Reflections in the Mirror: Feeling Confident with your Ostomy
Speakers: LeeAnne Hayden and Ryan Van Voorhis
Body image can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to hold you back. In this webinar we will talk about the ups and downs of body image and how to feel good in your own skin, ostomy and all. We’ll share real stories, practical tips, and a few laughs to remind you that you’re not alone in this. To help you take what we discuss and put it into action, we’ll also be including a 30-day challenge to keep the conversation—and the confidence—going all month long. Join us for a down-to-earth, honest talk about what it really means to show up for yourself.
Register to submit questions in advance of the live event and get the latest updates. Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at 5:00 pm PT.
UOAA VIRTUAL OSTOMY CLINIC
Ostomies change bodies and lives. People living with an ostomy need personalized suggestions and ongoing support from medical experts who really understand ostomies. In the healthcare system today, too many ostomates do not have the regular access to a certified ostomy nurse they need for a successful health journey. This is why UOAA has partnered with The Wound Company – to bring certified ostomy nurses to ostomates and their caregivers across the United States virtually.
