Trauma-Informed, Weight Inclusive Interventions with HRV Biofeedback

Janell’s work seeks to promote health for individuals of all sizes and improve access to stigma free healthcare. In pursuit of this goal, she uses her PhD and post-doctoral training in psychology and statistics to conduct research on trauma-informed, weight inclusive interventions that enhance positive embodiment and wellbeing for people across the weight spectrum.

 

When Janell discovered Heart Rate Variability (HRV) she knew it was an ideal fit for a Health at Every Size® (HAES®)-informed framework that rejects BMI as a meaningful health metric. She has since pilot tested HRV biofeedback with the Optimal HRV app as a tool to improve interceptive awareness, positive embodiment, and disordered eating.

 

Training with Janell will provide background on the meaning of a weight-inclusive, HAES®-informed approach to health, as well research showing the importance of doing so for the prevention and treatment of disordered eating. She will teach healthcare professionals who wish to move away from a weight-centric model of health how HRV and mindfulness-based HRV biofeedback can be implemented as HAES®-informed interventions.
