Gulfport Author, Health Coach To Host Weekend Health Retreat

GULFPORT, FL -- Gulfport author and health coach Gemma Rayne Fountain will host a weekend health retreat.

The retreat is scheduled for Aug. 4-5, at the TradeWinds Island Resort.

The event will feature two days of interactive learning in a supportive environment for women to feel confident about their bodies and positive about their weight loss goals.

The focus of the retreat will be on the principles taught in Fountain’s book, “The Elephant in The Room.”

The book helps women to address the negative self-chatter and self-sabotage preventing them from feeling body confident and achieving their ideal weight goals.

“There is so much pressure these days when it comes to our body image,” said Fountain, author and health coach. “Many of us have an unhealthy relationship with body image, diet and exercise. Our addiction to social media can also be harmful as it sets unhealthy expectations and views of what our bodies, health and beauty should look like,” said Fountain.

Fountain’s goal with the health retreat is to help women quiet the obnoxious inner voice to regain greater confidence in their bodies.

“We can often be very harsh with ourselves and are our own worst critic. Instead, we need to learn to be our best cheerleader and feel empowered to achieve our weight loss goals,” said Fountain.

Early bird registration for the event ends on July 17. Fountain’s book is available on Amazon.
