This project formed the first phase of my final year dissertation. It was an in-depth research project, comprising of a literature review and a great variety of primary and secondary research, that explored the mind-body connection of mothers with a particular focus on how body neutrality can positively impact new mothers’ sense of self and body image. It successfully responded to a research question and allowed me to form a conclusive set of insights and recommendations to take forward for the second phase of my dissertation (Willowful).
