Food Freedom Coaching
Food Freedom Coaching is our signature programme to support you end food and body obsession. It was developed after supporting 1000s of individuals experiencing distressing eating behaviours and body image concerns. We meet with you every week for 50 minutes via video or audio call to gently guide you through our integrative framework and give you the space to discuss and share your experiences, answer any questions you may have and set some gentle goals to work towards.
Food Freedom Coaching is for anyone who is experiencing eating behaviours and body image thoughts that are causing distress; this may include binge eating and emotional eating, rigid rules around food and exercise, experiencing yo-yo dieting, finding food and body image stressful, experiencing hypothalamic amenorrhea, preoccupied with food or finding eating or body image impacting life negatively.
