Alexandra scrolling on social media and recognizing her worth beyond the highlight reels that make up the feed.

I started today with a good cry. Just a whole bunch of tears in the car. It wasn’t triggered by anything specific, just a culmination of the pressures and uncertainties weighing on my mind. As I sat there, wiping away the tears, I couldn’t help but think about how different my morning looked compared to […]

Social Media Vs. Reality: Navigating Life Beyond Your Feed

In a world obsessed with appearance and the pursuit of the “perfect” body, it’s easy to fall into the trap of equating health with body size. However, the reality is far more nuanced than the number on a scale or the measurements of your body. The truth is, health has nothing to do with the […]

What is Body Acceptance: Navigating Challenges with Curiosity and Self-Love

Alexandra smiling, holding her pregnant belly soon after begin diagnosed with Gestational diabetes.

When I first embarked on this pregnancy journey, I realized just how much of it was a mystery to me.

There are so many unknowns, so much that we are never taught […]

Unlocking Self-Acceptance and Intuitive Eating: How My Gestational Diabetes Is a Catalyst

Alexandra about to eat at a cupcake, knowing that she will never feel guilt about food again.

Have you ever felt guilty over something you ate? I remember when I used to swear to myself that I would be “better.” I would stop eating sugar, carbs, or [insert food demonized by diet culture]. And when I inevitably ate said food or food group, because let’s be real, you can’t avoid or restrict […]

My New Era of Body Acceptance: Pregnancy

With my recent PCOS and Hypothyroidism diagnosis, this image depicts the optimism with which I approach accepting my body.

The road to body acceptance doesn’t really have a destination. In fact, it’s, arguably, never-ending. I know because not only do I help my clients on that journey every day, I’m on that journey myself. And sometimes life has a way of reminding you of what’s important when you least expect it. Let me explain… […]

Why Is Coaching Such A Big Investment? Let Me Explain!

Alexandra, smiling at her computer, writing this post which focused on the importance of honoring the individual when it come to authentic health.

Authentic Health Can’t Come From A Formula There is no magic formula that makes you healthy, whether is authentic or generic health. No clear cut steps. No foolproof, fail proof diet. Despite everything we have been told.   The answer to authentic health is so much more complicated and simple than that… Wait, whaaa?!  The […]

The Contradiction of Authentic Health: How To Cope Without Magic Formulas

The premise of the Netflix’s reality series Love is Blind certainly sounds interesting. It’s a “social experiment where men and women look for love and get engaged” all before seeing and meeting each other in person. It’s a pretty cool idea, strip away the physical judgements and preconceived bias and ideas people have to see […]
