As told to Holly Bullock

I may be a professional life model, but I know that loving your body is not the only way to feel good in it. Instead, it’s about taking the pressure off and feeling comfortable with the body you have – no one’s body should mean anything about how they’re treated, regardless of what it looks like.

Because of my job, I’m naked a lot. But when I’m in the life drawing space, I’m very detached from how I look, which feels very freeing. People look past that when they’re drawing you; you become a piece of art. It’s outside of life modelling that I do the work on myself to feel as body-confident as I can.
