Being female in today’s world isn’t easy.
How we feel about ourselves and our bodies can be extremely complicated. Learning how to dissect the media's manipulative messaging, as well as celebrating our unique and diverse appearances, can help liberate girls and women from the harmful patterns of comparison, disordered eating, self-hate, and criticism that these messages tend to promote.
Imagine a world where girls and women are kinder to themselves, so that they can be kinder to others; a world where women are encouraged to do good instead of look good; and a world where women feel truly good about themselves without diet pressure, shame, criticism, and external validation. Imagine if women could SHINE from their inside beauty and spread their light by living their purpose!
The Shine series of workshops is designed to foster conversation around these topics in ways that are age-appropriate in hopes of recasting the foundation on which girls and women define beauty and value their inner worth. I also offer a workshop for camp counselors to help them create a culture of body positivity in girls’ camps! Read below for workshop options and more info.

“Participating in the Shine Body Love Workshop helped address my body image issues and gave me great advice on supporting my daughter's positive body image. Cristin was thoughtful, gentle, and knowledgeable as our facilitator, and expertly moved us through the workshop, letting our conversations flow naturally. It was refreshing to hear from other women and learn from each other's experiences and perspectives!” – Ana A.
