To my surprise, learning to love my body transformed more than one aspect of my life.
My journey of self-love began in 2018 following a toxic relationship. Which lead me to want MORE out of my life and work to reclaim my power and my true self. Along this path of self-discovery, I’ve learned to love myself, embrace my body, and connect with my voice & spirituality. Over the years, I’ve participated in several photoshoots (just for me!), as well as used the following tools: therapy, coaching, yoga, dancing, meditation, spirituality, witchcraft, living cyclically, and doing what brings me real joy.. These avenues have led me to a more confident, positive, aligned, and authentic lifestyle. This has inspired me to help others on their own journeys.
And what brought me to having confidence, courage, and actually WANTING a happier life - started with the concept of loving my body.
There were times when I struggled, especially when I gained weight or felt overwhelmed. It was hard to accept my own challenges with my mission to help others love their bodies. Body positivity didn’t always feel real or helpful during these tough moments.
One day, lying naked on a rock in nature, I felt an incredible sense of peace. I wasn’t worried about how I looked; I was simply connected to my body and the world around me. Nature showed me that true beauty and self-worth come from within and from embracing all aspects of life.
This experience taught me to appreciate myself fully and to find beauty in every stage of my journey. After working with over 300 women through boudoir photography, experiencing my own ups & downs in life and body image I’ve learned some important lessons:
🌻 It’s not about how I look — but how I feel inside.
🌱 Chasing a "perfect" or" "sexy" image wasn’t sustainable or true to who I am.
❤️🔥 I was actually disconnected from my true self… and ended up looking for validation in the wrong places.
