Yeah, and you know, had some time off in there, too, but yeah, I really enjoy being able to work with folks not only as a therapist, but also as a fitness professional, and I think that particularly within the body image, body dysmorphia, eating disorder space, it is actually been so beneficial for all of my clients that I have this background in both areas because while I think there are a lot more weight inclusive, body neutral therapists, there are not a lot of us in the fitness space, and I would say more often it's group fitness, which is initially how I got into fitness as well.
