For most of us, how we feel about our relationship to photos remains unspoken, remains in our head in the tone of our inner critic. Or comes out in moments when we say "I hate getting my photo taken" or when we react to a photo.

 

For many of us, our relationship to our body through the lens takes up LOTS of brain space. But the powerful thing is that once we release them, once we let them be heard, once we listen to ourselves tell our own body story...we are no longer alone in those thoughts.

 

As a Body Trust Coach, I'm here to support you in telling your body story, in releasing those thoughts and in shifting those judgements about yourself towards a place of neutrality. 

 

I specialize in our relationship to our body in photos and our reactions we have to them though I'm happy to support you in any aspect of your relationship to your body image. In fact, we always dig into more than just our relationship to photos as it is deeply tied to how we perceive our body image as a whole.

 

You might find yourself here because you:

• Avoid being in or looking at photos of yourself

• You have done work around your relationship to food, body and ditching diet culture but feel like it all rushes back when you see photo of yourself

• You are missing from the visual story of your life

• You struggle with your relationship to photos and feel disconnected from the person looking back at you

 

Photos are often the 'final frontier' of our body acceptance path. They often hold tight to the old stories about how we have felt about our body in the past. Thankfully, becausethey are often so challenging, they are also a doorway to shedding those old stories.

 

We will co-create a space where we may explore:

• Your can rewrite your body story and reclaim your voice back from your inner critic

• Help you move forward in your relationship to your body image

• Rebuild a sense of body trust and self-trust

• Cultivate body image resilience

• Deconstruct the diet culture lens that you've been taught to see yourself through 

• Dismantling the fatpbobia and weight stigma we've placed on our self-image in our photos

• Exploring body grief around your present body

• Find more body neutrality including in your relationship to photos

• Stepping more fully into your own life and letting go of the ways their critical voice has held you back

 

Our work might be rooted in our relationship to photos and use the camera as a tool for self-discovery and other times we'll be digging into other tools to support your journey.

 

My work is rooted in the Health at Every Size (HAES) paradigm, the Body Trust Framework I was trained in, Trauma Informed Coaching and Therapeutic Photography. At the heart of all of these is the believe that you are already worthy, you are already enough and the work is to dismantle the biases and beliefs that get in the way of us truly seeing that.

 

I see you as whole & worthy and I see you through a lens that has worked hard to dismantle my own biases (and is always learning).

 

I'd love to work with you in one of the options below to shift your relationship with yourself through the lens and support your body acceptance path as a whole.
