“If there is one thing to say about Judith, it’s this: she delivers. We hired Judith to provide a several-hour in-person presentation to nurses and other health care practitioners on weight stigma in the clinical setting. We were delighted with our choice – Judith’s presentation was interactive, reflective, and highly educational. She was a delight to collaborate with from start to finish. Having worked extensively with presenters of varied experience and expertise, I can say confidently that Judith brings a fresh approach to the standard workshop format. It takes courage to speak with compassion on the harm of weight bias to a room of skeptical health care providers. Judith broadened the perspective of every person in that room (myself included!) with a blend of gentle affirmation and evidence-based information delivery that is as powerful as it is original. Thank you, Judith! You are one of a kind, and it was a privilege to work together.” – Carly Marco, Training Manager, HCETCarly MarcoHCET
Extremely motivating! Life-changing! I came to learn more about eating issues to help my clients, and came away with a wealth of information that I will use in my own life. Thank you! Paula M. Workshop ParticipantAnn Arbor, MI
Judith Matz delivered an insightful presentation titled "Fostering a Healthy Body Image: Changing the Conversation about Dieting, Food and Weight" to our parent group at Helping Girls Navigate Adolescence (HGNA). Her well-researched material was presented in a way that was entertaining and appealing to the audience. Using humor and evidence, Judith engaged the audience, who recognized the challenges parents and girls face fostering positive body image in a culture that cherishes external appearances at any cost. Participants left with achievable ways to create change in their own families and communities. Judith was easy to work with, and very willing to adapt her material to meet our organization's needs. Her audio-visual presentation supported her information without being distracting. HGNA gives Judith Matz our highest recommendation for groups of parents or kids addressing this important topic.
