Erika did a really great job of making sure all voices were heard in the group. She validated each of us when we shared our thoughts. She also shared her own struggles/successes, which made her even more relatable, and helped me understand that body neutrality and/or positivity is a journey. The weekly sessions were very well-paced. I learned a lot!!

I was struggling with disordered eating and poor body image, and I have been for years. This class is the first time I have seen progress in myself and have felt comfortable talking with my struggles. I was worried about taking this class because I wasn’t actually diagnosed with an ED; but this group is for anyone and I felt so comfortable and learned so much from Erika and the other members of the group. I will definitely be signing up for another class.

This group has been so beneficial for me and for my mental health. It has allowed me to really have some inward reflection and make connections I have never been able to make before, a lot of them I didn't even realize existed. I would definitely recommend this group to anyone struggling with body image issues, disordered eating, or eating disorders.

I really appreciated that there were a variety of ways that discussion was facilitated: wins and challenges, guided questions, and specific curriculum. The support and encouragement of each other was awesome, and Erika is so skilled at group facilitation and asking questions that get you to think about the issues on a deeper level.

This group was exactly what I was looking for and has helped me on my journey to trusting my body. Erika is an excellent facilitator and teacher, and the support and encouragement I received from the group was extremely valuable. Having the opportunity to discuss these sensitive issues with others going through a similar journey was just what I needed.

Erika was awesome. She is very easy to talk to. Compassionate, validating and yet informative. I loved the group and I loved working with Erika.

 

What to expect

This is a group for any adult individual who struggles with body image and is looking for a new way to process and address these struggles. Individual sessions are great for understanding the root at which body image is an issue for you personally, and group can be a wonderful next step to implementing skills, learning from others, and processing out loud with other people who have similar experiences and struggles. Group might be exactly what you need to have a fresh outlook and a new motivation to conquer the looming and magnificent stress that body image brings to your daily life.

Each group is 90min. The first 30min consists of reflecting on the previous week- body image challenges and wins, discussion is led by Registered Dietitian, Erika Conte. Then, we will jump into the lesson. Handouts will be provided so you can take notes and remember the important concepts and skills discussed. Each lesson tackles a different aspect of body image- the things that confuse us, prevent us from accepting our own body, exposing our own biases, and what we may not understand when it comes to body size, nutrition and health.

Where & When: Group will be online (Zoom) Tuesdays from 5:00-6:30pm.

(You are welcome to eat during if needed! We understand it is dinner time for many folks)

Price: $260 per session, payment required in full on the first day of group. No refunds once group has started, No make-ups for missed group.

 
“I am truly grateful for all the education this group has given me and to Bamboo Nutrition as a whole. With the help of all of the staff at Bamboo Nutrition I now feel confident that I can make progress on my journey and I no longer feel hopeless and lost.”
