Meet Katie…
Katie is the founder and CEO of Natural Model Management and the incredible body positive platform Healthy is the New Skinny. Using her 15 years of experience in the modelling industry as a curve model, Katie strives to change the game of self-love by approaching the topic of body image from an intellectual viewpoint vs. an irrational and emotional one. By breaking down the “skinny” beauty ideal and exposing its origins, agenda, and harmful effect it is having on society, Katie empowers people to choose their health over the beauty ideal implemented by the media, and provides the tools needed to create lasting change.
