Whether it’s walking in the woods with my labrador Frisbee, flowing through yoga, or picking up weights and feeling strong. Moving my body has always been my go-to when I need to feel better.

But my relationship with exercise hasn’t always been healthy. I used to push myself through HIIT workouts without listening to what my body truly needed. I’d rush to work out after eating, feeling like I had to burn it off. Exercise felt like a means to an end, something I had to do to justify food or to shrink myself.

So many women have grown up using exercise as a way to earn their food or punish themselves into a smaller body. And for many, the roots go back to school, being told they were bad at sports or left feeling like movement wasn’t for them.

If any of that sounds familiar, I want to welcome you to Positive Movement.

Here, there’s no counting calories, no talk of burning fat, and no pressure to get “bikini body ready.” Yes, we might work hard, but it’s always in service of helping you feel good in your body, not fighting against it.

And that same philosophy applies to food. I believe in nourishment, not restriction. Food should support your energy, mood, and wellbeing, not be a source of guilt or obsession. Whether we’re working on nutrition, movement, or both, my approach is rooted in self-kindness, balance, and creating habits that last.
