About The Body Love Coach

My personal health journey began when I was just a teenager, as my teenage angst took the form of self- deprecating self-talk, negative body image, and an unhealthy relationship with food, my body, and ultimately myself. As I experimented with all sorts of exercise regimes, fad diets, and detox cleanses, I found myself further and further away from being in tune with my body, much less a place of celebrating it or even living in it comfortably. 

My preoccupation with food, ironically enough, led me to pursue studies in nutrition and health as I entered college. My decision did not at first come from a place of appreciation or passion for my health, nor did it come from a particular interest in working in a healthcare setting. My decision made sense because it required me to think deeply, and ultimately differently, about what I was already thinking about – food. My studies eventually helped me to reframe my attitudes towards food, my body, and myself. Spending hours drawing out the chemical reactions of nutrients has a way of making you appreciate the wonderful mechanisms of your body. 

As my relationship with food shifted, so did my relationship with every aspect of my wellness. I began to truly practice self-love, ate with intention, found movement that I enjoyed, balanced work and friendships, and connected more deeply with my sense of purpose and spirituality. 

This health journey transformation is perhaps one that sounds familiar to you. You may have found yourself amidst health, family, or lifestyle changes that allow you to look at your values and goals, and take steps towards your optimum health. Helping others not only achieve their goals, but thrive during each step of their transformation, is why I became a health coach, and why I hope to have the opportunity to work with you towards your living a life of joy, balance, holistic wellness.
