“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
Does this sound familiar?
-You go through periods of dieting/restricting and bingeing, feeling out of control around food. You’re exhausted by constant thoughts and rules about food and your body.
-Your beliefs about how you look in the mirror or what the scale tells you can make or break your mood.
-Your thoughts are racing with worry, and you are struggling to relax your mind and cope with your anxiety.
-You’re pregnant or a new mom and you’re not enjoying this time how you hoped you would- you thought you would feel happy and connected to your baby, but instead you feel anxious, empty, overwhelmed, and you have thoughts filled with self-doubt and dread.
-You are trying to conceive or have experienced pregnancy loss, and you’re having a hard time coping or knowing where to turn.
-You’re a teen/college student who’s overwhelmed, and doesn’t know what to do to feel better or how to cope with the immense stress you’re feeling.
-You feel guilty setting boundaries, try to avoid being selfish at all costs, and find yourself over-apologizing.
-You’re the parent or caregiver of a teen and you’re worried because your kid isn’t acting like themself and you know they’re struggling.
Life can be challenging, but you don’t have to suffer.
There is another way.
Together, we can help you feel better; to come out the other side of your pain, and explore ways to feel like yourself again.
The life you want is possible.
“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
