My Philosophy of Care
I think you’re super smart, totally creative, and definitely doing the best you can. My approach to this work is being incredibly present to all that is already whole inside of you, and to offer more resources when useful.
I like my body and I want that for you too.
I combine my experience as a certified life coach, certified intuitive eating counselor, activist, mama, and songwriter to create powerful coaching sessions that support you in releasing the feeling of "should" and finding what you really want.
About Me & My Practice
I want to live in a world where all bodies are accepted and loved.
These days, I'm pretty into my body, but I haven't always felt this way. I fluctuated throughout my life between being somewhat neutral to actively disliking and trying to control the size of my body through food and exercise. This was confusing because I grew up in a strong, political, feminist household. I knew that trying to control my body felt misaligned with the values I was raised with, but I couldn’t help it! The body-hating world around me was too powerful.
Then one day, I realized I had a choice: I could continue to try to control my body forever, or I could finally let go. I chose to let go.
I received excellent coaching from Isabel Foxen-Duke and Virgie Tovar and rebuilt a trusting, loving relationship with my body and with food.
Choosing body acceptance felt like finally being aligned with who I am.
I love ASDAH and the HAES® framework! HAES® means all people deserve access to health tools. I take a “redefining health” approach in my practice and encourage people to think about what health really means to them.
Accessibility Considerations
My practice is entirely virtual. I coach primarily by phone so that clients can take calls while lying down, walking, or doing whatever is most comfortable. I offer Zoom coaching as well, if preferred.
