"Breaking Barriers to Body Confidence: Compassionate, Culturally Inclusive Support for Body Image and Eating Disorder Awareness."
Hello and Welcome!
As a Dietitian, Counsellor, and expert in eating disorders and body image, I know that even with the best intentions to support young people, we often miss the mark if we don't fully consider their faith, cultural, emotional, and personal experiences.
That’s why I offer more than just information—I provide practical, culturally sensitive strategies that empower students to build confidence, embrace their worth, and develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. My approach goes beyond just preventing eating disorders—it’s about fostering long-term emotional and physical wellness that honors each young person’s individuality.
You can expect me to debunk myths around food, weight, and body image, while providing actionable solutions that encourage self-acceptance, resilience and a deeper sense of purpose. Together, we’ll equip students with the tools they need to thrive—empowered to make informed decisions, grounded in faith, and embrace their full potential.
It’s time to bring forward a conversation that supports young people—not just in understanding food and body image, but in embracing wellness that honours who they are, where they come from, and the unique purpose they have in this world.
Let’s work together to build confidence, one young person at a time.
What is The Confident Club?
The Confident Club is a program that empowers kids, teens, parents, and educators to build body confidence, self-esteem, and a positive mindset, all while honoring their faith, culture, and individuality. Through tailored workshops, we provide tools to develop healthy eating habits and embrace their unique qualities in a supportive environment.
Our workshops are designed with a focus on the People of Colour (POC), Faith and diverse communities, addressing societal pressures, unrealistic beauty standards, and the role of faith in fostering resilience. By offering culturally and faith-sensitive support, we help young individuals and their families navigate these challenges and build lasting confidence and well-being.
Vision
To cultivate a nurturing community where every young person, grounded in faith and cultural understanding, feels empowered to embrace their individuality, develop a positive self-image, and build lasting confidence. We aspire to create a future where all children and adolescents experience holistic well-being, feel valued, and are equipped to reach their full potential, free from the pressures of diet culture and body image struggles

What is this all about?
The Confident Club workshops are here to support students, parents, and educators in fostering confidence, resilience, and a positive body image through a culturally and faith-sensitive lens.
For students, these workshops provide tools to embrace their individuality, build self-esteem, and develop healthy relationships with food and their bodies. For parents and educators, we offer the guidance and strategies needed to create supportive environments where young people can thrive.
Let’s face it—kids are already absorbing messages about body image and beauty standards from the world around them. These workshops ensure they’re learning in a way that empowers them rather than pressures them.
Interactive, engaging, and practical, these sessions bring students, parents, and educators together in a shared mission to nurture a generation of confident, self-assured young people. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—let’s do it together.
