My relationship with movement was also complicated, as I saw it as a means to change my body instead of honoring it. Exercise often left me exhausted rather than fulfilled. However, after reading The Body Keeps the Score, I discovered yoga as a powerful tool for reconnecting with my body. This led me to complete a 200-hour yoga teacher training program and deepen my understanding of movement's role in holistic health.

 

After leaving dialysis, I joined a telehealth company where I could implement intuitive eating counseling alongside medical nutrition therapy. In June 2025, I became a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and launched Wildflower Wellness. My journey had come full circle, from battling my own food struggles to empowering others to break free from theirs.

 

After years of practicing intuitive eating, I value my relationship with food, my mind, and my body. I approach them with respect, ensuring I listen to my needs for rest, movement, and nourishment. My mission is to introduce you to the 10 principles of intuitive eating and help you escape the food and body prison I once lived in. Together, we can work toward a healthier, more joyful existence where food fuels rather than controls you, and movement becomes a celebration of your body instead of a punishment. I invite you to join me on this transformative journey - you can learn to trust your body again, and find food freedom.
