elf-Love Sisters is a new meet-up group started by Jackie Mart, a nutritionist and lifestyle coach specializing in
holistic living, and owner of Optimum Wellness MN, LLC. The group meets regularly throughout the month to
discuss and share experiences and trials with body images. Mart has planned different types of activities to support self-love and growth, including a wide variety of classes and workshops on varying topics. Cooking, nutrition, art, self-ex- ploration, yoga, fitness, movement, music, movies, jewelry, nature walks, makeup lessons and meditation are a sampling of the activities planned throughout the year. “There are very few women who truly feel comfortable in their skin.

I struggled with a negative body image, weight issues and eating disorder for over 12 years. I’m now able to share my story and empower and support others on their self-love journey,” explains Mart.
