MITZIE GIBSON

I wasn't always comfortable in my body and expressing mySelf in all my no fucks glory. I can without hesitation say: I get it. I get what it's like to grow up in a world with media telling us how we're 'supposed' to look, act, and think. I get what it's like to look in a mirror and focus on 'flaws'. I get what it's like to step on a scale or in a pair of jeans and see a number that brings up feelings ranging from self-doubt to full-on body-shame. I get it.

And I want to help you make space to let go of that programming and express your Self.

HEY,

Mitzie

I'M

I Crave Adventure. I backpacked Europe alone in my 20's, and I'm always up for something new. This might seem counter to my whole organized Virgo thing, but I love to be spontaneous. Photography for me is less about the pretty picture (though those do happen) and more about the Experience of it.

I Have a Green Thumb. Not literally, but in that metaphorical I can grow plants without killing them way. I love to garden: veggies, flowers, house plants, all of it. I grew up on a farm, so consider it my happy place. It takes attention to detail and an awareness of what that other living thing needs to grow. We're a lot like plants.

I love Bodies & Photography. I can't say this enough. I love the science of anatomy and how we work (I was a Massage Therapist & Reiki Master for the last 20 years). I love the shapes we can make, the confidence that comes from feeling connected to our bodies and seeing ourselves in a new way. I love how much our bodies can do for us. I honestly see the interesting, unique beauty in every body. Most of all, I love and appreciate clients allowing me to be present with them on their body image / self acceptance journey.
