Mekdela is a Body Image Coach with lived experience of healing Body Image issues. My aim is to help clients heal their relationship with their Bodies, Minds, and Spirits. After I experienced disconnectivity from my Body, I saw how this led to dysfunction in my Mind, and ultimately in my Spirit. This became a vicious cycle with my mental illness fueling physical illness and a Spiritual disconnect. 

As I embarked on my healing journey, I began to see the interconnectedness of our wellbeing: Mind, Body, and Spirit. When one part of us is sick, it impacts all of us like a domino effect. How that sickness manifests in our Bodies, Minds, and Spirits is unique to individuals.

I have experience healing body image-related mental and physical pain. Once I unlearned white supremacist beauty standards and stopped idolizing thinness and straight hair, my brain started to heal. When that process began, my body began to heal.

Eventually, I was able to connect to my Spirit and intuition in a way that I never had before. This is because my Body Image issues were blocking my Body-Mind-Spirit Connection. I underwent training in holistic healing to gain more knowledge of holistic health and (w)holistic wellbeing.

If we are taught to hate our bodies due to western beauty standards, our minds will be poisoned, leading to the disruption of our connection to ourselves and our Body-Mind-Spirit. This knowledge inspired me to become a Body Image Coach and help other people heal their relationships with themselves. I am a Health At Every Size Practicioner trained in Body Image Interventions.
