Ivy, The Body Relationship Coach.

I help you make PEACE with your BODY so you can THRIVE in your life. EVERY PERSON DESERVES TO BE AT PEACE IN THEIR OWN BODY. YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

If you are frustrated with society dictating what the ideal body is. If you know that you want to embrace your own body and learn to love it on your own terms. If your well-being is important to you, but you refuse to starve yourself on diet plans or punish yourself through exercises you hate. If you are eager to begin your journey to thrive in life, rather than just survive. I'M HERE TO HELP.

If this year stretched you, challenged you, or asked more of your body than you expected, you are not behind. You adapted in the ways your body needed, and that is a form of wisdom.

So many of us move through the year believing we should have done more or been more, especially if we’re living with chronic illness, carrying stress in a marginalized body, or navigating the constant pressure to “push through.” But the truth is that adaptation is not failure. It’s resilience. It’s awareness. It’s your body doing everything it can to protect you.

Honoring the year you lived means being honest about what it took to survive the hard moments. It means recognizing the quiet courage it required to keep moving, to rest when you needed to, and to choose yourself even on the days your energy was limited. Those choices matter. They’re a part of your healing, your nervous system care, and your body relationship.

If you’re longing for more ease and peace as you move into the next season, I have supportive tools available that can meet you gently where you are. You can explore them through the link in my bio whenever you feel ready.

There comes a moment when your body knows before your mind does.

When being in certain spaces, conversations, or relationships no longer feels neutral, but draining. When your nervous system tightens. When your spirit feels disrupted instead of supported.

Choosing to step away from prolonged exposure to people and environments that disturb your energy is not avoidance. It is a healing practice. It is self-trust in action.

We deserve to consistently dwell in spaces that feel nourishing, peaceful, and supportive of our wholeness, especially for those of us navigating chronic illness, marginalized identities, and bodies that are too often asked to endure more than they should.

Protecting your peace is devotion to your well-being.
Honoring your capacity is care.
Listening to your body is wisdom.

This is wellness too.

If this year didn’t look the way you hoped, it doesn’t mean it was wasted.
Not all growth is loud, visible, or easy to point to.
Sometimes growth looks like rest.
Sometimes it looks like choosing boundaries you didn’t have before.
Sometimes it looks like slowing down, softening your expectations, or simply surviving a season that stretched your body and your capacity.

For those of us living with chronic illness or carrying the burdens of stress in marginalized bodies, growth rarely looks like constant momentum.
It often shows up in the quiet choices, the days you honored your energy, the moments you listened to your body’s cues, and the courage it took to say no instead of pushing through.

That kind of growth isn’t flashy, but it is powerful.

You did more internal work than you realize this year.
You cared for yourself in ways people may never see.
You rebuilt trust with your body in small, meaningful ways.
Honor that. Celebrate that. Quiet growth is still growth.

If you’re ready to move into the next season with more gentleness and support, I have resources to help you reconnect with your body and create more ease.

You can explore them through the link in my bio whenever it feels right for you.

There’s so much pressure to sprint into the next chapter.
But your body might be asking for a slower entrance. A gentler landing.

This season can bring urgency, expectations, and the familiar push to change everything at once. For those living with chronic illness, limited capacity, or the weight of everyday survival in a marginalized body, that pressure can feel especially heavy.

Your worth has never depended on quick change, forced routines, or dramatic resolutions. You do not have to prove anything to enter a new year. You do not have to shrink, perfect, or perform wellness to be deserving of care.

Your nervous system benefits from slow transitions. Your body benefits from ease. Your spirit benefits from choosing a pace that honors the truth of your lived experience.
Arriving gently is a form of wellness. It is stress management. It is body liberation. It is inclusive, accessible self care at its core.

Let yourself move into this next season in a way that reflects who you are, not who the world expects you to be. Your body is allowed to soften its way forward. Your pace is allowed to be different.

If you’re exploring how to enter the new year with more peace and less pressure, I have supportive tools available for you. You can find them through the link in my bio whenever it feels right for you.

12/10/2025

We’ve been sold a version of wellness that leaves so many of us feeling exhausted and unseen.
The kind that demands discipline, perfection, and endless pushing.
But if you’re living in a marginalized body, you already know that story was never written for you.

Real wellness feels different.
It feels like tending to your capacity instead of ignoring it.
It feels like slowing down when your body whispers, “enough.”
It feels like saying no without apology.
It feels like choosing compassion over pressure.
It feels like building a relationship with your body that is honest, supportive, and rooted in care rather than control.

