Nourishment Works offers a Body Image Group to encourage community support and serve as an educational tool during your process of body healing. The following is additional information to help you decide if this group is a good fit!

As a practice, we regularly guide our clients through the process of dismantling internal and external anti-fat bias and discovering body liberation. This group allows folks to come together in the community for connection and support as we move through each week together. It is not required but recommended that you have the support of a mental health professional to compliment the work of the group and allow for processing.

Our first group session is full of activities to get the group connected and build safety. Each remaining week, the group is run in a classroom format where we dive deep into topics surrounding body image. In a welcoming and supportive atmosphere, we will have space for checking in, and as we end each group, we will have space for closure. The group participants will be lead through activities that will unpack topics along with assignments that will help solidify and build your strengths. Body image topics will include:

Compassion practices for the body
History of anti-fat bias and beauty standards
Self-image vs body image
Movement
Separating health from appearance
Grieving the thin ideal/body grief
Deepening attunement with the body

This group is currently being offered virtually and is 8 weeks in length. An intake session with one of the facilitators is required to join. The out of pocket cost is $60 per group session. BCBS PPO, Blue Choice PPO, United Healthcare & Medicare plans accepted.
