THIS is self-love

The love notes in this week’s newsletter are from my people — my incredible clients. I don’t ask for these emails. I don’t have to; and that’s not why I do this work, anyway. They just appear like angels and miracles in my inbox. These aren’t just “gym stories.” These are love stories. You can [...]

Thank you, please drive through.

“Can I get a strawberry smoothie? And a small order of fries?” That was me, sometime in 2010, ordering my “usual” at the McDonald’s drive-thru down the road from our house. One of my habits around that time was to pick up my daughter, Grace, from the carpool line at her school and drive to [...]

Coming in September: It’s time to Level Up

COMING IN SEPTEMBER: It’s time to LEVEL UPThis month, I was honored to be featured in a local magazine with women from all over my city. We shared our unique stories about how we take care of ourselves, as well as (we hope) inspiration and motivation for other women to create a lifelong friendship with [...]

Mining your diamond mind

Here’s what happens when my clients decide to choose feeling “engaged” with their lives versus “comfortable.” In our sessions, clients will often give me a laundry list of reasons for why they aren’t taking care of themselves and their bodies the way they say they want to.

Self-help doesn’t always come from a book

I work with so many women who have gotten tired of dealing with their bodies in frustration, shame, and confusion.

What if [...]

I usually wind down on Fridays and take in the weekend, but I couldn’t let go of the work day without writing about yet ANOTHER miracle session with one [...]

Meghan Markle: Moving Forward Versus Being “Given Away”

I was among millions of people last week who were obsessed with the wedding of Prince Harry of Wales and American actress Meghan Markle. The wedding was beautiful and had meaning beyond what I’d originally expected. It was a cultural event, and even though it was seen by millions, it was the intimate story of [...]

“I want to feel beautiful in my body” and a gift for you

It’s the time of season… It’s happening again. The last time I noticed it was right after Christmas.
