Bridget shares her personal weight loss journey, utilizing both Western and Indigenous Knowledge. Bridget struggled with obesity and weight related health issues for over 25 years, trying a variety of fad diets, exercise regimes, medications, and weight loss surgery, with no long-term success. Bridget turned to her traditional teachings and practices, along with weight loss counselling, where she finally found the tools to heal from her unhealthy relationship with food and sustain healthy weight loss and body wellness.  This journey has inspired Bridget’s path to being a helper and the development of Indigenous pathways to a healthy relationship with food.

Feel free to share with those who would benefit from attending the series.

Have a good day!
