A New Perspective on Body Healing

Your Body Never Meant You Any Harm

A practical, compassionate guide to understanding your body and changing the way you relate to it.

If you’ve spent years feeling disconnected, frustrated, or at war with your body, this work offers a different approach—one grounded in awareness, nervous system understanding, and self-compassion.

This isn’t about fixing your body.
It’s about learning how to listen to it.

What People Are Saying

  • “Your Body Never Meant You Any Harm is a profoundly healing book. It guides readers to transform their sometimes painful and conflicted relationship with their bodies through the power of self-compassion and forgiveness. With warmth, clarity, and wisdom, it shows that the body is not the enemy—it’s a loyal ally that has been trying to protect us all along. In doing so, it offers a path to genuine wholeness and freedom.”

    — Kristin Neff, PhD, author of Self-Compassion and Fierce Self-Compassion

Meet Ann

I am a transpersonal psychologist and somatic psychotherapist, as well as an author and educator. I created the Embodied Self-Compassion intervention, which carefully utilizes words to guide individuals in bringing their embodied experience and awareness to life. My work integrates neuroscience, trauma-informed approaches, and a psychospiritual framework to help you reconnect with the wisdom of your body. 

I developed the Befriending Your Body Program (BFYB)™, a somatic, self-compassion-based recovery program aimed at addressing disordered eating and promoting body reconnection. Additionally, I train professionals through the BFYB Somatic Certification Training program, and I am excited that this program has reached individuals and clinicians worldwide. 

With decades of clinical experience and advanced training in anatomy, nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion-based methodologies, I have crafted a unique approach to healing disordered eating, body image issues, and trauma through embodiment. 

I maintain a private therapy, teaching, and consultation practice in Saratoga Springs, NY. On any given day, you can find me practicing and teaching yoga and meditation in my community, as well as enjoying time with my family, friends, nature, animals, and music—embracing an embodied life.
