New York, NY (PressExposure) April 26, 2010 -- Margaret first offered her Lingerie Diet services of compassionate lingerie consulting exclusively to her NYC lingerie shopping clients.

Margaret's mission is for every woman is "that she enjoy her size, shape and age at every point throughout her lifetime." She took her expertise, desire to make a positive impact in women's lives and created "The Lingerie Diet", which teaches the concept that lingerie nourishes a woman's soul much like a diet of healthy food nourishes our bodies.
Margaret provides her fine lingerie expertise throughout every section of "The Circle". The core feature is the 30-Day Lingerie Diet Challenge which offers a four week curriculum with 7 daily tasks each week. The four weeks topics are Lingerie University, Self-Love & Care, Community and Maintenance. The challenge is designed to deliver a woman through her own "Lingerie Rite of Passage", which is described as the process of teaching, uncovering and working through any body issue related resistance a woman might have to embracing lingerie as an empowering tool in her life. Margaret further describes the feeling of attaining it as the tipping point 'ah-ha' moment that a woman realizes that she can use lingerie to feel good everyday with a higher self-esteem and confidence about who she is as a woman, regardless of any judgement.
In addition to the 30-Day Challenge, Circle content is updated monthly with interviews, articles, tips and tools, expert advice, Margaret's favorite picks, featured members, Q & A with Margaret, Circle columnists and a forum allowing members to interact and share their ups, downs and personal insights.
One example of how Margaret offers her brand of compassionate lingerie consulting is by encouraging members to explore and discover their innate sensuality through the "Self-Love & Care" section, as she prescribes them to wear their lingerie investments daily and share their experiences with the Circle community. Another section, "Lingerie University" - for instance, teaches women how to find that perfect fitting bra you've been searching for, how to properly care for your lingerie and how to build the lingerie wardrobe of your dreams.
While resistance to such sensitive issues and vulnerabilities is natural and to be expected by members, there is a constant reminder that an new transformative and liberating sense of self awaits just on the other side. The strong communal support is echoed by encouraging members who can vouch for having gone through it feeling emotionally victorious and ever-more empowered.
The message of "The Lingerie Diet" is quickly gaining popularity and is now available to women everywhere at an affordable price through "The Lingerie Diet's Circle Membership".
