Body Image Bootcamp Gone Wild
My name is Teri Hofford and I am a body image activist, boudoir specialist and creator of Body Image Bootcamp.
I created Body Image Bootcamp after noticing that some clients needed more mental work than just an empowering photo shoot, so I set out to learn everything I could about body image, the psychology behind it, and what we currently do to foster our negative behaviors. I also started to look at resources available to the average human who has a less than desireable feeling towards their body , but unless you suffer from a full fledged eating disorder, there was no mental health support groups or classes....so I created one.
Being able to facilitate workshops that resonate with your WHY in your business will help you not only become closer with your clients, but also set you apart from other people in the same field as you. When we go beyond our medium, we become experts in our field and that's exactly what I would love to see for you!
PREVIOUSLY, BODY IMAGE BOOTCAMP HAS BEEN ONLY TAUGHT BY ONE PERSON. ME. BUT THAT'S CHANGING.
Since I launched the facilitator program in 2018, we have seen 17 babes from all across North America become certified facilitators and join me in sharing the message that your body doesn't have to hold you back from living the life you dream of. As a body image activist, I feel that it is my job to help improve the lives and self love relationships of as many people as possible. As one person, however, I am only capable of affecting a certain amount of people every year, HOWEVER, if I can teach others how to execute and facilitate a workshop designed to help their clients explore their body image issues, then together we can exponentially effect more and more people.
The intent of Body Image Bootcamp is to explore your body image, educate you on why we believe the bullshit we do, and empower you to take control of your thought processes, thus enabling you to move forward and work towards more important things!
So, join us in Mexico for a relaxing environment to explore your own body image issues and learn to facilitate your OWN Body Image Bootcamp!
Because they don’t teach self love in school
I’m sure it’s not surprise that 91% of women dislike their body and the average girl starts dieting around the age of 8. From the time we are little, the world seems to tell us how small to be (there’s no such thing as small enough), how to hide ourselves if we don’t fit the beauty standard (less than 4% of people do), and how you should feel shame about your beautiful, magical body.
As a boudoir photographer, I had the pleasure of photographing and speaking to hundreds of women every year and with this, I was able to see firsthand the damage that diet culture, the beauty industry, and even our own parents, have played in the shrinking and shaming of women. As a result, I created Body Image Bootcamp, a workshop designed to help women understand their body image issues, accept the role they play in the continuation of their own oppression, and move forward to create a life less impacted by how we look.
My goal is to help you shift your focus from changing your body to changing the world.
Now, there are 4 different ways that you can get some of this Body Image Bootcamp goodness into your life!
By doing this course as a group, you will be surrounded by women who are here to help you as they help themselves and everyone is in this together. You will soon realize, that after listening to the support of other babes, that you are NOT alone and you have a girl gang of awesomeness to help you when you feel low.

1. Book Teri to facilitate a full day session -
$2500 CAD (approx $166/pp up to 15 attendees)
The full day session usually starts at 10am and will go until 4pm. The full day gives your attendees a Body Image Bootcamp “toolkit” which contains journals, art supplies, and handouts to continue their body image journey AFTER the course is all done. In addition, the participants will get to partake in a Bubble graduation ceremony!
This course is great if you plan on having more than 10 people attend.
2. Book Teri to facilitate a half day session - $1800 CAD (approx $180/pp up to 10 people)
The half day session takes the most important parts of the full day session and packs it into a 3-4 hour event. While there is no “tool kit” included in the half day event, Teri will bring along worksheets for the attendees to help them on their journey to body liberation!
3. Book Teri to facilitate a half day ZOOM session - $1200 (approx $120/pp if you have 10 people)
While I can’t be everywhere at once, the ZOOM session allows me to drop this knowledge while you and your attendees are in the comfort of your own location. Ahead of time I will send you handouts that will need to be printed before the event and we will find a day/time that works for us. We will do a “test” connection 30 minutes before your guests are scheduled to arrive to ensure we get rid of any technical issues.
You can either have your attendees join you at a location of your choosing OR share the ZOOM link with them so they can participate from the comfort of their home!
4. Body Image Bootcamp Facilitator Program
Our Body Image Bootcamp facilitator program allows you to go through the program and then learn how to apply the information to the people in your community. Our BIBC facilitator retreats happen once/year, usually in sunny Puerto Vallarta where you get to be immersed in the sisterhood for an entire week at a beautiful Mexican Casa.
