Food & Body Freedom

Early February 2024 - Dates to be announced soon.

You will receive a weekly email on Saturday mornings with the theme for the week. This will include a relevant audio meditation as well as videos and worksheets for you to go through at your own pace.

We’ll meet as a group in-person on Tuesday evenings at 6.30pm to take a deep dive into the weekly topic. There will be an opportunity for coaching, questions, and discussion.

The cost of the 7-week course is $700.

You can pay the full amount up front, or in 2 instalments.

I don’t want cost to be an obstacle so I am also offering a payment plan where you can pay $100 over 7 months.

You will have access for the lifetime of the course (as long as we run the course, you will be able to access all the materials, including future upgrades and additions).

We promise to give you several months’ notice if we decide to retire the course (which will most likely mean that something even better is coming your way!)

Whilst life can be unpredictable, with unforeseen challenges popping up at times, you will get a lot out of attending the live coaching sessions, including an opportunity for some 1:1 input from me.

However, if you’re unable to make it, there will be a recording of each session that you can watch at a time that suits you.

This is an understandable fear and you’ve probably experienced many occasions where you decided to join a group and initially felt nervous. Maybe it was a walking group, or you went to a gym or yoga class for the first time, or you might even be joining in with the group that sits together for lunch at work.

Here’s what I want you to know:

When you meet and connect with a small group of like-minded women who are all grappling with similar challenges, it can help with inspiration, motivation, and accountability AND increase your ability to make the changes you truly desire.

Every time I run a group, women have said how much they appreciate the support, kindness, and encouragement they have received from group members. They also come away feeling inspired to make changes and looking forward to sharing how they’ve gone each week.

Our groups are confidential, and we all agree to respect each other’s privacy from the outset so no one will feel forced to share if they don’t want to and whatever you do share will remain in the strictest of confidence.

Upon enrolling, you will immediately receive an email with your login details.

Click on the link and you will be taken into the Food and Body Freedom Members’ Area, where you will find a welcome video plus some tasks, a meditation and journaling exercises to begin with straight away.

Good question. ☺

With over 28 years of clinical experience, I have created Food and Body Freedom which is an evidence-based approach. It includes the most helpful strategies and methods I’ve used with 1000s of clients to help them transform their relationship with food, eating, weight and body image.

It makes perfect sense that you’ve felt overwhelmed. There is so much conflicting and confusing information out there and it’s only growing.

If you’re willing to be patient with yourself, do the work, be proactive and take small steps, you will learn how to transform your relationship with your food, body and weight.

Food and Body Freedom is not a diet or weight loss program. Conventional diets and weight loss programs have a high failure rate and can be extremely harmful in the long run, both physically and psychologically.

What I’ve found (and the research backs me up), is that when you stop making it about the weight, and instead focus on healing your relationship with food and your body, then if you have excess weight that you don’t need, the body is often happy to let it go.

Many women with whom I’ve worked over the past 25 + years have found that they do lose weight as they make slow sustainable changes.

More importantly as people start to identify what’s truly important and meaningful to them, change their mindsets, manage their emotions, and transform their relationship with food…they report higher levels of contentment and overall wellbeing.

Our focus is therefore on ditching the diet mentality, changing your mindset, learning how to emotionally self-soothe, cultivating workable, healthy habits and treating your body with appreciation and respect, so you give her what she needs to function well.

Food and Body Freedom is an educational program designed to help women transform their relationship with food and their bodies.

It is not a replacement for individual therapy for an eating disorder. However, if you’ve had treatment for an eating disorder in the past or you’re in a stable, recovered space, then Food and Body Freedom will provide you with additional helpful support.

If you can, try to attend as many live group sessions as you can.

Set aside some time each day, each week to go through the online material. It’s been designed for you to engage in it easily – slow digestible chunks ☺.

Remember: Our focus is on making small changes that add up over time.
