Vacation Glow-Up: Empowering Body Image Workshop

Indulge in the ultimate self-love and confidence boost at "Vacation Glow-Up: Empowering Body Image Workshop." This transformative workshop, alongside Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor Alana Van Der Sluys, is designed to help you shine with radiant self-assurance during your vacation and beyond, no matter your size or weight!

A vacation is not just about relaxation: it's an opportunity to embrace and empower your true self, which can be difficult if you're feeling worried or guilty about how such decadent vacation food will affect your waistline! In this workshop, we will unpack the intricacies of body image and its influence on self-perception, how to build self-confidence independent of body size, and how to engage in health-promoting behaviors from a place of body respect and appreciation to further up-level your body confidence.

Why the Wellness Industry is Elitist

Why have we simply accepted that the only image of wellness looks like a thin white woman in her 20s with a perfect ponytail and expensive yoga pants? In this provocative talk, Alana Van Der Sluys not only asks you to question why we have passively accepted this singular, elitist version of health as the gold standard for all; while also detailing practical ways we can dismantle this limiting view of health and wellness and replace it with one that’s multifaceted and inclusive on a global scale.

Perfectionism and Eating Disorders: How to Combat Obsessive Behaviors around Our Health

At this keynote, attendees will learn:

  • How perfectionism and those with its tendencies are more susceptible to developing EDs and obsessive behaviors around food and their bodies
  • How to combat perfectionist tendencies and obsessive thoughts by reframing our mindsets around health, food, and bodies
  • How to incorporate healthy habits rooted in compassion, self-love, and empowerment rather than negative body image, unrealistic expectations around health, and fatphobia
