In a world full of weight stigma and body positivity movements, it might feel confusing to work on healing your relationship with your body. You may have tried healing your body through listening to those who were supposed to be authorities on “health” but later found out it was all just a marketing scheme. Maybe […]
Balanced. Enlightened. Refreshed. These are the sensations I felt after my first Reiki session. And I can proudly say that I haven’t felt like the same person since. From that day forward, Reiki is one of the most invaluable healing methods on my journey toward contentment and well-being. The Japanese term “Reiki” can quite literally […]
As a therapist, one of my specialties is working with those who suffer from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Over time, something that has become like the sound of nails on a chalkboard has been when people flippantly state, “I’m sooo OCD” because they like their home to be clean and orderly or prefer their pizza without olives […]

Self-compassion seems a bit daunting, doesn’t it? I used to think this included manicures, cheesy Pinterest quotes or telling myself that I was the coolest person on the planet when I looked in the mirror; but for myself, and so many others, that did not feel authentic. When I mention the words “self-compassion,” many clients […]
