Healthy is the New Skinny is a multi-platform movement to bring a message of health, joy, and responsibility to the beauty and the fashion industries. Through bold and creative initiatives, HNS works with media, corporate, and modeling partners to create lasting change.

The Perfectly Unperfected Project is the non-profit outreach arm of Healthy is the New Skinny. Founded by Katie Halchishick and Dr. Hugo Schwyzer, PUP brings a powerful, interactive multi-media presentation about health, self-esteem, and transformation to schools, universities, and general audiences.

Our HNS team members, over 30 of them, are flying from all over the country to be here for our week long high school tour in Seattle. Currently, we have not found any sponsors, so everyone is coming here on their own dime, to be a part of this amazing experience, because they believe in the HNS/PUP message so much.  We have models, straight, curvy and in-between, musicians, songwriters, actors, fathers, mothers, fitness experts, you name it coming from all over to help inspire.  I would love to share more with you!

Our schedule of events are as follows-

February 6- Mount Vernon High School
February 7-Stanwood High School
February 8-Chimacum High and Port Townsend High Schools
Burlington-Edison High School Evening Community Event 7pm
February 9- La Conner High School
