Let's talk about the women who change everything... quietly, tenderly, and with science.
I want to introduce you to someone. After incredible fire that did NOT break her, she left the corporate world to follow her passion of helping women heal from the inside out. She runs Amanda Jo Functional Healing, and I am one of her clients.
Many of you know pieces of my story... hormones, fitness, weight, cancer, autoimmune. I have walked through a lot of programs and coaches in the pursuit of wellness, and too many of them, unintentionally, fed my insecurities and my shame.
My heart and mind were exhausted from trying.
And then she came alongside me with tenderness and grace. Each week she navigates the minefield of my mind, my trauma, my hormones — all of it, with joy — and gives me actionable steps forward. I've found better sleep. Lifestyle shifts that are actually sticking. And a coach who, instead of asking where I struggled, asks where I succeeded.
That shift alone has changed everything.
I used to dread health appointments because I felt like I was constantly failing. Now I just simply know that I am not. When something is hard, I reach out, and she meets me there... with encouragement, with answers, and with grace.
This is the kind of support I try to bring into every portrait session — that same tenderness, that same belief that you are further along than you think. It is rare to find it somewhere else, and when you do, you share it.
If you need a champion alongside you as you navigate diet culture, hormone regulation, and lifestyle... she is the one. Tagging her in the comments.