This is the wellness no one talks about.
The kind that creates room for freedom.
The kind that honors your truth.
The kind that asks you to return to yourself, again and again.

As you read this, what part of your wellness practice is asking for gentleness today?

12/06/2025

Have you noticed how loudly your inner critic speaks when you’re simply trying to get through the day?
So much of our stress isn’t coming from what we’re doing.
It comes from how we speak to ourselves while we’re doing it.

As we move deeper into December’s season of reflection, this is your reminder that peace begins with gentleness toward yourself.
When compassion replaces criticism, everything shifts.
Your body softens.
Your mind settles.
Your breath deepens.

Let this be the month where judgment loosens its grip and tenderness takes root.
Softness is not weakness. It is the beginning of real well-being.

Where can you speak to yourself with more kindness today?

12/03/2025

If your body feels tired right now, you’re not alone.

As we enter December, this is our moment to pause long enough to witness ourselves.
Not through the lens of productivity.
Not through the lens of perfection.
Through the lens of truth.

This month invites us to look back and notice the many ways our bodies carried us through the year. The grief and the joy. The flare ups and the calm moments. The heavy days and the small victories. Honoring the year you lived isn’t about perfection. It’s about acknowledging the quiet, resilient ways your body stayed with you and for you.

If you’re craving more gentleness and guidance as you move through this season, I have supportive tools available for you. You can explore them through the link in my bio whenever you’re ready.

It’s okay if you don’t love your body.
That truth alone can feel like a breath of fresh air.

We live in a world that insists we jump straight to “love,” even when we’re still untangling years of messages, hurt, pressure, or chronic illness fatigue. But body love isn’t the only path. It isn’t even the starting point for most of us.

Sometimes the most compassionate place to begin is neutrality. Or gentleness. Or the simple choice to stop fighting your body for one moment at a time.

Your body doesn’t need perfection from you. It doesn’t need constant praise. It doesn’t even need you to feel ready for love. What it needs is space to exist without judgment, comparison, or urgency.

Healing begins when we allow ourselves to be honest about where we are.
And if where you are today is “I don’t love my body,” you’re still deserving of care, rest, and respect.

You’re allowed to be on a path that unfolds slowly, softly, and in your own way.

Warmly holding space for you as you navigate your own relationship with your body.

11/27/2025

Holiday gatherings can be full of warmth, but they can also stir up old stories about our bodies. One comment at the dinner table can pull us into doubt, even after all the peace we’ve been building within ourselves.

If this happens to you, just remember:
Your body is not a conversation topic.
Your peace is not up for negotiation.
Your worth is not defined by anyone’s passing comment.

You get to honor the relationship you’ve been creating with your body. You get to hold onto the trust you’ve been nurturing. And you get to choose the care, the boundaries, and the compassion that support you through this season.

May you move through this time with softness, clarity, and deep self-trust.

11/21/2025

We’re told to love our bodies, but so often, that love is framed around how we look.

What if we let go of appearance as the measure of worth?
What if celebration looked like...
“I made space to rest today.”
“I listened when my body asked for water, for movement, for stillness.”
“I chose softness over self-criticism.”

Celebrating our bodies doesn’t have to be tied to beauty.
It can be rooted in presence.
In the way we show up for ourselves with care, especially on the days that feel heavy.

It might sound like…
Thank you, body, for holding me.
Thank you for your quiet strength.
Thank you for still being here.

This kind of celebration isn’t flashy. It doesn’t require confidence.
It asks only for honesty, tenderness, and a moment of attention.

So tell me, what’s one way you’ve celebrated your body lately that had nothing to do with how it looks?

Let’s talk about this. My version of "healthy" is not the same as yours.

That’s not a flaw. That’s biology.
There is biodiversity in our bodies: different genetics, lived experiences, and needs that can’t be reduced to one-size-fits-all definitions of “health.”

Traditional wellness spaces and diet culture often ignore this truth.

They teach us that our bodies should all look, feel, and function the same.
That health has one path, one shape, one pace.

But I believe every body carries its own unique coding.
And to care for your body in a way that’s true to you, you have to learn how to speak its language.

So how do you know what your body needs?

You learn it.
You listen to it.
You build a RELATIONSHIP with it.

That’s where liberation begins.

It can feel like a big task.
It can also be deeply empowering to step outside social expectations and reconnect with your body on your terms.

Does this sound like the health and wellness perspectives you've been looking for?

Let's explore more of this together!
