Body Acceptance
Healing Your Relationship with Your Body through Somatic Tools
Right now, you’re struggling with…
You feel shame about your body, and it makes you numb to your body’s cues like hunger, thirst, fatigue, and other emotions.
You find yourself working hard to prove yourself because you don’t feel worthy, perfectly imperfect, as you are. Because you’re working so hard to prove your worth, you can’t pay attention to your sensations and feelings.
The enormous energy you spend thinking about, judging, loathing, critiquing your body could be used towards creation, relationships, career building, self-care. When you spend half of your attention thinking about your body, your time for noticing your life slips away.
You carry a lot on your shoulders, including the shame imposed by weight stigma, but you lack the support to let go.
You need a safe space to practice surrendering and receiving support.
Life is a constant struggle inside your body. The feeling of worthlessness permeates every action.
You feel shame participating in activities that seem “meant for” smaller bodies. You feel excluded from living in your body fully and with unapologetic delight.
You don’t feel allowed to have fun or take pleasure in your body.
You don’t create regular space in your life for pleasure, joy and sensuality.
Imagine if...
You were more connected in tune with your body and learned how to accept it as it is...
You had new ways of accessing your own body’s resources for support in a very physical way
You felt that your value is unconditional and unrelated to your shape or size
You were more aware of your own abilities to make an impact in the world and to set boundaries to outside forces that might undermine your confidence in your path
You could experience living in your body fully with unapologetic delight accessing your innate ability to play and experience joy and pleasure.
It’s my job to help you get there.
You were born embodied.
You are born with all of the parts of the self: body, mind and soul connected and united.
Society taught you to see your body as an object and which forced you to disconnect your body from your mind. That disconnection is experienced as trauma.
We can heal that trauma using somatic tools. We’ll focus on experiencing your body from within, fostering integration of all your parts, creating a sense of wholeness and strength. Even in the face of societal pressure to objectify your body.
Having gone through a Body Acceptance journey myself, and with all of my somatic tools that I’ve acquired throughout the years, I’m in a unique position to help you heal your relationship with your body in a way that uses the wisdom of your own body to heal the trauma of body shame.
