Company Profile
Empowered Wellness
Company Overview
The camp that puts teens and young adults in charge of their health, weight, and happiness.
We believe everyone, at every age, deserves the knowledge, confidence and skills to reach and maintain their best weight – the weight where they’re healthiest and happiest – throughout their lives.
Our mission is to translate the best available science on weight management, body image, eating and food behaviors and health into the know-how and life skills that empower campers to make confident health choices every day of their lives.
We’re not the food police or drill sergeants. We're not a fat camp or a weight loss boot camp, where everything’s about the number on the scale. We don’t tear you down in the name of short-term "results" that won't last.
Our goal, every day, for every camper, is simple: health, happiness, and self-compassion -- for life.
Company History
Empowered Wellness CEO & co-founder Eliza Kingsford, MA, LPC, NCC is changing the national conversation around healthy weight loss and weight maintenance for teens and young adults with a refreshing emphasis on positive body image and self-compassion.
She is the author of Brain-Powered Weight Loss and has been featured on CNN, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, WebMD, Shape Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Health, Healthline, Mental Health Weekly, Parade Magazine and others.
Eliza’s approach recognizes that weight is the result of a complex network of factors. It replaces outdated, simplistic “eat less, move more” advice with a biopsychosocial approach to health, happiness and weight.
Even more important: it's an approach that empowers teens and young adults through practical evidence-based life skills and daily habits proven to help people achieve and sustain their goals.
As clinical and executive director for national weight management programs, Eliza’s vision has been shaped through her collaborations with noted academic researchers and other practicing clinicians.
For over ten years she’s both been a leader and been mentored in body image, food addiction and recovery, dysfunctional eating and childhood obesity, building on her master’s degree in behavioral psychology from the University of Colorado.
The result is an approach that’s right for anyone who’s ever wanted to reach and maintain their best weight – the weight they’re happiest and healthiest at – and feel great about themselves regardless of the number on the scale.
