Meet Emma
I know what it’s like to be at war with your own body…
You have been warring with your body image for years, maybe decades. You’ve been struggling with yo-yo diets and exercise for just as long. Some of these “healthy” behaviors are actually not feeling so healthy for your state of mind. In fact, they leave you feeling MORE self-conscious! But, you can’t help but get sucked back in to Diet Land- again and again and again.
Why? because we are living in a society that is SATURATED with the thin ideal, and that condemns natural body size diversity. REAL bodies are seen by many as something to be hidden, or worse, fixed. Even by our friends, families, our health care workers and therapists! Given how many of our peers fear real bodies, it would actually be kinda shocking if you DIDN’T have poor self-image…
My name is Emma (pronouns: She/Her) and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHC-A) and Certified Nutritionist (CN) in Seattle, WA. My down-to-earth style is grounded in Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size, and fat-positive feminism. I help thoughtful, driven femmes and women stop trying to tame their bodies, and instead tune into their hearts and bellies, and proudly take up some space!
If you’re ready to start feeling good in your skin, drop me a note in the message box for your free 20-minute phone consultation, and I will help you develop an approach to eating, moving, and grooving that makes sense for YOU.
