MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
As someone who works around sexuality one of the most common issues I confront is body image issues and Body Dismorphia. I work with many Trans people in various stages of gender transformation who have issues with truly stepping into their new gender identity, feeling comfortable in their bodies. Using both hypnosis as well as hands on work, I help them more fully embrace their new identities, love their bodies more.

Viewpoint Calgary Psychological Services
Psychologist, RPsych
Living with constant self-criticism, appearance-related distress, or body dysmorphia can make you feel like you're in an endless war with yourself. When societal standards and harsh internal dialogue dictate how you view your worth, simply moving through the day can feel exhausting.
You deserve to inhabit your body without judgment, shame, or the pressure to constantly "fix" how you look.
At Viewpoint Psychological Services in Calgary, we offer a compassionate, weight-inclusive space to help you heal your relationship with your body image and self-perception. We use evidence-based, non-judgmental approaches to help you unpack the root causes of body distress, step off the cycle of comparison, and reconnect with who you truly are.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Shift Your Self-Perception: Untangle your self-worth from critical mirrors and unrealistic expectations, building a view of yourself rooted in genuine self-compassion.
- Cultivate Body Neutrality & Acceptance: Shift your focus from treating your body as an ornament to be judged to respecting it as the vehicle through which you experience life.
- Build Emotional Resilience: Develop practical strategies to navigate triggers, quiet harsh internal dialogue, and find lasting peace in your daily life.
You don’t have to stay stuck in a cycle of self-criticism. Let’s work together to move toward body neutrality, respect, and a deeper sense of peace within yourself.
