My Story

I’ve spent the past several years on a personal journey to make peace with food and my body. Discovering Intuitive Eating and the supportive communities that work to help those on their journey to body liberation has changed my life. Like so many people, I thought there was something wrong with me that I couldn’t “eat normally” and enjoy my body. I thought that I needed to lose weight, stay on a food program or look to an outside source for knowing that I was OK. Through building my own skills and internal resources of self-compassion, interoceptive awareness and mindfulness, I discovered that none of what I previously thought was true. I was able to finally make peace with food and my body. Eating experiences became pleasurable and satisfying in a whole new way. Living in my body was no longer distressing, it was a way to live my life more fully than I ever knew was possible. This is what drives my passion for working with others who also struggle. We each have a unique story, but in case you are wondering, freedom is possible for you, too. With the right support and tools, we can tap into our inner goodness and ability to heal.
