S.S. // Nutrition Therapy Client
I sought Jessi's help after the birth of my second child when I felt the familiar pull to lose weight. Messages stressing the importance of being thin are everywhere. But, after 20 years of being on a variety of diets, I just couldn't bring myself to go back to restrict calories or food groups. It was so helpful to process these contradictory pressures with Jessi, as I strove to change my relationship with food and my body. She was wise - I always felt like she totally understood (and had seen before) the thoughts and experiences I was having. She was also kind, encouraging, and so easy to talk to about topics that had previously been really hard for me to express. In the end, my body may be larger than I would have wanted previously, but I am so much happier and at peace. I feel free to put the energy I would have put into weight loss into activities I value, like work and parenting, and am most proud to model a healthy body image for my daughters.
