Make self-care a priority. You are worthy of it.

You are worthy of boundaries.

Are you burned out, disempowered, resentful, or downright angry because people disregard your boundaries? Does it seem as though you are always compromising your values? Then it’s time to assert firm boundaries. I can help you identify your values and devise a plan to effectively communicate them with others.

You are worthy of compassion.

Do you take care of others, but neglect your own needs? Do you feel guilty when you take even a little time for yourself. Are you a natural giver who provides time and energy to everyone else but yourself? Has it been so long since you tended to your own needs, that you don’t even know where to start? I can help you figure out what you want, how to best engage in self-care, and create balance in meeting your needs and those of the people around you.

You are worthy of having your needs met.

Are you your own worst critic? Do you focus on how you fall short instead of recognizing the progress you’ve made? Do you push yourself to the brink of exhaustion only to find it difficult to celebrate your successes? I can help you to more gently hold yourself accountable, acknowledge the challenges you face, and honor your successes.

So What’s Getting in the Way of Your Self-care?

With all that I do, I just don’t have time for self-care.
Self-care seems expensive and I can’t spend that kind of money on something frivolous.
People depend on me and need me. I’m not a priority right now. Self-care can wait.
I don’t know what to do. The people around me don’t model self-care, they just push through.
Maybe next month.

The Reality Is…

Self-care does not have to be expensive nor does it have to be frivolous. It does, however, require your time and effort.

You cannot pour from an empty vessel. You have to make yourself a priority to ensure you can continue providing others with care and support.
You can learn how to care for yourself. You can adopt new behaviors and break unhealthy generational patterns.
The sooner you begin, the sooner you can reap the rewards and benefits of self-care. You’ve got this.
