The work towards body sovereignty
What is body sovereignty?
Body sovereignty is the right each human has to their own body. The right to protect, feel, connect, take up space, and to own. It burns bright, rebelling against oppressive and culturally promoted body based ideals, and thrives in autonomous empowerment.
Unfortunately for some of us, this right was not freely given, our fires snuffed out. Are you ready to find your fire and start your journey towards body sovereignty? Click below to schedule via my online booking service.
Body terrorism, the opposite of body sovereignty, is a hideous tower whose primary support beam is the belief that there is hierarchy of bodies. We uphold the system by internalizing this hierarchy and using it to situate our own value and worth in the world

honor our bodies despite how we feel towards its aesthetics?
In order to get to this type of neutrality and respect, it will require you to dive deep into yourself, and allow space to connect and grieve.
Body image work requires time and effort along with consistent practice. Additionally, it involves approaching uncomfortable emotions, thoughts and behavioral changes. In the work, I invite you to explore ways in which trauma and oppression has impacted our bodies and our own participation in body terrorism towards ourselves and others.
