image long-term and the bit I’m still working on today – a journey to radically accept ME in every aspect, not just my body, and to stop always trying to be something more, or someone else.
It’s ironic that I’m actually one of those people out there normally acutely anxious about showing their body to other people – why the hell did I start ‘Nude Movement‘? The answer to that – and why I’m so passionate – is that nudity is a symbol for authenticity.
When I play the violin nude, it’s healing to me. I’m actually confident. I have no body shame. I’m in my element. It’s MY show. I’m going back to that pure joy and happiness and love that got lost in the thickets of fear and shame and anxiety along the way – by simply being myself.

RND: What are the benefits of being naked?
There are so many physical health benefits (like vitamin D, improving circadian rhythms and sleep quality) to being nude in nature during the day that I cannot have time to mention them all! But the mental health benefits are huge to a body image sufferer like me. When I am nude I am MYSELF and the opportunity to be authentic and teach myself to be authentic and accept myself, is golden. You can't do that with clothes, or not as powerfully.
RND: Why didn't Guinness World Record accept you?
Guinness World Records, turns out, have a weirdness about not accepting skydiving records that involve nudity, even if the record itself doesn't require nudity! We will make it unofficial nevertheless, and I'm proud of what I've achieved.
