Building Body Respect and Self-Acceptance though Body Neutrality
Building trust with your body when it’s been broken off can take a long time. It takes vulnerability, patience and time to build.
Body neutrality is the remedy to body image suffering you’ve been seeking.
Body Love can feel reallllly big, like another thing to do. It can feel like “I should love my body and I don’t and now I’m beating myself up about one more thing I should be doing.”
How about trying on Body Neutrality and meeting yourself – with peace- and the acceptance of how your body shows up in the world today.
How about taking the focus off your body and instead focus on relationship with your body?
Seeking validation clarity and direction in your relationship with your body?
Let’s create a safe space to start the conversation and begin to strip away the false meaning, significance and interpretations you’ve been assigning to your body and see it for what it is: a body, no more no less.

“Before working with Lesley I was on a journey, seeking self-love and body confidence. Though I had those desires I didn’t know what to do with them. You could say I was adrift without any direction or focus. I was at the beginning of my separation when I first met Lesley, so I was deeply sad about the state of my relationship and fearful about any future relationships. I lacked belief in myself and was very lonely.
I initially hesitated about investing in a coach came from a self-limiting belief I held about my lack of finances. I think reframing it to know that investing in myself and believing that I was worth it helped me to know that it was the right step to take anyway. Since working with Lesley I feel more centered, more aware and more mindful. I definitely feel my self-esteem has improved greatly and slowly I am learning to love my body exactly as it is right now.
Working with Lesley I always felt energized and motivated after our sessions. Lesley helped me to see things differently and challenged me to go beyond the lines I had drawn for myself. I always felt heard and validated and ended up leaving each session inspired to seek my best self. Thank you Lesley!”
