HOLISTIC BODY IMAGE THERAPY
Through my therapy practice, I provide a safe and supportive environment for my clients to heal, grow and rediscover their personal power.
I take a holistic approach to address body image disturbances and disordered eating, incorporating an array of therapeutic techniques including hypnotherapy, plant-based journeys, coaching, mindfulness, and reparenting (i.e. healing the inner child). Through our recovery work together, I will guide and support you as you develop coping skills, learn intuitive eating, enhance emotional intelligence, and address and heal from past traumas. My goal is to help you step into your power, and to support you as you learn to love the body you have.
