Your body is your ally

To everyone who’s felt let down by their own body despite giving it their all: I see you. I’ve been there too, battling unexplained symptoms and feeling defeated. But a shift in perspective changed everything.
By treating my body as an ally, not an adversary, and tuning into its unique language, I completely changed my body and my health. Being in-tune with my body is a whole new way of living for me, after decades of dissociation from it. But I really do live this work.
