I’ve struggled with body image for most of my life. I shot up to 5’11’’ and was fully developed by the time I was 12 years old. I was teased for being big in late elementary school and tormented by two classmates when I was the new kid when I was in middle school. These early experiences left a massive mark on my ability to love my body and show up confidently in the world.

It has been 7 weeks since I saw my naturopath for the first time and started my postpartum integrative care journey. I have thoroughly enjoyed this process so far - even the x-rays, blood draws and ultrasound. This is only just beginning and I have already learned so much about myself and my body.
