I have a deep passion for teaching people how to truly love their bodies. My mission is to be part of a Revolution where we can all finally stop hating our incredible bodies and learn to honor and care for them. To that end, I offer Individual Sessions, Couples Sessions, Family Sessions and Monthly Articles.

Please join me in the Body Beloved Revolution! It’ll change your life.

INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS:

If you come in for private sessions, I will work with you on body image issues, eating disorders, disordered eating, and other ways you hurt your body. You will:

• Transform outdated and distorted beliefs that can create critical and compulsive thinking.
• Heal painful emotions from the past and the present that can overwhelm you.
• Uncover healthy strategies to meet the true needs behind the destructive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
• Develop ways to live in your body with love and peace -this includes doing energy healings and other somatic work.
• Experience being truly seen, heard, and supported, an experience many long for but few get.

Phone sessions also available if you live outside of Boulder County. Phone work can be deep and healing and can meet your needs as well as in-person sessions. For phone sessions, please call (303) 817-6912.

COUPLES SESSIONS:

When a beloved partner struggles with an eating disorder, the couple’s system can become unbalanced and stressed.  In couples therapy you will:

• Learn how to best support each other through this difficult struggle.
• Uncover old beliefs about yourself and your partner that might be impacting the system.
• Learn to communicate lovingly and effectively.
• Discover how to deepen your intimacy.

FAMILY SESSIONS:

Family work is highly valuable if you struggle with body image or eating issues. Research concludes that family therapy is the single most effective tool to heal eating disorders if the client is under 18 and still living at home. As a licensed family therapist, I offer powerful work that will:

• Heal current relationship issues that negatively impact the individual and the family system.
• Uncover and heal past relationship issues that negatively impact the individual and the family system.
• Deepen family members’ ability to be intimate, with themselves and each other.
• Develop healthy and loving patterns of interaction while diminishing over-dependence and/or disengagement.
• Remove the idea of the client as the Identified Patient and discover the deeper systemic needs behind unhealthy behaviors.

ARTICLES:

I offer FREE ARTICLES to further disseminate the Body Beloved philosophy. These include interviews about the Body Beloved philosophy and a monthly blog. I welcome comments and feedback from you as I want all of us to do this work. Whenever one of us learns to love his or her body, we ALL benefit!

WORKSHOPS:

The Body Beloved workshop is another tool I use to I teach the Body Beloved concept, both because it can reach a large audience and because its largely experiential nature can effect the most change. The workshop lasts anywhere from 2 hours to all day and target a variety of groups, including middle and high schools, parents' groups, businesses, churches, and general audiences.
During the workshops, participants learn to:

• Identify the voices which lead them to value their exterior over their interior.
• Recognize and feel the damage that these voices inflict to the Self on a daily basis.
• Move from seeing the Body as a "thing" to be controlled and manipulated to attain exterior success to seeing it as a miraculous system that performs perfectly every second of the day.
• Develop a partnership with their bodies where both the Self's needs and the Body's needs are met, a partnership ruled by the effortlessness of the heart rather than the rigidity of the mind.
