While contemplating impending plastic surgery to improve her appearance post-pregnancy, Taryn had a body image epiphany. A mother of three beautiful children, she wondered how on earth she could teach them the fundamental human right of accepting and loving one’s body if she was uncomfortable in her very own.
Taryn’s message has reached over 100 million people worldwide via social media and has seen her interviewed by Good Morning America, 60 Minutes and The Today Show and featured of the cover of Women’s Health and Fitness.
Despite being happily married, and successfully juggling motherhood with running a thriving photography business, Taryn Brumfitt was privately struggling with crippling body image issues. Close to resorting to plastic surgery to ‘fix’ her post-childbirth body, Taryn decided that what she really needed to change was not in fact her body, it was her attitude towards it.
This was the beginning of The Body Image Movement, a now an internationally recognised crusade that recognises the importance of body diversity, redefining and rewriting beauty ideals by harnessing and facilitating positive body image activism.
