Dr Stephanie Damiano is an expert in the development of body dissatisfaction in children, and parenting practices that can lead to the development of a positive body image. 

 

Steph led our paper on a measure of role modelling of positive body image, and is currently working with the Butterfly Foundation on the development of a whole-of-primary school body image program in Australia. 

Jessica M. Alleva is an Assistant Professor at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. Her research focuses on body functionality – everything the body is able to do – and techniques for improving positive body image among women.

 

Jess developed the Expand Your Horizon Program, involving journaling about body functionality- a resource that we have adapted and made specific for mothers.
