of the Year is approaching… ❄️

This is a family-friendly fundraising walk in support of local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. ❤️‍🩹

Some of our crew at Every Body STRONGER will be leading the warm up for the walk at the Woods Homes Inglewood Opportunity Hub. Will you join us?! 🏃🏿‍♂️‍➡️ 🌠

We would love to see our fellow community members, especially other Inglewood neighbours, friends & businesses walk alongside us for this important initiative. 🫶

Saturday, February 28th from 4-7 pm with more info on the Wood’s Homes website and Instagram + page! 👋
