"You had a really big impact on my life. Your program gave me the push I so desperately needed to love and appreciate my body. It didn't happen overnight, but little by little the things that you said in the workshop would come to me when I really needed them. With my new-found self-confidence, I have started teaching yoga again!"
Jennifer, workshop participant

"The I Am Beautiful program continues to impact life on our campus. [One result] is the addition of your materials being incorporated into the Gender and the Media and Body Image section of our Introduction to Women's Studies class. Thanks again for visiting our campus."

"The feedback on your terrific workshop has been very positive. The women got a lot out of the exercises and presentation."
Women's Center Director, Trinity College

"I was very impressed with your presentation. The mix of facts and media pictures with your own personal stories regarding body image [are] very important for today's women, especially on college campuses where the pressure to 'be perfect' invades our culture."
Kelly Smith, Women's Center, University of Notre Dame

"The I Am Beautiful workshop was uplifting and inspiring. The presenters have a wealth of knowledge and information on body image, self-esteem, eating disorders and empowering women to feel the beauty that is within. They offer a great opportunity for women to relax, think "outside the box" and celebrate how truly beautiful they are."
Executive Director, Women's Center of Jacksonville

"Wow! Everything you talked about was true . . . but stripping down to your bathing suit won me over. You made me want to apologize to my body for being so mean and unaccepting."
Mary, seminar attendee

"Your program went above and beyond our expectations."
Programming Committee, University of Scranton

"I have endured low self-esteem for most of my teen and adult years. I also have two teen daughters who are showing signs of struggling with how they see themselves. Together we have begun to use your journal [exercises]. Every week or two we get together and read them aloud. [My girls] are thoroughly enjoying this, and I must tell you THEY are reminding ME that it is time to get together [for these exercises]. Thank you for your healing work."
