Imagine sitting with a client who opens up about their body image and knowing exactly how to support them.
Body image comes up all the time, yet most practitioners have had zero training in how to talk about it. Instead of fumbling for the right words, Googling later or wondering how on earth you can help, you can turn theory into practice.
Become the competent coach your clients are crying out for.
Here's what's actually going on.
Your clients' body image struggles aren't a mindset problem that positive affirmations will fix.
They're not about self-discipline, generic plans or just needing to love themselves more.
What we're talking about is based in neuroscience and psychology.
Years of conditioning.
Diet culture and family influence.
Nervous system responses that have nothing to do with willpower.
Which means the "just be kinder to yourself" approach isn't going to cut it.
Understanding the actual science behind body image AND knowing how to talk about it makes you genuinely, measurably more effective with your clients.
Beyond The Textbook:
Take Body Image From Theory to Practice
Built on neuroscience, behavioural psychology, body image research and real clinical experience.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
Understand the science behind body image, AND be able to explain it to your clients in plain language
Know how to hold difficult body image conversations without freezing, overstepping, or shutting down
Recognise the signs of disordered patterns in your clients' behaviour, AND know what to do about it
Have a clear, confident understanding of your scope of practice, so you can do meaningful work whilst protecting your clients (and yourself)
Walk away with practical, evidence-based tools you can use in your very next session
Have done the work on your own body image, because you can't hold this for others if you haven't looked at your own stuff

Your Teacher
Why I'm the best person for the job.
I take a multidisciplinary approach. Nutritionist + REBT, ACT, MI + counselling + somatic awareness + body image research. Most courses and teachers focus on one thing. I bring behavioural psychology, the neuroscience of eating, and the therapeutic lens.
I explain complex ideas without dumbing them down. As a former teacher, I’ve had plenty of experience explaining complex topics in a way that's accessible without being patronising. I know you’ve got a good head on your shoulders and are eager to learn.
I understand scope of practice from the inside. As a trainee counsellor, I live in the boundary between coaching and therapy every day. I’ve worked with hundreds of people, and have run a successful coaching practice for 5 years.
This course is for you if:
You're a health, wellness or lifestyle coach who regularly encounters body image issues with clients.
You want to go deeper than "just love your body" but you're not sure how.
You finish your client sessions thinking "I really hope I handled that ok" but feel like you could have done better.
You know you have the knowledge and the care, but you're not sure how to APPLY it.
