The weight we carry emotionally can be just as heavy as anything we carry in our hands.

That’s the idea behind our Losing the Weight workshops—a chance to explore what you’re carrying, what no longer belongs to you, and what it might feel like to begin putting some of it down.

This is not about shrinking your body; this is about releasing the heavy feelings that we have been carrying for far too long.

There’s a different kind of weight we carry that is heavy and uncomfortable. It's often confused with feeling bad in our physical body, but the weight is often not physical... it's emotional.

The Weight of Body-Shame. Grief. Guilt. Anxiety. Perfectionism. Expectations. People-Pleasing. Depression.

The weight we carry emotionally can become just as exhausting as the weight we carry physically.

That’s the idea behind our Losing the Weight workshops—a chance to explore what you’re carrying, what no longer belongs to you, and what it might feel like to begin putting some of it down.

This IS NOT about shrinking your body.

It’s about changing your relationship with yourself.
