About Mary

I started gymnastics at the age of 3 years old and spent most of my childhood competing in the sport. Although gymnastics is an amazing sport, you are often judged by your appearance. As a little girl, I can remember crying to my mom because I thought my legs were too big. This was only the start of my negative relationship with food and my body.
Ten years later, I developed an Eating disorder that ultimately ruled my life. I was in and out of treatment facilities worldwide. In addition, I worked with a dozen different therapists, dietitians, and psychiatrists. Another ten years went by, and I have finally become friends with my body. In conclusion, I have learned to NOURISH and fuel my body. This was not easy work. There was no “quick fix” to this process. It took years of messing up, failing, learning, and “getting back on track.”
My goal is to use my story to help others gain love and respect for their body! Food is not the enemy. Diet culture is.
