Bodycraft Launch Innovative Bodycraft Style After-Weight-Loss Image Consultancy

London (PRWEB UK) 8 May 2012

Building on an established reputation as an expanding and innovative weight loss provider, Bodycraft is extending its range of post-bariatric services with Bodycraft Style, an innovative image consultancy programme designed specifically for those that have lost large amounts of weight.

Bodycraft Weight Loss provides bariatric surgery for overweight and obese patients, offering procedures such as the gastric band, bypass or sleeve to help their patients lose weight.

As leading providers of bariatric surgery in the UK, Bodycrafts team know that overweight and obese patients can be very unsure as to how to dress and what styles of clothing to choose as they lose weight. Bodycraft is extending its range of post-bariatric services with Bodycraft Style, an innovative image consultancy programme designed specifically for those that have lost large amounts of weight.

Prior to losing weight, patients will often have spent years in plus-size clothing, working with limited choices and choosing loose styles to disguise their size. Losing weight is a tremendous achievement and one of the key ways to measure success is in seeing the dress size get smaller and being able to shop normally.

Although it may sound like a nice problem to have, it can be quite a problem to know what styles, cuts and fashions to choose to suit their changing body-shape.

Bodycraft know how important it is to help keep patients confidence high and reward weight loss success, so they have joined forces with qualified Image Consultant, Nicoletta Adda, to launch Bodycraft Style, a tailor-made image consultancy service especially targeted at those that are losing, or have lost, dramatic amounts of weight.

The Bodycraft Style service starts with a detailed style consultation, assessing the clients lifestyle, body-shape and personality and identifying the most appropriate styles. The programme then looks at the most flattering shapes, fabrics and cuts to flatter the figure, while drawing attention away from any problem areas. A colour consultation is also included, to identify which shades and palettes best complement the patients natural colouring.

Bodycraft Style Image Consultant, Nicoletta Adda, explained: This session will give you the essential knowledge of how to build a functional and co-ordinated wardrobe that complements and enhances your physical characteristics and suits your personality and lifestyle. Learning how to best dress for your figure and personality will dramatically increase your self-confidence and visibility, both socially and professionally.

Finally, Bodycraft Styles unique approach to wardrobe management reviews what to throw away and when, as well as what styles to choose. This process is aimed at optimising existing garments and prolonging their life through different combinations and alterations whenever possible, in order to be cost-effective. It will also identify any gaps and recommend replacements and additions to meet present and future needs.

Bodycraft Style is a one-day programme which provides clients with the knowledge and tools they need to dress with confidence for their changing body-shape. If required, a second day is available which will include a planned, coordinated and fully accompanied personal shopping day.

Bodycraft Style is available to any person who is losing or has lost large amounts of weight. This includes ex-NHS and other private weight loss surgery patients as well as those that have found success with diet, exercise and other programmes.

A spokesperson for the company said Bodycraft Style is an exciting new launch for us. It is an optional, additional service which recognises the success patients have had with their weight loss and helps them to make the most of it in presenting their new selves to the world.

Perhaps more importantly, a Bodycraft Style makeover is an excellent treat which our patients can reward themselves with, providing not only some practical tools and knowledge, but also a valuable confidence boost with deep and long-lasting benefits. Losing weight is a fantastic achievement and Bodycraft Style helps patients to feel good about their results.

Bodycraft offers a full range of weight loss surgery procedures, including the gastric band, bypass and sleeve, as well as the non-surgical gastric balloon. Patients are supported before, during and after surgery by professional and dedicated dietitians, nurses and counsellors as well as Consultant Bariatric Surgeons, to ensure that patients get the best results from surgery. Bodycraft have an expanding network of clinics and hospitals across London and the South East.

Patients can call Bodycraft on freephone 0800 862 0343 or email info(at)bodycraftweightloss(dot)co(dot)uk to request a confidential consultation with a Weight Loss Surgeon or to learn more about Bodycraft Style. http://www.bodycraftweightloss.co.uk for further information.

WellBalance Promotes National Mental Health Awareness Month with Weight Loss Camp Curriculum


Asheville, NC (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

WellBalance, a leading health organization that runs summer weight loss camps & residential adult programs for ages 20-29, is promoting National Mental Health Awareness Month by emphasizing the healthy diet and exercise habits overweight and obese individuals need to improve.

As part of the mental health curriculum for this summers weight loss camp as well as the Support at Home program for alumni, WellBalance has modified its assessments, lifestyle coaching, and nutritional counseling that will help develop and reinforce the diet and exercise changes conducive to healthy living. WellBalance will provide this behavioral curriculum with weight loss campers this summer as well as share some of this insight on John Taylors Weight Loss Blog.

One of the biggest struggles our campers face is altering their self-perception, said John Gordon, WellBalance CEO. Many of our campers come to us feeling like they cant be successful in achieving their ambitions. Our mental health approach is such a critical element of our healthy living approach. Campers are able to deconstruct reasons why they dont see themselves being successful, and then come up with strategies with will allow them to meet their long-term wellness goals. At WellBalance, we aim for all of our campers to leave knowing how to lead healthier, happier lives.

Mental Health Awareness Month was started by the National Mental Health Association in 1949, and they aim to increase awareness of mental health through two different themes. Their Do More for 1 in 4 campaign promotes to the one in four Americans who live with a diagnosable and treatable mental health condition that they can achieve recovery. The Healing Trauma’s Invisible Wounds emphasizes the impact of traumatic events on individuals and families, something that many WellBalance campers have experiences with.

We have worked with a number of campers who have experienced a great deal of emotional trauma in their lives, said John Taylor, Vice-President of Programs at WellBalance. Whether it is bullying, social isolation, or a very poor self-image, WellBalance campers benefit from health coaching sessions led by licensed clinicians. One of our biggest goals is to help campers realize that while reaching a healthy weight is important, they are worth a heck of a lot more than the number on the scale indicates, and they deserve to be happy.

According to a 2010 study in the Journal of School Health, a clear relationship exists between obese youth and negative body images, symptoms of depression, poor self-esteem, and being unable to develop feelings of happiness. WellBalance aims to help our weight loss campers overcome all of these negative feelings, and as part of National Mental Health Month, continue to offer our continual care through our Support at Home program to help clients continue their journey towards a healthy lifestyle.

For more information about WellBalance fitness and weight loss camps and the mental health curriculum for overweight adolescents, please contact John Gordon at (800) 975-0435.
