Hello!

Kind Body & Spirit began in 2020 as an Instagram account exploring topics like body image, weight, and wellness. That account (and this brand new website!) remains a work in progress – as my own mental and physical health journey is ever-evolving. Which is to say: We ain’t done yet.

I had spinal surgery in 2006 and spent a long time making excuses for why I didn't take better care of myself. I know that maintaining a healthier weight and staying active makes me feel better, yet still, I resist or deny or ignore the truth. Laziness often wins, and so does fear – of messing up, of judgment, of commitment.

I created this space to share stories and connect with anyone who feels like a path to wellness is inaccessible to them, as I did for so many years. I've experienced how small changes can make a huge difference for both our mind and body – and that kindness, for ourselves and each other, goes a long way.
