LORI HENRY

Lori's experience with bulimia began when she was 12 years old.  The constant obsessing and anxiety caused her to put a smile on her face, even while fighting through the pain.   She continued her downward spiral during high school and was put on a wait list for treatment by her school counsellor.  This began her series of attempts at healing and her eventual full recovery from her eating disorder.   

She was the Editor of Beauty: You Define It magazine, an alternative youth publication that dealt with questioning mainstream beauty standards and our culture's fixation on outward appearance.   She has also worked intensively with local youth around issues such as body image, eating disorders and dieting.  She has published a book of poetry, Silent Screams, which was written when she was a teenager. The second printing was released in 2007. She also works as a freelance writer for various local and international publications.

Along with writing, Lori sat on the Advisory Committee of Jessie's Hope Society (formerly ANAD).  She currently acts as a Director of Shelley's Angels Society and the You Are Not Alone Eating Disorder Society.  She is a trained actor in theatre, film and television, and has had over 20 years of dance training.
