I have lived in, studied, and worked with bodies that are diverse in all kinds of ways, and have yet to come across one that I don’t utterly respect.

While I hold several different credentials, my work has always centered around a theme: your body is good and you can be trusted with it.

I question social structures that come with expectations about how we think about and treat bodies: who is welcome in fitness spaces, who has access to safe places to move, who workout clothes are tailored to. I hope to help others push back on those social structures, too, so that you can live your life from inside your body instead of scrutinizing it from the outside.

You don’t have to wait for society’s permission to exist as you are; you can choose to revere your body exactly as it is, right now. If you’re not there yet, that’s okay - I will hold the reverence for your body as we work together.
