Inbodied Conversations

Two local women are setting out to de-bunk prominently held cultural beliefs about health, weight, food and body. Erin Harrison, Registered Dietitian, and Tina Rader, Registered Clinical Social Worker, are proposing radically different ideas. Informed by the Health At Every Size movement in the UK and the USA, Erin and Tina have developed InBodied Conversations. They offer workshops and retreats as well as individual counseling focused on debunking notions linking health with weight loss, body image with notions ultimately promoting body-hatred, challenge diet thinking and assist people to advocate for their health with health care professionals and the public in the face of weight based discrimination. Erin and Tina believe it is the right of each person to have body trust. Body trust means being intuitively connected to your body, hearing your hunger and satiety cues, treating your body with compassion and kindness, moving your body in ways that feel good and bring joy to your heart, being able to hear your heart when it speaks to you and having the skills to nourish and nurture you heart and body. Tina and Erin are Health At Every Size trained facilitators bringing many years of clinical wisdom in the health care field to their workshops and retreats. Their radical and revolutionary ideas liberate participants from the oppression of diet thinking and food and weight obsession. They promote a return to an attitude of kindness towards self and joyful body movement. Erin and Tina invite participants to compassionately develop a more attuned relationship with food, body and self. Well Now workshops will be held in Comox at Core Fitness Studio beginning October 3-31, 5-9 pm. In Campbell River at the Campbell River Community Centre beginning November 7-28, 5-9 pm. Getting To The Heart of IT, retreat is planned for January venue TBA. For more information and to register for fall courses contact: info@InBodied.ca or 250-218-7113.
