“And I said to my body, softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a long breath and replied, ‘I have been waiting my whole life for this.’”

Nayyirah Waheed

If any of these resonate with you…

-The negative thoughts you have about your body can completely wreck your mood and deplete your confidence in an instant

-You’re exhausted from yo-yo dieting, obsessing about food and feeling out of control around it, and have tried “all the things” (including therapy in the past), but can’t seem to stop the restrict/binge cycle

-You know you’re anxious, stressed, or depressed. It’s affecting your daily life, relationships, school/work, but you can’t figure out why or what to do to feel better and are feeling stuck

-You’re pregnant or postpartum, and you don’t feel like yourself. You’re struggling with your changing body, you’re anxious, feeling overwhelmed, missing your “old life”, and likely constantly feeling guilty for the thoughts you have

-You’re a parent of young kids and struggling with self-care with little to no village to help, carrying the mental load for the family, balancing “it all”, and trying to heal from your own childhood while raising your kids

-You’re going through pregnancy loss or pregnancy anxiety after loss, and it’s affecting your mental health, but no one really “gets it”

-You’re a college student or recent grad who is struggling with what comes next?, stressed out by so much at once (school, job, friends, relationships, self-care), anxious about the future, moving back home, etc.

…Then please know a few things:

YOU DESERVE TO LIVE A WONDERFUL LIFE.

Something is wrong, but nothing is wrong with you.

I’ve really been there, I get it.
I know the depths of the struggle, and how possible it is to make it to the other side.

I’m going to help you overcome these struggles so you can live the life you want to again.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

— Anais Nin
