Anne Poirier

Having struggled with my own eating, food, weight and body image challenges, I Founded Shaping Perspectives, A Woman’s Way to Joy and wrote my memoir/self help book the Body Joyful: My Journey from Self-Loathing to Self-Acceptance to share with a new, more compassionate way to think, act and live. (with the help of my pioneering work with Body Neutrality) And newly released book for 8-12 year olds called Not a Fat Annie. My mission is to support, encourage and inspire women of all sizes, shapes and weights feel more comfortable and confident in their own bodies and selves, so they know their true worth. Knowing women need a non-judgmental safe space to be heard, seen and understood, I created a private Facebook community called The Body Joyful Revolution. I am the mother of 2 adult daughters, and live on Hilton Head Island with my husband Tim. I love walks on the beach, capturing sunrises pictures, collecting sand dollars, dancing to 80's music in my driveway, and swinging on a swing.
