Guest: Marla Mervis-Hartmann | Creator of Love Your Body, Love Yourself

Do you love your body? As the creator of Love Your Body, Love Yourself, Marla Mervis-Hartmann helps women access their yes! to that question. After experiencing years of dysfunction in relation to food, exercise, and body confidence, Marla transformed her life through the radical act of self-compassion and friending herself. She has since used her experiences to help empower women as they choose appreciation for their bodies, honor themselves through nourishing lifestyle choices, and cultivate confidence along the way. Marla works at Ai Pono, an eating disorder center, sharing Body-Love Reiki Circles, and was known as the leading body image expert and Reiki Master at Journey Malibu–a Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation center. Most recently, she has been featured at TEDx Salinas. Her dedication to women's studies has had several focuses, including women's sexual wellness, postpartum care, pelvic floor support, tantra and yoga instruction, massage therapy, and lifestyle coaching through Love Your Body, Love Yourself. Marla's mission is to inspire women to feel good about themselves as they pursue the lives they desire. Currently, Marla lives in Maui with her husband, Olaf, and son, Aspen–where she works full-time as a professional coach, speaker, facilitator, and Living Light Reiki Master and Instructor. Marla will see her first book, Be-Friend Yourself on bookshelves fall of 2024. https://www.instagram.com/loveyourbodyloveyourselfalways/ https://www.facebook.com/loveyourbodyloveyourself https://www.youtube.com/marlamervis WEBSITE https://www.loveyourbodyloveyourself.com/ FREE GIFT Breaking the Cycle of Emotional Eating https://goloveyourbodyloveyourself.com/emotionaleating ✨Connect with Colleen and Robyn Classes: https://reikilifestyle.com/classes-page/ FREE Distance Reiki Share: https://reikilifestyle.com/community/ Podcast: https://reikilifestyle.com/podcast/ (available on all major platforms too) Website: https://reikilifestyle.com/ Colleen Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReikiLifestyle Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reikilifestyleofficial Robyn Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robynbenellireiki Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robynbenellireiki **DISCLAIMER** This episode is not a substitute for seeking professional medical care but is offered for relaxation and stress reduction which support the body's natural healing capabilities.
