Welcome to Opal KC,

Bringing trust-based, body-centered, mental health care

to all ages.

a wellness embodied community.

Trust is where healing begins and healing sustains.

Are you currently struggling with your mental health and your body?

Have you lived through a traumatic experience or life transition that impacted your mental health or your body image?

Are you tired of cycling from diet to diet, lifestyle change to lifestyle change?

Have you exhausted resources trying to hide your skin, get back to the “old you”, tame your sexuality, or conform to your gender, only to be left more disconnected and hurt?

Do you want a better relationship with your mental health and body?

 At OpalKC, we embody trust.

With a health-at-every-size lens, we partner in the healing of wounds between you, your mind, and your body that inhibit mental wellness, authentic relationships, and fulfilling lives.

You will learn and experience through our work together how to identify shame-driven narratives that impede trust and wholeness.

You will leave with an increased understanding and respect between you, your mind, and your body.
