Chavo is a rescue pit mix with the energy of a puppy and the wisdom that comes with his later years. These days, we move at a gentler pace—balancing playful moments with lots of naps and cozy time under the blankets.

He’s a certified love bug whose favorite hobbies include cuddling, staying warm under blankets, sunbathing and reminding me that rest is just as important as movement.

Chavo plays a quiet but meaningful role in the way I show up in my work. Caring for him has deepened my understanding of patience, attunement, and listening to the body—values that shape how I support clients in reconnecting with themselves and building more compassionate relationships with food and their bodies.
