Weight loss is a strange facet of our lives. I believe in Health at Every Size and am actively doing my own work to decolonize and understand the internalized fatphobia we've all been taught, but what about when you still want to change your own image? I'm here to help make a plan for what this looks like, in a healthy and intentional way. I have a background working with folks with eating disorders, so we can explore all the aspects of loosing weight and how they may be impacting you.
Are you emotional eating? Is your portion size too large? Do you eat too much sugar? When you diet and use your willpower to try and change your eating but then something happens and you go off of your diet and you don't know why. In hypnotherapy there is a saying "it's not what you are eating, it's what's eating you." With hypnosis we will uncover why you are doing what you are doing and then we will have you replace unhealthy habits with health ones so that you can let go of the unwanted weight.
Being a full figured BIPOC weight loss at different times in life have been very challenging and an ongoing issue. We are all a work in progress. It can be daunting to be kind to yourself when you struggle with the way you see yourself in this society. Many labels exist and we as humans will accept the labels given to us at times in our lives. There is a little monster in our heads that tells us we are NOT ENOUGH. Take a step towards healing how you see your body and flick that monster off your shoulder because YOU ARE ENOUGH.

I use cognitive-behavioral techniques to help with weight loss efforts. These powerful and proven therapeutic techniques can be a strong component of any weight loss plan. We can also mix in other techniques, including narrative therapy and mindfulness.
