Body Image Healing Begins Here

Fundamentals of Body Image Healing is an 8-week, small-group coaching and support program for folks who want to turn down the volume on negative body talk and build a more peaceful, compassionate relationship with their bodies — without needing to change their body to do so. Each week includes guided education, reflection, and a virtual group session to help you connect, learn, and grow in community.

While both are supportive and healing, this group is not a therapy group. It’s educational, reflective, and community-oriented, focused on learning skills and tools for body image healing. If you need individual therapeutic support, this program can complement that work beautifully — but it’s not a substitute for therapy.

If you know that diets don’t work, are tired putting your life on hold until you achieve some perceived body ideal or weight goal, and desire a life that’s not so consumed by body shame, you will find you are in good company in this group.

Fundamentals of Body Image Healing is designed for women (including trans women) and non-binary folks, who feel comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of people navigating food and body challenges shaped by historically female, societal body ideals.

You’re not alone. Many participants come to this group with years of chasing a smaller version of themselves. They know that diets don’t work and they have reached diet burnout. But, accepting the body that they are in feels out of reach, too. So, while this group doesn’t endorse or encourage the active pursuit of intentional weight loss, it does hold space for the grief that arises from the realization that our body may never be exactly what we want it to be. And, it can help you live your fullest life, free from food rules, despite also holding a desire for a smaller body.

Having a totally healed relationship to food is not a pre-requisite for this group.

That said, this group may not be the right fit if you’re currently engaging in significant restriction, purging, frequent binge eating, or other eating disorder behaviors. In this case, more individualized treatment would be more supportive.

But, if you’ve already done some recovery work and your behaviors are minimal, even though you might still be working through challenging food rules and food guilt, this could be a great next step. If you’re not sure where you fall, please reach out — we’re happy to help you figure it out!

This isn’t a “learn to love your body in 8 weeks” promise — that’s not realistic for most people. Instead, you can expect to walk away with a deeper understanding of where body image struggles come from, tools to navigate difficult body days with more self-compassion, and a clearer path toward living more fully and authentically in your here-and-now body.

Plan to spend about 3-4 hours per week program related content. This includes the 75-minute live session, plus additional time for the educational module, and reflection exercises.

Weekly, virtual group sessions are dependent on active participation by group members. So, please consider if you will have time to commit to the weekly modules before registering.

No, sessions are not recorded. To foster safety and openness in the group, we maintain confidentiality by keeping discussions live only. Participants are asked to commit to attending at least 7 of the 8 sessions to help maintain the integrity of the group experience.
