This is a worshiping body. This is a wise body. This is an obedient body. This is a life-giving body. This is a loving body. This is a serving body. This is a Spirit-filled body. This is a praising body. This is God’s body.
Hello, beloved. Come find sabbath and shalom.
I’m Hillary, and I’ve spent over 30 years fighting my body.
I don’t want the same for you.
What is your story, dear one? Let me tell you a little about mine. For over thirty years, I loathed myself and my body. To me, it could only “grow fat and sin.” Sin was bad and fat was bad, so I punished myself, deprived myself, indulged myself, neglected myself, and justified all kinds of sin and emotional & physical torment because I was a fat sinner and deserved nothing good.
Mixed with legalism, Bible verses read out-of-context—I am a maggot and a worm!—and my own unrelenting religious scrupulosity, the truth got buried between chafing thighs, a heavy, swaying belly, and a loathsome double chin I clutched with savage hands, wishing I could tear it off.
Healing comes from being rooted in righteousness—Christ’s perfection, not your own.
The gospel hadn’t found me yet. But it did, and now I long for you to know the glorious peace, rest, beauty, and freedom found in the truth and grace of Christ. Gentle, nourishing, and attentive self-care is biblical, and so is freedom from striving for acceptance, holiness, or a joyful seat at the Maker’s table.
Your body is a temple. But what if you hate it?
Shame, hatred, and self-neglect never healed anything.
You don’t need to try harder. You don’t need another diet. You need a revelation to heal a lifetime of body hatred, self-neglect, and shame.
Beloved, healing begins with the gospel.
For Spirit-led, Christ-centered healing around body shame, legalism, and self-care, sign up for gentle, faith-based mentorship below.
All your life, you’ve ached for transformation.
And now you’re here, for such a time as this.
The Lord is FOR you, sweet daughter of God. I am so excited to show you a gospel-centered way to heal from deep-rooted self-hatred and begin to see yourself, and your precious body, through eyes of truth and grace. Feast on His word…
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”—Matt. 11:29-30
“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”—1 Cor. 6:19-20
in him we live and move and have our being.
Christ-centered healing begins with rest.
You don’t need more to do. Shalom is here. I’d love to be part of how He loves you in this healing time. To work together one on one, you can sign up below.
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
—Jesus the healer
From food-obsessed to refined and noble queen adorned with quiet grace.
IYKYK. If you have spent years obsessing over food, weight and appearance, if you have anguished over rejection, if you have labored under the heaviness of feeling ugly, unwanted, and undesirable, there is so much HOPE for you today. Because your healing is literally found in the gospel, and you need the truth to go from your head—where you may have heard the message a thousand times and simply tuned it out—to your heart and flesh and bones.
That’s why it’s vital to be grounded in the gospel: Jesus took your sin and gave you His righteousness. It is finished. You can rest now!
You don’t need more to do. You need to rest in what has already been done.
You don’t need more discipline, more willpower, another workout, or another diet. You need to be weak and cling to the Lord. You need to let His Spirit, strength, and grace sustain you, nourish you, and heal you inside out.
I would love to come alongside you for a season of prayerful, Spirit-led mentorship to help you discover a gracious, gospel-centered path to embodied peace and to heal from self-neglect, hatred of your body, performance-based religious striving (AKA legalism), and the big deep root of shame.
And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

Testimonials
Over the years I’ve worked with so many beautiful souls through 1:1 coaching, online classes, website design, and more. Here is what they said after working with me…
“You and the work changed me forever. I sat with it and worked on nourishing my soul and gave my physical body-obsession a vacation. As I nourished my soul, something definitely shifted big time…I mean BIG time. So now I sit in the practice of life with such gratitude that my body gifted back to the universe 30 lbs. and is still giving. When I look back at the pictures I took during our work together, I see my beauty was always there. Some of them are my favorite pictures of myself ever.”
— Lauren
“Working with Hillary has truly opened my eyes to Spirit-led motherhood. After working with her, the words that were spoken are still lingering and helping me in my day to day as a new mother. Hillary has lived her wisdom, and her humble heart made me feel safe and loved. God is using Hillary and her work in the most profound way, and it’s easy to see that it’s coming from a close and sincere relationship with the Lord. I’m truly blessed that God put us together and will work Hillary in a blink of an eye again.”
