Why did you start your account? “My account has a mix of several aspects relating to health and well-being, which I think is the most crucial part to living a healthy and happy life. You must practice balance in all areas of your life in order to maintain mental, physical & spiritual health, and I really wanted to promote that lifestyle through my Instagram. My account places a heavy focus on self-love, self acceptance and mindfulness. I think that these aspects of health are just as crucial as physical strength. As someone who suffered from an extremely serious eating disorder and truly lost sight of what health and fitness meant, I started this Instagram to share my journey back to a balanced, healthy life. I wanted to show others that regardless of how far you wander off track, it’s always possible to refocus and find your way back.”
