An exploration of diet culture and anti-fat bias in a culturally aware, exploratory manner,
in which you will learn how to:
1.
Reduce harm when speaking to clients about their bodies in your fitness, wellness, and health spaces.
2.
Have sensitive, exploratory conversations around weight stigma and body composition in your client and group sessions.
3.
Shift away from or STOP coaching or advising intentional fat loss or weight loss (understand why this is of particular importance if you are a white person!)
4.
Cultivate fitness and health spaces where people of all body sizes feel more comfortable.
5.
Understand the racial origins of anti-fatness, differences between body image and body positivity, and how practitioners must understand their body size and skin privilege.
6.
Examine your anti-fat bias as a health practitioner and why people in larger bodies feel dissuaded, fearful, or unsafe from entering your spaces.

“The Body Talk workshop with Jessie, Chrissy King and Erin Bogle was extremely impactful for me. This workshop helped me to recognize the importance of not centring myself on conversations of body image and body positivity as a cis, white, small-bodied female. It has given me a new outlook on how I want to show up online, and recognizing that I need to continuously acknowledge my privilege in these areas."
