This week’s maker feature is Lexi Bonilla from Innerbloom Counseling!

My journey into therapy began with my passion for social justice and a desire to challenge oppressive systems. As I learned more about the harmful impact of diet culture and fatphobia, I felt called to help individuals reclaim a compassionate and respectful relationship with their bodies & food. This led me to focus on supporting folks in healing from the effects of disordered eating and body image struggles. That vision became Innerbloom Counseling.

I’m passionate about breaking the stigma surrounding eating disorders and encouraging self-compassion, which is why I’m excited to offer community events. Next up is "Strong Community, Strong Body, Strong Mind" a body image workshop at the Princeton Club - Madison West. The event features an interactive presentation on body image and body respect, followed by yoga and snacks. It’s a welcoming space to discuss body image while prioritizing both mental and physical wellness.
