Some time ago I began to experience symptoms that I couldn't explain. I woke up still tired. I didn't have the energy to participate in everyday activities. I started to gain weight. I turned to the medical community to help me with my symptoms and became extremely frustrated as time and time again I was told to eat less, exercise more and avoid carbs. ​ It wasn't until years later and thousands of dollars in medical costs spent that I found the answers I needed. My symptoms were not tied to a scale or a restrictive diet plan or a pair of jogging shoes. I learned that my personal biochemistry was imbalanced. All of the advice to lose weight to make myself feel better led to further weight gain and feeling worse about myself. Everything was upside down and backwards. ​ My experiences are not unique. As I work with clients every day who are increasingly exasperated with the "one size fits all" approach to health and wellness, I am driven to spread the message that your size is not the problem that needs to be fixed. You are allowed to seek better health without being dismissed based solely on your size. You are worth the effort of healing and guidance without being shamed. ​ Too often people feel their symptoms are all in their head, or that their experiences in their body are not worthy of treatment. We treat our bodies as the enemy, and feel if we worked harder we would finally be free of these problems. Problems we may have been led to believe we invented, or are problems we caused on our own. You deserve to be heard. Your experiences are real. ​ I believe in Health at Every Size (HAES). I believe in a weight neutral approach. I believe in taking the shame out of eating. I believe that your shape is not an indicator of your overall wellbeing. I believe all bodies deserve nourishment. And I believe that everyone deserves to feel good.
