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.

You are not something to be fixed.

Not your body.
Not your softness.
Not your chronic illness.
Not your fat.
Not your scars.
Not your aging.
Not your q***rness.
Not your tenderness.
Not your truth.

Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught that love is conditional. That our bodies must become smaller, healthier, quieter, more acceptable before we are worthy of being chosen.

But your body is not a project.
It is not a problem.
It is not a before picture waiting for transformation.

It is sacred.
It is intuitive.
It carries wisdom.

In your fat body.
In your chronically ill body.
In your disabled body.
In your aging body.
In your Black or Brown body.
In your q***r or gender expansive body.

You are worthy of love exactly as you are.

Body peace does not begin after you change.
Body liberation does not require perfection.
Self trust grows when you stop negotiating your worth.

Today, I invite you to place your hands over your heart.

To breathe.
To honor the quiet divinity living within you.

There is power in your softness.
There is strength in your survival.
There is beauty in your becoming.

What would it feel like to let love meet you here, without conditions?

Wellness is not a checklist you complete. It is a relationship you build with your body over time.

It looks like setting boundaries that protect your energy.
Resting when your body asks instead of pushing through.
Choosing yourself without guilt.
Allowing pleasure to reconnect you to your embodiment.

Your body does not need to fit into a single wellness formula. Inclusive wellness honors that your needs are shaped by your lived experience, your health, and your current capacity.

Wellness does not require sacrifice.
It grows through consent, alignment, and trust.

Are you longing for warmer days and more sunshine?

I am.

And while I truly believe that every day is a blessing,
while I honor that every season carries its own wisdom and value,
that doesn’t stop me from yearning.

Yearning to lay out in the sun.
Yearning to touch grass.
Yearning to get my hands in the garden soil and feel life beneath my fingertips.

There is a kind of healing that only nature offers.

✨ Sunshine on your skin warms your body, supports nervous system regulation, and reminds you that light is still available even after long, cold seasons.
✨ Water whether rain, rivers, or a simple glass held with intention softens us. It cleanses. It restores.
✨ The sounds of birds are gentle reminders that life continues and that morning always comes.
✨ Being among trees and plants grounds your body in something older than urgency. Older than hustle.
✨ A few moments of fresh air expand your lungs, calm your stress response, and reconnect you to the present moment.
✨ Observing wildlife and animals allows you to witness instinct, rhythm, and embodied trust.

This is holistic self-care.
This is inclusive wellness.
This is Body Relationship® Healing, too.

Because healing your relationship with your body isn’t only about mindset.

It’s about returning to environments that help your body feel safe.
Supported.
Regulated.

Yes, all seasons have their value. Winter teaches rest. Fall teaches release. Spring teaches renewal. Summer teaches expansion.

But it’s okay to miss the sun.
It’s okay to crave warmth.
It’s okay to desire softness and light.

Longing is not weakness.
Longing is wisdom.

If you’re navigating chronic illness, stress, or simply the weight of the world, these small natural rituals like sunlight, fresh air, and grass under your feet can be powerful affirming wellness practices.

Your body remembers how to receive.

Tell me, what natural healing element are you craving most right now?

Wellness has too often been framed as something reserved for certain bodies, incomes, or lifestyles.

But herbal traditions have always belonged to the people. To kitchens. To community care. To shared knowledge passed down through generations.

Herbal wellness was never meant to be inaccessible, intimidating, or elite. It was meant to support real lives, real bodies, and real needs.

Care should feel welcoming, not overwhelming.

If you have ever felt excluded by wellness spaces, please know this. There are gentler, more inclusive ways to care for yourself, and you deserve access to them.

You can explore supportive resources through the link in my bio, offered with warmth and respect for your capacity.

Your body is not your enemy.
It never was.

What has harmed our relationship with our bodies is years of external conditioning telling us they are wrong, broken, unruly, or something to conquer.

Diet culture.
Racial oppression.
Ableism.
Productivity worship.
Medical gaslighting.

All of it has taught us to distrust the very place that holds our intuition, our resilience, our memory, and our knowing.

True body peace doesn’t come from fixing or overriding the body.
It comes from returning to it.

With honor.
With respect.
With care.

It comes from remembering that your body is sacred.
Divine.
Intuitively powerful.

And if that feels overwhelming or unfamiliar, that’s okay.

We don’t begin this journey perfectly.
We begin one breath at a time.

A pause.
A moment of listening.
A gentle choice to soften instead of fight.

