Body Liberation & Life Coaching: Who I Work With

Sometimes people ask me about my ‘typical’ body liberation and life coaching client. Here's what I say:

I work with a wide range of folks including people who are:

• in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50, 60s, and 70s

• primarily women, but people across the whole gender spectrum (including men)

• Black, white, Asian, Latinx, and multiracial

• fat, thin, plus-size, "I don't know what size I am," and "my size keeps changing"

• Able-bodied and disabled

• working, middle and owning class

• living all over the U.S.

This is not an aspirational list; it's who I have actually worked with.

What kind of coaching?

• Body Liberation Coaching: About 60% of my clients are Body Liberation Coaching clients; people working on healing the relationship to food and body

• Life Coaching: 40% are life/professional/career coaching clients; people who are working towards goals around their jobs, art, activism, and relationships

• Combo: Several clients do a little of both

I'm proud of having such diverse clientele, but I'm not saying this to toot my own horn. I'm sharing this because if you've wondered if I work with someone like you, the answer is: likely yes, and you can schedule a free intro call to find out if we'd be a good fit.

What to expect from Body Liberation coaching and Life coaching with me:

• Personalized notes: After every session I send key notes, takeaways and homework (if desired). Some clients enjoy looking back at their old notes and seeing how far they've come.

• Flexible timing: Have you ever been in therapy and had a big realization only to have the session end 1 minute later? My coaching sessions last between 45-60 minutes, and I don't book back to back, which means if you need a little extra time, you get it.

• An accountability buddy/loving challenger/cheerleader: I'm here to help you hold the big vision of what you're going for. I make it my job to remember your hopes, dreams, challenges and values. I listen closely and ask the questions you might not ask yourself.

• A teacher: When it comes to body liberation coaching, I don't just let you flounder. I offer videos and worksheets and solid facts to help ground our coaching.

• Sacred space: Before each session I meditate on who you are, who you're becoming, and what an honor it is to know you. I remember that you are so much more than "my client." You are a whole universe.

• Zoom-free time, if desired: Most of my 1:1 sessions take place by phone. Clients say they come to love the experience of taking coaching calls from a hammock, a bed, or while walking or stretching.

• Communication between sessions: You are always welcome to text or email between sessions. I've been known to send supportive messages or even surprise gifts in the mail.
