End of Year Reflect & Connect
Date: November, 8th | Time: 10:45AM | Location: San Anselmo, Marin
Let's talk about it.
I host gatherings and workshops for women navigating complicated relationships with their bodies, appearance, and self-image. Each session weaves together journaling, group sharing, and open conversation—an invitation to unpack, and even challenge, the messages we’ve been sold about our bodies and our appearance our whole lives.
The workshops are intentionally small and intimate, and open to women of all ages who are ready to create a new relationship with themselves, and connect with others doing the same.
The values that ground this work.
Courage
It takes courage to show up as you are and be open about what you're going through. Talking about your struggles, especially when it comes to something so personal like your appearance, can be hard. But in that vulnerability is where real growth happens—allowing yourself to be seen, even when it’s tough.
Connection
I get how isolating it can feel to struggle with body image on your own. That’s why at the heart of these events is connection. Connecting with others who truly get what you're going through, so you can feel seen, heard, and supported.
Curiosity
Curiosity is about being open to learning—both about yourself and others. It’s about questioning the beliefs you've held about yourself, and listening to others’ experiences without judgment. When we approach this work with curiosity, we create space for growth, understanding, and connection.
Hi I'm Pam
For most of my life, I’ve had a complicated relationship with my body and appearance. I remember, even as a little girl, internalizing the belief that there was a “right” way to look—and if you didn’t meet that standard, something was wrong with you.
Then, as if I wasn’t self-conscious enough already, came the acne. I was 12 when I got my first pimple, and from that point on, I felt like I was at war with my skin. With every inflamed pimple, painful cyst, and the deepening scars they left behind, it became harder to recognize the reflection staring back at me.
It’s been a 15-year journey, but what I’ve learned is that it was never just about my skin—it was about how tightly I had tied my worth to my appearance. I didn’t realize how much the hypervigilance and self-scrutiny were affecting my nervous system, to the point where I felt so disconnected from my body.
Through a lot of self-reflection (and much-needed therapy), I began unpacking those limiting beliefs; “I’m only worthy if I have clear skin” and “My value lies in my appearance.” Through this journey, I’ve also learned that healing isn’t a one time thing or a single positive affirmation. It’s a daily practice, a choice to show up every day with self-compassion instead of self-criticism.
So now, my mission is to help other women who’ve felt this too. To create spaces where women can come together, share their experiences, and have honest conversations that challenge the messages we’ve been fed about our worth and our bodies.
And to remind ourselves that we are so much more than how we look.
