Journey to Defy Limits Counseling

The idea of Defy Limits came about during a yoga class when I realized that I was dissatisfied with the life I was living. When I reflected on that I realized it was because I was setting several limitations on my life based on my insecurities & fears which mostly centered around my weight & authentic self.

At that moment I was determined to start Defying my Limits & pursue the life I wanted emotionally, physically, & mentally. Have I perfected this…absolutely NOT…but I have made significant changes to live my authentic & best life.

​I hope to inspire, support & develop a community where those who struggle with living a limited life of fear to confront it with passion & limitlessness. So as you explore, always remember to DEFY LIMTS that you place on yourself.
