20+ year ED recovery and survivor. I spent many years of my life disconnected and disassociated from myself and my body. In healing from my eating disorder, I learned to come back home to me and really tap into the magic and wisdom that lives within.

Now I get to support other women in claiming this for themselves. Through 1:1 coaching sessions and embodiment practices, I support women in reconnecting to their truth, power and intuition, enabling them to truly live the life of their dreams.
