“This was the best workshop at the NJEA convention because it challenged our thinking as both parents and educators. The presentation encouraged us to look outside of social norms while teaching the value of finding balance in our everyday life and how we feel about our bodies. Opening our eyes to the damage created by forcing unrealistic principles of healthy eating through the presentation will allow us to pave the way to teaching a growth mindset related to food and eating!”

“This was my favorite workshop! You not only influenced me as a teacher, but as a mother who has a daughter who struggles with body image, and as individual who constantly obsesses over food and my image. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to more workshops from you.”

”I attended a workshop that I found quite phenomenal regarding how we approach nutrition education. This eye-opening workshop will guide teachers to view health and nutrition in a whole new way! Teachers will be able to integrate a weight-neutral health approach into curriculum.”
