Know self-care is important but want to go beyond another to-do list?

You’re not alone.

I support folks overwhelmed by society’s expectations feel more resilient in their lives and more at home in their bodies so they can care for themselves and their communities.

I want you to TAKE UP SPACE

All around us are messages about how we should be. Who we should be. What shape we should be.

So many of have been told all our lives that we should be physically and personally small. I support folks who are ready to break out of that mold and start accepting themselves and their bodies in taking up space. You can show up for yourself and your community in ways that nourish your mind and body without burning out.

I’m Jade, a fat activist and Health At Every Size-aligned coach. I believe the co-opting of body positivity, wellness, and health by diet culture is incredibly harmful.

Imagine a world where you:

  • Get up in the morning and get dressed in whatever you want without worrying if your outfit is “flattering enough” for your body.

  • Do all the things you’ve been putting off without feeling like you need to go on a diet or change your personality first

  • Aren’t worried about being “too much” for the people in your life

  • Get way more sh!t done because you aren’t busy worrying about who you should be or what you should look like

  • Know how to really use self-care to actually take care of yourself instead of having yet another to-do list

“Systems do not maintain themselves; even our lack of intervention is an act of maintenance. Every structure in every society is upheld by the active and passive assistance of other human beings.”
― Sonya Renee Taylor, The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love

In the words of the great Sophia Petrillo…

Picture It!

Navigate your life with confidence while rejecting all those shame-inducing messages in the self-help and wellness world.

✔️You’re already whole.

Take up space in every aspect of your life and never again apologizing for being fully you no matter where you are on your self love journey.

✔️Life is messy

Feel at home in your body no matter what else is going on around you - no magical thinking or sheer willpower required.

✔️I’m here to support you

 

WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

 

“Before beginning my process with Jade I felt alone and overwhelmed in both my work and home lives. I struggled to make the necessary changes to improve my conditions, and even when I overcame the initial hurdles, I had difficulty maintaining that change. I’ve tried to muscle it out on my own, do the whole bootstraps thing, but it just didn’t work for me. What I needed was systems, guidance on the bigger picture, and a little help connecting the dots.

I hadn’t considered coaching until someone close to me recommended Jade. I was wary, my intersection of identities can make me vulnerable sometimes. Coaching had always come across as the type of “do it yourself” willpower mantra nonsense that had never worked for me before. I didn’t want to invest time and money just to feel like a failure again. After my first session with Jade, I knew this was someone I saw eye to eye with.

Jade has provided the support I needed to make change for myself. I feel reassured by having an appointment on the books, knowing I can talk freely about my dreams, goals, and struggles. I feel less doubt about my decisions, more centered in my goal-setting process, and more capable of following through with my actions.

If you’re on the fence about whether or not to book with Jade, I encourage you to at least feel them out in an initial session. I felt genuinely listened to and cared for from the very first time I spoke with them. Jade’s coaching emphasizes true self care, acknowledges the reality of the world we move through, and is responsive to the client’s changing needs. I have greatly benefitted from my time with Jade, and am looking forward to continuing that trajectory in further sessions.”
