What members are saying:
This membership is a small but mighty group of like-minded women who are dealing with similar issues and experiences with aging and ageism, sexism, and body liberation, and as far as I can tell there's nothing else like it out there. The value of this community for me is inestimable--to know there's a place to bring all my conflicting feelings and experiences around being a woman in this culture who's growing older means a whole lot to me. Everyone is so kind and generous and willing to be vulnerable. I love this group.

Meet Deb
I’m excited that you are here! I’m Deb Benfield and I’ve helped hundreds of women heal their relationship with food, eating, and their bodies in my more than 35-year career as a Dietitian and Coach specializing in treating eating disorders. My work is trauma-informed and rooted in practices that support embodiment, body respect, and the firm belief that you are the expert of your body. When I turned 60, I turned my attention to understanding what choices support vitality and well-being in aging. My recent programs weave together the most up-to-date research in nutrition, body therapies, and behavioral science for Aging, through an anti-diet, body respect and pro-aging lens. My clients will tell you that I have a compassionate and empowering presence. I am fierce in my invitation to divest from the body hierarchy of our ageist diet and wellness culture.
