Kendra Lilley-Intro

Hi there! My name is Kendra, and I am so excited to be here. I live in the mountains of North Carolina and am a mental health counselor in private practice.

 

I've been on a intentional, therapeutic journey in my relationship with my body over the past several years, working to unlearn decades of toxic messaging around food, beauty, sexuality, and health. It's hard work. My body has changed a lot over the past year in particular, and I've definitely been struggling to recognize myself in a lot of ways.

 

Photography was once my favorite mode of self-expression, and I disconnected from the camera somewhere along the way. I'm excited to delve into self-portraiture for the first time in years.

 

This photo was taken of me about 5 months ago for my new website (in progress). I was really insecure about being photographed, but when I saw the results I was overwhelmed by how SEEN I felt. This photo definitely sparks a feeling clear recognition of myself.

 

I'm excited to delve deeper and be on this journey with y'all.
