Elizabeth Brinkman

Hi, I’m Liz. I am a registered dietitian nutritionist, practicing in this field for over 20 years. I work in private practice and within the VA Healthcare system in Phoenix, AZ. The population I serve most often are those living with eating disorders, disordered eating, and cancer. I offer an approach which supports people in finding wellbeing in relationship with food and body. I lean on the principles of intuitive eating, body image resiliency, nonviolent communication, and mindful self-compassion principles. I care about a several really important things. I care about people. The messier and further from perfect the better. My superpower is understanding the following: we humans may know and understand concepts and have the capacity to set goals and intentions, but our hearts, life experiences, and factors beyond our control have a tendency to grab the wheel and take us on detours. I celebrate and respect the discomfort and confusion of the detours because these unexpected twists and turns almost always lead us to new discoveries and deepen relationships to ourself and others. I care about food and the sensual act of eating. I love making meals and sharing food around my dining room table. I hope people leave my home feeling more hopeful and accepted than when they walked in. I care about health justice and health equity. I work to perpetuate a health-enhancing practice in the broadest sense of the word "health". I crave a healthcare system where people are safe, respected, and empowered. I care about story. My work champions asking hard questions, seeing and trusting lived experiences and partnering with clients in the pursuit of health and wellbeing.
