Teen Girl Workshop Series: Creating a Positive Body Image & a Healthy Relationship with Food
Thursdays
8:00-9:00 PM
For 7th-12th Grade Girls

*See "Class Schedule" Tab for Sesssion Start Dates*

This preventative, education-based class aimed at helping your t(w)een-aged daughter to create a life-long, healthy, positive relationship with her body is the class we all wish we could have had when we were younger!

It is my belief that Knowledge + Connection = Power.

In this group setting where caring connections are made, true and life changing principles will be taught and absorbed.

In this class, your daughter will learn:

Awareness and rejection of unhealthy and unrealistic cultural expectations about female beauty and how to see her body for all the good it can do, rather than for how it looks, leading to greater self-confidence and meaningful living.

How to boost both mood and physical health with gentle nutrition, intuitive eating, and joyful daily movement.

How to manage difficult emotions like anxiety and depression through mindfulness, meditation, connection, and emotional expression.

Curriculum will be based on the following texts:

More than a Body, by Lindsay Kite, PhD and Lexi Kite, PhD

Intuitive Eating, 4th Edition
by RDN Evelyn Tribole, MS, RDN Elyse Resch, MS

Various Sources on the topic of Self-Compassion and Mindfulness
