Our 2022 World Vitiligo Day Recordings:

‘Feel confident with your vitiligo this summer’
Natalie Jones, Coach at Every Body Beautiful
After developing Vitiligo and feeling low self worth and confidence as a result, Natalie spent the past decade researching how to heal her skin and restore her confidence. She studied how nutrition, lifestyle habits and mindset work together to support and nourish our skin. Along the way, she gained valuable insight into what really matters most when it comes to the wellbeing of our skin and truly being happy in it. She felt so passionate about sharing what she’s learned to help others with skin conditions, she trained to become a coach and now enjoys sharing her unique approach to help skin journeys feel easier.
On World Vitiligo Day, Natalie is excited to share some helpful tips for feeling more at ease in our own skin during summer. Natalie understands how we can have mixed feelings about revealing our skin, so she wants to share some key mindset strategies that helped her shift her attitude towards summer so she could actually enjoy it more freely again. Natalie believes we all deserve to feel good in our own skin and she’s excited for you to feel more at ease this summer too!
