My Philosophy of Care
My approach to this work is being incredibly present to all that is already whole inside of you. We'll do some deep listening-- to your words, your feelings, and your body, and pull out your creative wisdom. We'll make space for you to grieve what is over-- your old life, your old body-- and then welcome in the beauty of what is here. We'll also probably get pretty silly along the way.
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 really know how to be in relationship with my body. But it hasn't always been like that. 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.
Now I love getting to accompany other folks on the journey.
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.
