My Philosophy of Care

At Embody Confidence, I believe care is a collaborative journey rooted in curiosity, compassion, authenticity, and respect for the whole person. My role is to create a space where you can better understand yourself, reconnect with your own wisdom, and make meaningful, sustainable change.
 I use an approach that combines practical tools, mindfulness, body-based awareness, and a focus on your strengths and goals. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system with curiosity and compassion. I’ll offer education, perspective, and support while honoring your lived experience and helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and greater trust in your own wisdom.
 My work is grounded in weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating philosophies. I believe all bodies deserve dignity, respect, compassionate care, and access to health and well-being. I support people in developing body respect, self-trust, and a more peaceful relationship with their bodies by challenging diet culture, moving away from rigidity and toward curiosity, compassion, and trust.
 Ultimately, I want people to feel more at home in themselves, letting go of shame and diet culture while building a life that feels authentic, connected, and unapologetically their own.

About Me & My Practice

As an AuDHD woman with personal experience of an eating disorder and body dysmorphia, I have a deep understanding of the exhaustion, fear, and disconnection that can come from feeling at odds with your body. I ultimately recovered into a larger body, and I am healthier, happier, and more at home in myself than I have ever been. Being able to offer that representation matters deeply to me. I want clients to see someone who has lived through the fear of becoming the body they were taught to fear and discovered that a full, joyful, healthy life is possible on the other side. I have spent most of my career learning how to bridge the gaps in traditional treatment and challenging the idea that someone has to be “sick enough” to deserve care. I believe everyone deserves to be heard, respected, and supported, especially those most impacted by medical weight stigma and anti-fat bias. My lived experience allows me to offer something that can be difficult to find in healthcare: the experience of being understood by someone who genuinely gets it. I hope clients feel seen, believed, and less alone, while knowing they do not have to shrink themselves to be worthy of care, health, or happiness. Personally, I love spending time with my husband and our four cats, traveling, hiking, thrifting, and building community through self-love events. My current hyperfixations include collecting miniature trinkets, rock hounding, coloring, jigsaw puzzles, and bird watching.

Accessibility Considerations

My office and retreat center are designed to be size-inclusive, ability-inclusive, gender-affirming, and neurodivergent-friendly. There are no stairs to enter the space, and a wheelchair-accessible ramp provides entry directly to the office. We have size and weight-inclusive furniture, a private waiting room for additional comfort and privacy, and gender-neutral bathrooms. The space is intentionally welcoming, with size-inclusive and body-positive artwork and messaging that communicates compassion, acceptance, and respect for all bodies. We also consider sensory and neurodivergent accessibility, including low-stimulation spaces, natural and adjustable lighting, accessible fidget options, and room to move around as needed. We welcome and encourage clients to share accessibility needs and accommodations during registration for events so we can plan ahead whenever possible. We are also attentive to food allergies, dietary needs, and preferences. Staff and event support personnel are expected to practice inclusive, respectful care, and events are planned with accessibility and individual needs in mind. If you have a specific accessibility concern or accommodation need, I encourage you to reach out before your visit so we can work together to make the experience as comfortable and accessible as possible!
