Why I Founded Abbastanza

Posted On September 30, 2019

The concept of Abbastanza wellness developed over many years of contemplation. My early experience as a curvy girl in dance classes as a teenager in NY, the struggles to overcome body image problems throughout my lifetime, and the immersion into the world of fitness, as a curvy girl, for more than 34 years, all led to a decision in 2019 to create a community of support for people struggling with body image issues.

My personal story of recovery is one of overcoming challenges and practicing the daily commitment of living life one day at a time with determination and perseverance. I have a passion to create a shift in how people think of themselves as worthy regardless of their weight, clothing size, or anything having to do with their physical look. Living a healthy life is desirable, and what health ‘looks like’ is not one way, or even always visible.

Eating Disorders are prevalent, they can be deadly, they can bring lifelong struggles- leading to depression and a myriad of other problems. I created Abbastanza to be a part of the solution to change the epidemic of body image issues globally.

Join me as I go on a mission to change the conversation around body image and acceptance. If you want to stay updated on Abbastanza content and events please sign up below to join our mailing list.
