Hello! I’m Kristina Bruce, Body Acceptance Coach
I’m dedicated to helping people feel peaceful and confident in their bodies, while living a life that feels authentic to them.
Through our coaching sessions my clients learn to skilfully navigate negative and insecure thinking, so they can uncover and connect with a deep sense of peaceful knowing and truth within themselves.
I was drawn to this area because of my own struggles with feeling insecure and inadequate, especially regarding my body. Despite doing all the "right things" and appearing "the picture of health", I was anxious and self-conscious. My eating and exercise habits, although praised by society, were not healthy for me.
Through self-inquiry and spiritual discovery, I healed from my body image insecurity. I gained an understanding of the root cause of so much of the mental and emotional suffering we experience as humans, and applied this knowledge to my life. I now share this understanding with my clients, helping them experience more peace, ease, and well-being in all areas of life.
I share more about my personal journey and approach in coaching on podcast interviews here.
