Women of Color and Physical Activity

I talked with Eva Camarena briefly about her work as a therapist and how she thinks about the interconnection between physical activity and mental health. Here’s what she said:

Eva Camarena

“I would say that I tend to specialize with women, immigrants and People of Color. I like to assist in helping them realize how regular physical activity allows them to manage stressors. I especially like to redefine self-care in a manner that works for them, including physical activity. For so many women and non-dominant groups "exercise" can feel shaming or stigmatizing. I have conversations about how physical activity is powerful for managing mood and feeling good in your body. It is something we all deserve and can be defined individually.”
