Meet Katherine

Outside of my personal healing, I began to educate myself on the Body Positivity Movement - about the Black Femmes who started it and how we often see it whitewashed by folks with thin privilege. I’ve read about the origins of Diet Culture and Fatphobia, how they’re rooted in anti-Blackness. I’m deeply inspired by and support Sonya Renee Taylor’s work, especially her book The Body is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love.

My mission is to bring more self-love into the world and to help you begin the lifelong process of making peace with your body. I’m here to inspire you to live life on your own terms - not by what our capitalist, patriarchy, white supremacist culture says you “should” do.

I live in the North End of Boston with my plant babies (I have over 20 houseplants!) and love being in close proximity to many amazing restaurants. I love to travel, cook, watch as many documentaries I can get my hands on, and I’m a pandemic Peloton owner after years of loving spin classes.

Hi there! I’m Katherine - an entrepreneur, coach, podcaster and more with a passion for learning, people, and self-discovery.

After many years of feeling like self-love and self-acceptance was out of reach for me because of my size, things slowly began to shift for me in 2017 when I began my healing journey.

I started seeing a therapist in Summer 2017 after I’d lost a significant amount of weight - yet I still felt deeply unhappy with myself. I was at the lowest weight I could remember of my adult life and still struggled with loving and accepting myself and my body.

Truthfully, I was incredibly frustrated. I spent so long believing that losing weight would cure all my problems - alleviate all of my insecurities - and magically everything in my life would be transformed. This was the complete opposite of my experience and it was through this experience that made me realize that the issues I had were much deeper than just the size of my body.

I began to unpack the stories and limiting beliefs I carried with me about my worthiness through therapy and other healing modalities. During this process, I started to incorporate habits, rituals, and practices to care for myself, move my body, and speak to myself more compassionately and lovingly.

After a few months of consistently practicing these little habits, I started to feel more connected with my body than ever before. I started to see that true confidence comes from within. My mentality began to shift from constantly seeking to make my body smaller to having a goal of feeling good in my body.
