My Journey to Self-Love
Let’s take it all the way back-- I was always a high achiever in grade school. Great test-taker, straight A’s, involved in clubs and sports, all while maintaining a busy social life. I got a scholarship to the university of my dreams, and eventually got my Bachelor’s in Psychology with a 3.7 GPA. On the outside, I had everything I needed to succeed in anything I wanted in life-- at the time, that was going to graduate school and becoming a therapist.
On the inside, I was engaging in disordered eating, not allowing myself to get too close to friends, and blocking love from my life.
I used to believe I had no excuse for any lack of forward movement in my life-–in fact, I felt I had no "good" reason to have an eating disorder, so I should just be able to quit. I would create these huge goals for myself and wonder why I could never reach them. I would decide that “tomorrow” was the day I would start eating the "perfect" diet, hitting the gym 5 days a week, and becoming the person I was “supposed” to be.
I was never happy with how I looked or my performance. Although I liked myself as a person, I was filled with self-judgment and self-sabotage.
And that led to a lot of confusion-- wondering why a person as capable as myself seemed to never be able to take steps forward. I struggled silently for 5 years. For 5 years I believed that the next day would magically bring my solution, only to let myself down again, and again, and again. It wasn’t until I finally sought support from a professional that I realized how poorly I was treating myself on an internal level. Thus, my healing journey began.
Since then, I’ve expanded on my original dream of supporting folks as a therapist, becoming a certified life coach, speaker, mentor, and healer. It is both heart-filling and humbling to realize that I have become the support that I needed when I sought help.
When I found a helping professional to help me mend my relationship with food, I wanted tools. I wanted practices that I could do at home to bolster my healing path.
While my therapist did a great job of getting me started, I felt like I wanted more than she offered. When I became certified in my coaching program, I was moved to tears because I knew THIS was what I had needed. THIS was the work I wished I had found earlier.
As a coach and healer, I introduce my clients to universal principles, teachings on our greatness, why we deserve the best, and wellness and self-care practices that work!
My work with them promotes inner healing, forward movement, and lays a strong foundation that won't crumble under the weight of life.
If any of the following apply to you, we could be a great fit to work together!
​
Deciding what to eat is an inner battle that leaves you exhausted, mad at yourself, or feeling guilty-- you want to eat "healthy" but those "bad" foods just seem to hijack your brain!
​
Do you hear the phrase, “Love yourself!” and you don’t know what that even means or looks like?
Do you hear, “You can be anything,” or, “You can do anything you put your mind to!”
and don’t understand why or how?
Do you feel obligated to help others when you are asked, yet find it terrifying to ask someone else for help?
Do you contort yourself to keep those around you happy? To be acceptable?
Do you feel like you have major work to do in this life, impactful passions, yet you can't seem to get it together or move forward?
You know you’re a good person, but you don’t know how to build the self-love and self-support that is foundational for building your best life.
​
You’re intelligent and passionate in your beliefs, yet those traits aren’t translating to success.
​
Perhaps every time you receive feedback or “constructive criticism” you feel attacked and insecure.
You know you’re meant for more greatness, a more expansive and expressed life–and you're tired of wondering what’s holding you back and are ready to move forward in life!
You hear that you’re supposed to love and accept your body, but you’re also supposed to look a certain way… the mixed messaging is confusing, and you just end up preoccupied with not feeling good enough-- pretty enough, sexy enough, confident enough, whatever it may be. You feel like once you change your body or personality, THEN you will be able to have the things you want in life?
​
You used to feel so vivacious and full of life, and you wonder where those feelings have gone. Maybe you’ve heard it’s all downhill from here, or that aging means “getting old,” and this is just how it goes after 25. Yet something in you is telling you it doesn’t have to be this way.
​
Perhaps you feel like you know how to be healthy, but it's really difficult to make yourself do those things.
​
​
My clients come to me with many different challenges they wish to overcome, but they all have one thing in common:
They are Ready to Reconnect with their Bodies, Spirits, and Higher Selves.
Together, we will dismantle those limiting beliefs
so you can claim your happiness and joy-- NOW!
