BUILD BODY-CONFIDENCE FROM THE INSIDE-OUT, BY REGULATING YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM, NOURISHING YOUR BODY AND MOVING FOR HEALTH.
Does your body feel like an obstacle to overcome before you can pursue your dreams in life?!
Perhaps it feels like you’re always trying to change how you look, and no matter what you do, the feeling remains.
The body is a difficult thing to embrace, especially when everywhere we look we are presented with ‘perfect’ women, and lead to believe that this is some kind of lasting solution to feeling better within ourselves.
I have been there and I’ve supported 100’s of women who have experienced the same.
WHAT I AM SAYING IS, I SEE YOU!
And I know how you feel.
You might find it comforting to know that this is a deeply-rooted issue and over 73% of women feel this pressure to change the way they look. According to a nation-wide survey by the Butterfly Foundation;
- Over 40% compare themselves to others on social media, and are unhappy with their appearance
- 1 in 2 say their body look and shape is ‘pretty important’ compared to other things in life, and,
- 50% avoid doing things they enjoy, because of the way they look.
WE TEND TO GET STUCK ON….
- Starting diets and stopping again
- Envying women on social media
- Feeling triggered when we see thinner women ‘doing better’
- Trying to shrink ourselves
- Exercising to the point of exhaustion
- Crying when we look in the mirror
- Chasing weight loss until we feel completely defeated
And just generally feeling like because we don’t look good, there is no point in trying to achieve anything.
When we are worrying about how we look, we really often miss out on the magic life has to offer.
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU that you didn’t need to change your body, in order to feel better about yourself? And that;
- Nourishing yourself will bring you closer to body confidence than dieting will
- Training for strength is the best tool for body confidence
- You can completely change the way you look at your body with a few simple perception shifts?
- And, shrinking yourself will not actually make you feel better about yourself on the inside
THIS IS WHY I CREATED BEYOND THE BODY! I WANT YOU TO IDENTIFY THE TRUE CAUSE OF NEGATIVE BODY IMAGE, AND GIVE YOU THE TOOLS TO OVERCOME IT FOR GOOD.
I WANT TO BUILD YOU UP FROM THE INSIDE.

ABOUT ME
I have been a women’s health and fitness coach for over 20 years, gathering more wisdom with every year that passes by. I have worked with women in Australia and overseas, including both sports competitors, and everyday women.
After focussing purely on nutrition and training, and specifically body transformation, I recognised the limitations that changing your body can have on your long term health and confidence. The tools collected along the way are beneficial but body change is not the solution.
So after years of weight loss and strength training programs, I began supporting women on the underlying cause of their discomfort, eventually landing on:
- Childhood adversity as a driver for negative body image
- The role of media in ‘programming’ us to feel inadequate,
- Creating safety in the body through nourishment, strength and stress reduction (achieved through nervous system regulation), and
- Removing the idea that a perfect body will make our lives brighter.
Building body confidence has become less of a body change (although this is also supported when desired), but moreseo and inside-out approach aimed and deprogramming diet culture messaging, supporting women in finding safety, and changing perspectives around nutrition and exercise from one focussed on weight loss, to one focussed on building ourselves up, and taking up space.
I encourage all women to stop trying to shrink themselves, and start taking up space. Women are needed in this world and we are letting our perception of our bodies stand in the way!
