Weekly Wellness: What I used to think about myself & how I changed my mind...

This photo will always come with a lot of emotions. I can remember exactly how I felt in this moment. I was battling my inner critic. I mustered up enough courage to wear the skirt, the boots & the silky top. I don't remember feeling like I looked in this photo. I felt fat, like the biggest person in the room, like my clothes just enhanced my flaws. My thoughts were lying to me. Looking at this photo now I see a tall beautiful young woman who should have felt confident & excited to head to the school dance with her friends. Instead I felt discouraged, uncomfortable & unable to see anything other than my imperfections.

How did I change this?

At 37 years old...when I look at myself in photos I no longer choose to see the imperfections, the flaws, the areas of my body that are supposed to be different according to what we have been taught by society. My body is unique, imperfectly perfect & exactly how it is supposed to be. I choose to find gratitude for my body & that has changed everything. I have done this through a lot of hard work, personal development, yoga, meditation & journaling practice that has changed the way I show up for the world. Through finding self-love I found the confidence, self-esteem & self-worth to know I deserve to live a life I love, a life that inspires others & life that doesn't need permission or approval to love my body.

I want this for all women. I want women to find this love for their imperfectly perfect selves. My 8 week program helps to you gain that self-love without losing a pound.

Disrupting Diet Culture. Connecting women back to their bodies. Confident women = confident families!

After going on her own journey from self-hate to self acceptance, and finally self-love...Martina is now empowering women to accept + respect their bodies with her proven method that disrupting diet culture...even if they think weightloss is the only answer to happiness. Here is her story...

I hated my body despite of losing weight. At one point I had lost almost 100 lbs...but guess what? I Still felt the same way about my body. Never feeling good enough or worthy of love and affection. I remember looking in the mirror one day realizing that I hated myself just as much as I did 100 lbs heavier. I was devastated. My relationships were suffering due to my own lack of self-love. I felt sadness. I felt anger. I felt hopeless. But then this happened...

I went to my first Yoga class. A form of movement I never thought I was worthy of attending. I literally felt like I was going to look like a beached whale on a yoga mat. Everyone would judge me. I couldn't bare the embarrassment. Despite of my negative thoughts...I attended my first class. Life changed for me that day. I felt like I connected to my body for the first time. It felt peaceful. It felt freeing. It felt like home. Shortly after my first class I got certified to teach & have never looked back.

I still had a lot to work on in regards to self love, self growth & self worth. I have worked hard on this with a lot of self care, personal development, coaching, yoga, journaling, crystals & using natural products that support my mental and emotional health. I can actually say that I now accept and respect my body. Some days I even love my body!

I strive to love my imperfectly perfect self & empower others to do the same. I want those who dont feel like they fit in to feel like they have a tribe to call their own. Only 4% of women see themselves as beautiful and I am here to change that! I believe that as we become confident women we are raising confident families!

The change starts with you. Self-Love can be achieved at any size & my proven method will transform the way you look at yourself in the mirror. I can't wait to see you shine!
