I grew up uncomfortable in my own skin, at war with my body, wondering if I would ever like the girl—and later the woman—whose reflection I saw every day in the mirror. Ultimately, I figured out a way that worked for me. I stopped looking for approval through others’ eyes and found the courage to take up space and make my voice heard. 

I started One Girl Wellness to help you benefit from my experience, so you can put your energy into creating a life, not judging it (and yourself) solely by pounds or calories. To treat your body as the splendid work of art it is. To respect its function and learn to love it.

It’s not easy to shed self-destructive habits, I know. It can be hard to see through the darkness and find your way. But you can do it. And I can help.
