Behind the Blog
Medicinal Marzipan is a blog about body image and authentic living. It is my personal understanding that your relationship with your body impacts every aspect of your life, leaving no stone unturned. Thus, frequent topics include creating a positive relationship with food, healthy living, finding and maintaining healthy relationships, sex, disordered eating, and authentic entrepreneurship. If a blog was a room, Medicinal Marzipan would be an enormous, comfortable living room – where there is an abundance of coffee, love, and sometimes a little gossip about the neighbors.
Marzipan Then
Since I was a little girl, I have run the gamut from fat to thin to fat again, and everywhere in between. I have experienced first hand the impact of body image and self-esteem on every aspect of my life, from my sexuality, to getting dressed in the morning, to having enough courage to embrace my dream life. This blog represents my commitment to myself to work every day towards improving my own body image and self-awareness, and to inspire you to do the same.
Marzipan Now
I strive to love my body no matter what my pant size or relationship status – and when it’s difficult, which it often is, I work to love it harder. I like: yoga, copious amounts of coffee, the Sookie Stackhouse series, avocados, clean sheets, filling notebooks with insane ideas, and making those insane ideas real.
In short - I want to help you love yourself.

Official Bio
I am a twenty-six-year-old with an English undergraduate degree, a penchant for body image activism, an overactive imagination, and a desire to love and adore myself and others truly and imperfectly and to the best of my abilities. I am currently in my second year of obtaining a masters in clinical social work in Boston, MA. My writing has been published in traditional print media [Feminist Studies, Zij aan Zij, and Whole Terrain], as well as on a variety of healthy living blogs.
This blog is a record of my recovery from a lifetime of fear, mistrust, and self loathing, and a testament to how wonderful life can be once you decide to let go, and learn to love yourself.
