Somewhere along the way, we all learn to see our bodies as something to be either cherished or feared. The messages I absorbed about my body while growing up led me down a painful, decades-long path of harm and needless suffering. A few years ago I turned a corner and began my journey back toward healing. This project is the result of that journey.


No matter where we come from or where we’re headed next, our bodies are what carry us onward into each new day. In any shape or size, color or capability, every body is a beautiful creation, worthy of love and care. I believe our bodies are a core part of being human on this planet, something to approach with curiosity and an open mind, not as a threat to be managed or controlled.ο»Ώ

I started this project as a creative way to live into a new, healthier view of my body. Along the way it has expanded both my self-image and my core beliefs beyond what I could have dreamed. Every time I step back out into nature for another photo shoot, I marvel at the ways it continues to change me, shaping me into a more embodied human.


Wherever you are on your own journey, I hope this project can bring you a moment of joy and the encouragement to keep going. It's time to stop listening to the voice of fear. A great adventure awaits you.
