Damaris’s Testimonial
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with you! You are an incredibly warm and energetic person, and so I felt very comfortable sharing with you all of the challenges I have faced in my journey to body acceptance. I feel like I have grown exponentially since we first started working together, and now I fully understand why it's important to nix the "restrict" and "weightloss" mentality and how that diet culture mindset is ultimately detrimental to my overall physical and mental health. As you say, we will never ever be completely rid of diet culture thoughts HOWEVER I can now better identify what those thoughts are and reframe them before they take shape!”

Diana’s Testimonial
“Learning about honoring my body has empowered me to do what I wanted to for a while. I had no idea how to start doing it. After chatting with the ladies and Dalina I did much needed soul searching about how the diet culture and the food/body police has affected me.”

Maria’s Testimonial
“It was really great to talk with and hear from other women who had similar dieting experiences. I previously felt so much shame about the fact that I had dieted so much in the past and so much guilt about the strong desire I had to lose weight. It felt like admitting I was weak and that I was never able to able to resist the allure of these fad diets.
It was nice to hear from other women who had similar experiences and reflect as a group on WHY we felt we needed to lose weight. I no longer feel ashamed that I used to diet, I now feel happy that I don't anymore and am more willing to be open and honest about these experiences with people so hopefully, people in my circle can see the possibilities beyond dieting.
I no longer feel like the weak one it was very empowering to just get mad at diet culture with other women and realize that we ALL have so much more to look forward to and shrinking isn't going to help us.”
