Dear Lipedema Lovely Ladies, you are invited...
10 weeks of moving beyond the pain of chronic conditions
and falling madly in love with THE REAL YOU starts now!
An invitation to discover & reveal the REAL YOU!
Watch this short message below from Peter Hurley, world-renowned headshot photographer & faculty with The Real You.
How often have you felt shame about your body? Shame about having fat arms, hips, or legs?
Or what about the times that you feel negatively towards yourself and others as a result of having to endure so much pain... and then not knowing how to improve your flawed relationship with yourself?
The gap between your current health journey and the best quality of life with lipedema/lymphedema cannot be filled by knowledge alone.
We developed The Real You MasterClass with choices in your quest for self-discovery... so you can enrich your life even with your chronic conditions.
We offer a safe space to transform your relationship with yourself & your body.
Bridging the self-acceptance gap
Excerpt from TEDxCambridge Talk at MIT with Peter Hurley
Revealing & Capturing The Real You
Peter Hurley is a world renowned headshot photographer. He said in his TEDx talk on Self-Acceptance, "All I want is to capture the real you!"
Rod Flores, one of Peter's proteges, and a professional photographer in his own right, severely burned in an accident will join with us as well. Rod celebrates beyond "beauty standards" capturing the essence of elegance and dignity in his photography.
Take advantage of this remarkable opportunity to explore, discover, and reveal, The Real You... each and every one of us. Join us for the online classes (and the retreat & photoshoot TBD) if you feel ready for this adventure.
NOTE: Peter & Rod are faculty for The Real You Project 2022 doing the photoshoot (TBD), and joining us for parts of the MasterClass.
"I spent many years trying to find a reason for my continuous unexplained weight gain primarily in my lower body. When I found out about lipedema, it answered MANY questions. I’ve lost 85 lbs in 2 years with a keto and carnivore eating plan. More importantly I am regaining my mobility. And I LOVE seeing the REAL ME reappear. Thank you Lipedema Simplified & The Real You."
~ Zite H.
"Life is an adventure - come join me!" ~Marguerite
"It's nice to finally have a name for what I have let give me a negative body image for most of my life. Being referred to as fat and overweight or obese, while also having a medical professional refer to me as a "boney-landmark" when setting up an EKG, had always been confusing. How could I possibly be obese and boney at the same time? Now I know. Thank you!"
~ Kristin A.
"It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project." ~ Napoleon Hill
"My journey has been about learning to love my body because it is me, not because it fits someone else's artificial standards. Self-love is an inside job and I participated in The Real You to help uncover what I had been hiding from the world and from myself."
~ Rebekah S.
“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” ~ Coco Chanel
"I just feel like I am in right place, with right people who are just amazing. And all this is like a miracle. It's a lifesaver, I would say. And I wish more people would know about this and know that Lipedema Simplified exist. These people really know what they doing."
~ Agnieszka S.
"Expressing love and kindness to ourselves creates greater feelings of happiness and generosity that we can also share with others." ~Anon
