Gwen was a down-to-earth presenter. She shared great information and kept the discussion relevant for our group. Gwen was personable and made the presentation interactive by encouraging participants to write comments and questions in the chat. Gwen provided great tips for parents on how to respond to food messages sent home from school and peers. I would highly recommend Gwen as a presenter to parent groups and professionals.

I am a school principal and Gwen recently led a professional development session for our team of 30 Kindergarten staff. She was extremely engaging and helped us to understand the latest research surrounding food language and positive relationships with food. Gwen is an expert in her field and we will be reaching out to her again soon for additional training and consultation.

Gwen presented a workshop to our subject association, OFSHEEA (Ont Family Studies Home Economics Educators' Assoc). She was engaging, provided us with practical suggestions on how to approach the topic of diet culture in our classrooms. She knows her stuff and is up to date on the most recent research! We would highly recommend that you invite Gwen to present to your group of educators, health care professionals, etc.

Excellent presentation, highly recommend!

Gwen helped my colleagues and me to learn more about the impact that our language, customs and routines have on our ability to have positive relationships with food and our bodies. In working with children, we are responsible for teaching them to listen and trust their bodies, and to make choices that will ultimately put them in a better position to lead healthy and happy lifestyles. So much from our past practices in working with children around snack time and lunch time were engrained in a we've always done things this way" type of mentality. Gwen helped us to stop and reflect on how we can create positive and safe classroom environments that empower our students to trust themselves
