Flourish with Lipedema

My Lipedema Journey

From a young age, I knew my body looked different from others, but I never really understood why. I thought it was because of my eating habits, something I struggled with for years. My relationship with food was unhealthy, and I felt trapped in a vicious cycle.

Everything changed when I saw a TV program about a girl with similar struggles who managed to heal her relationship with food through hypnotherapy. Inspired, I decided to try the same, and it completely transformed my life. My relationship with food improved, but something still didn’t feel right.

Because of my job in hospitality, I was always on my feet, but losing weight was still a challenge, especially around my knees, hips, and arms. My situation was manageable, until COVID changed everything. Going from long days on my feet to a desk job took a toll on my body. My legs felt heavier, their shape changed, and standing or walking for long periods became increasingly painful.

Through social media, I discovered lipedema and immediately recognized the symptoms in myself. I tried everything: connective tissue massages, cupping, maderotherapy, but nothing brought lasting relief.

When I first met Rachel, I wasn’t completely ready to commit to working on myself, but it planted a seed. Not long after, I decided to take back control of my body. I started a routine of regular exercise, healthier eating, and treatments with Rachel.

This combination changed everything. My pain decreased, I became stronger and more confident. I can now stand all day without a problem, and last summer, for the first time in years, I wore shorts again, a huge personal victory!

So when Rachel launched the Holistic Lipedema Coach training, I knew right away: this is what I want to do. I want to help other women feel good in their bodies again! You’re not alone, I’d love to guide you on your path to a better life.
