First off, the best reason for doing a session is that it’s empowering as fuck. At some point in your life, or maybe many points in life, you were made to feel as though you were not enough. Someone made you feel as though your body was shameful or wrong in some way.
For me, this started early on. As I grew up in the church, the aspect of being pure was always something that was pushed on me. That my body somehow already belonged to my future husband, and that only he was allowed to enjoy it. You may be familiar with what I’m talking about, but it didn’t just end there. I felt as though it was wrong to enjoy my body in any capacity. I struggled with self-harm and eating disorders, constantly at war with my body and soul.
By helping my client’s celebrate their bodies, I’ve been on my own journey of empowerment. By helping people see themselves in a new light, I have also empowered myself to accept the space my body takes up.