If you’re longing for support as you reconnect with your body, there are grounding tools and offerings linked in my bio to guide you, gently and without pressure.

You don’t have to do this alone.
Your body is waiting to be met, not managed.

Wellness is not something you perform or perfect. It is something you practice in relationship with your body.

What supports you will change as your body changes. A healing practice listens, adapts, and responds rather than forcing consistency or compliance. It values sustainability over appearance and trust over control.

If you have felt excluded, pressured, or unseen in traditional wellness spaces, you are not alone. Healing practice centers your lived experience and honors what your body actually needs.

Wellness is not a moment.
It is an ongoing conversation with your body.

01/30/2026

You do not need to optimize your healing for it to be real.

When you step outside, nature meets your body without expectations. Sunlight, fresh air, and natural sounds help regulate your nervous system in quiet, supportive ways. You do not have to earn this care or do it correctly.

If your body feels overwhelmed, tense, or depleted, allowing yourself a moment with nature can offer grounding without effort. Healing does not always require action. Sometimes it begins with presence.

You are allowed to receive support in simple ways.

01/29/2026

We’ve been taught to set louder goals when our bodies struggle.
Push more.
Try harder.
Be disciplined.
Stay motivated.

But louder goals often drown out what the body is actually asking for.

Deeper listening looks different.
It notices fatigue before collapse.
It honors symptoms as signals, not failures.
It allows wellness to be adaptive, relational, and humane.

For people navigating chronic illness, stress, or long-standing disconnection from their bodies, listening isn’t passive. It’s an act of care. It’s a refusal to abandon yourself.

Your body doesn’t need to be managed.
It needs to be met.

If you’ve been craving a gentler, more sustainable way to approach wellness, this is your reminder that slowing down is not falling behind.

When you are ready, I have gentle, affirming tools to support you in my bio.

What becomes possible when you listen more closely?

01/28/2026

When everything feels like too much, your body is not asking you to figure it all out. It is asking for a pause.

Taking things one breath at a time brings you back into your body without requiring productivity or clarity. Your breath meets you where you are. It helps your nervous system settle and reminds your body that it does not have to rush to be safe.

If you are living with chronic illness, stress, or emotional fatigue, slowing down is not falling behind. It is responding wisely to your capacity. Breath gives you a moment of steadiness when the rest feels uncertain.

You do not need to solve everything right now.

One breath is enough for this moment.

01/27/2026

When hearts ache and spirits burn under the weight of collective grief and anger, it can feel overwhelming.

Especially for those of us living in bodies that are constantly navigating harm, dismissal, pressure, or invisibility.

Rage is a powerful force.
Holy, even.
And when it has nowhere to go, when it’s stored inside the body, it can begin to take a toll.

Pent-up anger doesn’t just live in our thoughts.
It settles into our nervous systems.
It shows up as stress, fatigue, tension, and disconnection.
It can strain relationships.
It can cloud our sense of peace.

And for many in this community, that rage has very real roots.

Rage about medical gaslighting.
Rage about being asked to push past capacity.
Rage about systems that don’t make room for your body, your needs, or your humanity.
Rage about being told to stay quiet, grateful, or small.

If that’s you, your anger isn’t a personal failure.
It’s a response to what you’ve lived.

This isn’t about suppressing rage.
It’s about releasing it in ways that care for your body instead of harming it.

Some gentle, accessible ways to let anger move:
• Journaling to release what your body doesn’t need to hold.
• Physical movement that allows energy to shift without punishment.
• Artistic expression that gives form to what words can’t hold.
• Vocal release, speaking or sounding your truth in safe spaces.
• Community support that reminds you you’re not alone.

None of this has to be dramatic.
Small releases count.
Rest between them counts.

Your mental well-being matters.
Your body deserves relief.
Your peace is sacred.

Rage doesn’t need to be rushed.
Healing doesn’t need to be silent.

What does your body need in order to let something soften today?

01/23/2026

Rest has been misunderstood for far too long.

Calm is not a lack of ambition. It is not giving up. It is not something you earn only after exhaustion.

For many of us, especially those living in marginalized bodies or managing chronic illness, calm is a necessary form of care. It is how the nervous system repairs, recalibrates, and regains trust.

Choosing calm is not opting out of life.
It is choosing sustainability.

Your body does not need more discipline.
It needs more safety.

If this reminder lands deeply for you, there are supportive tools available through the link in my bio, shared without urgency and without pressure.
