People ask me how I lost all the weight, and my answer is always this: My weight loss was a consequence of healing.   

My journey started when I had to close the book on a self-help journal at page 1 because I could not name 5 things that I liked about myself.  I knew I was in serious trouble…and I needed help. 

I reached out to RO, and we established a path forward.  

First: I had to reclaim the space occupied by my guilt; trauma; negative self-talk, failures; and shame.  
Second: I had to unpack, process, acknowledge and forgive myself for all of that.  
Third: I eliminated what was no longer serving me; people, things, feelings, ideas, and the 70lb wall of fat I erected to hide behind.   
Now: I am empowered to wisely choose who and what I let into this precious space that I worked so hard to create.  

Today I am living my best and most authentic life and I could not have done that without RO. 

She helped me see that healing is a continuous journey, not the destination. I know that if I stumble or encounter roadblocks, RO will absolutely be there to help me find a way forward. 

So, before you sign up for that new gym membership and before you get that expensive new work out wardrobe, make an appointment with RO. I never thought I would say this but try the reiki!
