Hypnotherapist, Licensed RTT Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotist, Duke Certified Health Coach, Spiritual Counselor
With body issues I work with the client to navigate get clarity and find the root cause to the body image issues. From there we use methods to help restore a positive body image.
I have years of experience in assisting individuals with distorted body images to help one improve their self-esteem and develop a healthy relationship with self as well as others.
Poor body image often goes hand-in-hand with eating disorders or disordered eating. I help clients challenge their faulty beliefs about their body so they can learn to love, accept and respect the body that they live in.

I understand the complex relationship many individuals have with body image, influenced by cultural standards, societal pressures, and personal experiences. My journey has shaped my commitment to helping others navigate their body image struggles in a supportive and culturally sensitive environment. At Corazon Y Aire, I specialize in addressing body image issues by integrating cultural insights that resonate with the BIPOC community. I recognize the impact of cultural beauty ideals, familial expectations, and media portrayals on how we perceive ourselves. Through compassionate dialogue and empowering therapeutic practices, I work to challenge negative self-perceptions, fostering a healthier relationship with one’s body.
Having had personal experience with body issues as well as anorexia nervosa when I was a teenager, I have special consideration for those suffering with body distortions. Exploring these issues, I implore psychodynamic principles to help clients better understand the roots of where these issues developed, helping them to further grasp the function these distortions may serve, while also teaching them better ways to relate to their bodies- such as incorporating intuitive eating and observing while also directing clients how to have recorrective experiences with how they can perceive self through healthier lenses.
