We are living through a pandemic affecting our youth’s mental and emotional health, since Covid19 took the world by surprise in 2020. Lack of routine, more screen time, less social encounters, more isolation, constant access to food and uncertainty greatly affects our children’s body image.
Moreover, body dissatisfaction is now recognised as a public health concern, associated with increased rates of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, unhealthy weight control behaviours and Eating Disorders.
This is why I support caretakers and schools wishing to instill a positive body image in their children.

TESTIMONIALS
“It was a truly wonderful experience to have Florence present to parents at Dubai College. She is knowledgeable, well-spoken and gives meaningful strategies that parents can take away and use at home. She has a confident yet approachable style that allows people to engage meaningfully with her material. Her knowledge and expertise are clearly evident, and she handled questions with ease and respect. We can highly recommend her talks in addressing topics of weight, body and eating concerns within school”.
Alison Kuit, Counsellor, Dubai College
“I cannot thank you enough for your time, support and expertise this morning. Your talk was so powerful and every single person in the room learnt such a great deal – you were phenomenal. I never realised how much we influence others even when we are not explicitly saying anything. You have opened our eyes! thanks again from us all at JPS.”
Rachel Higgins, Principal, Jumeirah Primary School
“We, at NAS Dubai, are so grateful to Florence for sharing her knowledge and expertise with our parents. Her talk delivery was excellent, backed up with relevant evidence and sound advice. Our parents left with ideas and tips in order to support their children to love themselves and as parents that is the most important gift we can pass on. Parental feedback was very positive stating that Florence was
‘Wonderful and very informative’ as well as ‘…fabulous. Honest, approachable and unafraid in recommending tough strategies.’ Thank you Florence, it was enlightening and I know you have made a real difference.”
