Who were you
before society told you
who you shouldn’t be?
That’s who I want to help you reconnect with.

Over here, we are forever obsessed with
creating rebelliously soft
& powerful lives for reformed Good Girls.
Many of us spent the first half of our lives waiting for permission, fearful of disappointing others, seeking approval from others, and constantly changing ourselves to be what others needed us to be.
And as a result, we’ve reached middle age without truly knowing ourselves, what we desire, and how to create the dreams of our younger selves…and our bodies bare the blame.
Until now.

Hiya! I’m Teri
Recovered Good Girl,
body image educator,
speaker, coach, & author.
For the last decade, I’ve been helping other recovering Good Girls, People Pleasers and Grown Women lead rebelliously soft & powerful lives by helping them shift their relationship to their bodies. Whether that’s by creating a beautiful, inviting retreat experience through Body Image Bootcamp, championing them inside of The Wandering, or using words - spoken or written - to help rewire neural pathways (what I call Brain Magic), my goal is to help you ditch the “shoulds” for the “coulds” and live a more liberated life.

Listen as I dispel the secrets behind why we hate the way we look in photos in this TedX Winnipeg talk!

“You can stay uncomfortable where you are or get uncomfortable where you are going - but only one of those gets you closer to where you want to be.”
— Teri Hofford
I am no stranger to the discomfort that comes with swimming upstream to stay true to one’s authentic self.

WHAT OTHER FOLKS
ARE SAYING
“Meeting Teri is an experience in itself . You know when you meet someone and you just want to be around their energy... this is one of those people.
What sets Teri apart is how she will navigate the complexities of self-image and empowerment. Teri tackles the hard questions and challenges the status quo. She encourages introspection and growth, understanding that true transformation arises from confronting discomfort. With her laughter, funny phrases, kindness, and boundless passion, she's not only reshaping boudoir photography but also paving the way for a more inclusive and compassionate world. Teri isn't just someone to follow – she's someone who's changing the world, one photograph at a time. I have met her a few times, been in an interview with her YouTube channel, she pushed me to look at things differently, I have read her books and taken her classes. I just wanted to shout you out and just fan girl a bit. YOU WILL CHANGE THE WORLD you already have.”
