Hey, I'm Emerald (She/her)

You look in the mirror and your heart drops. You tell yourself forced words of kindness and drudge on with the day, wishing to feel confident, secure, likeable, and positive. You do your best to stick to the plan, and for the most part you do, but at the end of the day you find yourself caving into the behaviour you're desperately trying to change. The cycle continues and your self-esteem, positive self- image, and self worth start to waver as the goal to reach the ‘new you’ seems further and further away. You want to be proud of yourself, your actions, your look, and your future. You know you can do it, but the repetitive disappointment can feel hopeless, and even traumatizing.

As someone who has lost over 100 pounds, I work with individuals in accepting themselves in how they are, their strengths, accomplishments, beauties, and uglies. You are the expert of your life, and your future, it would be a privilege to work with you along the way.
