And I am so glad you’re here.

Let me ask you this- have you ever been told:

“It’s just in your head”

I have, more times than I care to admit. From very early on, I was fostered to believe that whatever I was feeling in my body was “not that bad,” “not a big deal,” or “just in my head.”

This consistent message of invalidation seeped into every area of my life, and stayed with me well into adulthood. I felt that I couldn’t trust my own judgement and intuition, I couldn’t trust the doctors that were supposed to be helping me, and scariest of all- I couldn’t trust my body to support me and function how I needed it to.

While the path to healing and learning what my body needed was long, and at times so unbearable, I’m eternally grateful for these experiences in the way that they have shaped and inspired me.

I see the insecure, anxious, sick teenager, whose dysregulated nervous system was absolutely running the show. I see the college freshman that dove headfirst into an eating disorder (and subsequently- depression) in an attempt to gain control of her life. And I see the adult workaholic who completely lost her sense of self and purpose, stuck in a life that didn’t serve her.

This is my why.

I know what it’s like to feel dismissed by doctors, gaslit by loved ones, and pressured to believe that I’m the problem. But I now know that the keys to unlocking the path to be my healthiest, most authentic self were within me all along. Just like they’re within you.
