speaking + TRAINING

I am passionate about sharing ideas and strategies that help communities, organizations, and individuals cultivate belonging and courage. I often present on topics related to body image, Health at Every Size™ and Intuitive Eating principles, diversity, trauma, shame, and diabetes and mental health. I also do custom presentations on these topics and other areas of expertise in order to meet needs of the group.
