To live a life that feels like it’s dripping with warm honey 🍯

To do delicious things that scare me. To help other women feel liberated, too.

Not too long ago I would have *never* posted this picture. My shame story said: No!Absolutely not. Your body doesn’t deserve to be put on display.

Guess what?

I was wrong.

And now my job is (amongst other things) to help women feel so safe and so comfortable in their bodies that they can post nekked photos of themselves on the internet, too.

But really. That’s my job.

I want a world where women let go of the stories our bodies hold that tell us we’re not good enough. Or thin enough. Or curvy enough. Or worthy enough. Or {insert blank} enough to experience joy and pleasure and freedom in our bodies right here and right now.

There’s honestly no way to describe the liberation of being truly *seen* when you’re naked.

Last weekend, I witnessed 9 women decide that actually, yes, their body is more than enough. It deserves to be moved, touched, nourished, and photographed exactly
And it deserves it right now.Hot Springs, NC called Let Your Body Speak, and that’s what we all did.

We giggled and played and released years (lifetimes) of stories that our beautiful bodies were holding onto.

I watched women strip down in front of each other and in front of @ladygroove and I got to watch them admire each other and realize: hey we’re each beautiful and unique!

I got to witness them embodying their bodies.

I’ve learned a lot about bodies in the last few years. I’ve learned how to teach yoga to them. I’ve learned how to coach them (somatically). I’ve learned how to watch and observe them. I’ve even learned a bit of anatomy! And I’ve learned how to (truly) embody mine.

You deserve a loving relationship with your body.

We all do.

Wanna join the body party next time? I’ll be launching my 2024 retreat schedule later this month. I work one-on-one with women, too. Ooh! And I lead monthly women’s circles in Rome. Send me a message and let’s chat 💛
