Compassion Centred
Weight Loss : Personal Coaching

What is Compassion Centred Weight Loss Coaching? 

Compassion Centred Weight Loss coaching uses our harm reduction framework to support you to work towards your weight loss goals gently and safely, without obsessing over eating, shape and weight or letting dieting have a negative impact on your life. We offer our compassion centred weight loss coaching in both group and 1:1 formats, whichever feels right for you. Our members have access to this as a self paced course format too. If you want to explore membership please click here. 

​

We know too well there can be negative consequences of dieting and weight loss attempts; we also understand  the natural desire to live in a body that we enjoy and feel comfortable in; we all deserve that, which is why we use a compassionate centred, harm reduction model in our weight loss coaching. 

 

Harm reduction means that we take a gentle approach to food and nutrition and support a positive relationship with food, eating and body image. We do not place moral value on foods and believe shame has no place on a weight loss journey. We structure our framework as a three part therapeutic model, firstly creating safety and stability, secondly exploring the deeper work and finally integrating or reconnecting to the world around us with our new framework. 

 

Ultimately, we respect that everyone has the right to body autonomy and to make their own choices about their bodies; if weight loss is a goal for you we want to ensure this is an informed choice and to support you to do this safely and in a way that feels gentle and nurturing. 

​

How does Compassion Centred Coaching work? 

Compassion Centred Weight Loss has been designed by Rachel after working with hundreds of individuals that desired to make changes to improve and safeguard their health,  feel confident in their appearance and increase confidence and enjoyment in their body, whilst still experiencing food freedom. 

​

Cory our Nutritionist and Gentle Nutrition Coach, leads our Compassion Centred Group Coaching.

 

Each week for 14 weeks you meet with Cory for a personal  Compassion Centred Coaching session lasting upto 45 minutes, to support you to understand and apply what you have learnt during your weekly modules, overcome obstacles and work together to set realistic goals. 

​

In between sessions you get access to our Compassion Centred Weight Loss framework broken down into easy to absorb bite sized steps; and resources which we have share in greater detail below. These modules are available in written or audio format. You can check in with Cory in your weekly session prior to the session so she understands how you are feeling and what you are struggling with. 

 

We want to teach you how to nourish yourself, rather than simply tell you what to eat; so we offer you evidence based knowledge and step by step ways to apply this to your everyday life. We use a gentle add in approach so every week offer goals and guidance to support your journey.

​

We also provide you with E-books, example meal plans, example movement plans, recipe books, habit tracker worksheets and self care guides.
