Welcome to
The Body Forgiveness Project©
Do you relate to forgiveness and self-compassion helping you to shift the way you relate to your body? Have you discovered a new, compassionate way to be in your body and would like to share what that is and what it means to you now? If so, please submit your "Body Forgiveness" story to me! (This can be in just a few words, a visual image, a poem. Whatever represents, and/or expresses your new relationship with your body)
I will choose one story to post anonymously each month as a way to build community, connection, and hope around healing and embodiment.
This idea was born from my current qualitative research study on the role of forgiveness and embodiment. Each participant expressed the need and desire to build a community of sharing to offer hope and connection on the intimate topic of body healing. Thank you for being a part of this momentum.
Are you interested in sharing your story?

“I’d taken yoga for 12 years when I first encountered the idea of body forgiveness and self-compassion. Despite all those years of practice, my body, mind, and breath remained largely disconnected outside of class. The BFYB Program was transformative. I’m slowly getting better at noticing when my body, mind and breath are out of balance and I can literally ground myself for a few minutes on the earth on belly or back or bottom of feet or in a chair, breathe deeply and come back. The external stressors haven’t gone away, in fact they’ve gotten worse. But inside, most of the time, most days, I can smile.”
