I educate photographers on understanding body image, shattering self limiting beliefs, and getting out of their comfort zone to help them design a life that is fulfilling, honest, passionate and impactful.
After years of hearing woman after woman apologize for her body, I knew I needed to do something different - something MORE. The women that graced my lens needed MORE than just the glorious pictures I took if they were going to truly take home the empowerment and confidence they felt that day in my studio, so I set out to research and study the psychology of body image. It was through this research that I had an A HA! Moment! BODY IMAGE ISN’T ABOUT THE BODY. As a result, I started to work with my clients to help them see beyond their bodies, to liberate them from the corset of societal beauty standards through the mediums of photography, writing and speaking. Now, I am fortunate enough to work as an educator and coach for humans like yourself, both one on one and in group settings, to give them the same life changing tools, resources, and information so that they can work on healing their own body and self image issues, thus enabling them to live a life free of diet culture and shame.
MEDIA BIO:
Teri Hofford is a body image & mindset coach and educreator who helps humans have a better understanding of how body image impacts their work and lives. She has been referred to as an emotional dominatrix and "Tough Love Teri" for her bold approach to personal responsibility and self love. After having been at both ends of the weight spectrum herself, Teri realized that achieving the "perfect" body was not the answer, but rather, finding contentment with the size and shape that one is at in the present is the key to feeling complete and confident. From this, Teri created what she refers to as her empowerment empire, which includes a photography business, everyBODIES Education, an education resource for photographers to diversify the types of bodies we see in the media, The Boudoir University and BODY IMAGE BOOTCAMP (™) workshops to help women cope with their body image issues. Teri's mission is to challenge humans to shift their focus from constantly changing their bodies so they can start changing the world.
