Are you struggling with knowing what to eat?

Do you feel guilt and shame around eating and your body?

Are your thoughts preoccupied with food, your body and health?


Then join the 5 day Food and Body Relationship challenge.


The challenge walks you through 5 key concepts that appear in the ‘How to Build a Positive Food Relationship’ e-book:

1. Normal Eating
2. Language
3. What Wonderful Things Your Body Can Do?
4. Mindfulness
5. Thoughts and Feelings

After the challenge is complete, you will have learned how to:

1/ Increase your awareness of your eating behaviours.

The benefits of increasing your eating behaviours awareness relates to identifying food shaming and disordered eating practises, and being able to move forward and find joy in eating and improve your relationship with food.

2/ Understand what eating normally looks like.

With this knowledge, you will be able to work towards eating normally.

3/ Bring awareness to body image and body shaming behaviours.

You will identify how body positive you are. From here you will be able to move forward and improve your relationship with your body.

4/ Develop an action plan to work on your eating and body issues.

You will work on reconnecting with your internal body cues (i.e. appetite) so you never diet again!

The benefits of all the above is increased health!!

The transformations from past clients have been amazing. These participants gained awareness around what they were eating, when they were were eating and started to see the joy in eating. They stopped feeling guilty about food and eating and gained a more positive outlook on their body and nutrition, with a greater focus on 'normal eating'. They viewed food differently. They started eating foods that they previously avoided for fear that that if was fattening.

The Results of Past Participants:

Nuzra said, "My husband is extremely impressed. He's been trying to get though to me for years and didn't know how. And the challenge did, it hit the nail on the head. Thank you!!"

Julie Skarstrom said, "I enjoyed the tasks each day and the mind change that I have experienced. I have regained my love of carrot juice in the morning and have bought new vegies to experiment to blend with. I am looking at food differently and instead of saying I can't eat that because it will put on weight I am enjoying it, for example....I really love the little tins of tuna with chilli, but they are in a little oil rather than brine or spring water. I would always stay clear of them because I worried that the oil would put on weight for me, but this week I enjoyed one of these little tins with a really great salad I made each night. I was thoroughly enjoying my lunch each day. I was also really surprised about the amount of fluid I was able to drink as well and not feel bloated at all. I did not weigh myself until this morning, purely out of curiousity because I felt lighter, and found that although I have eaten much much more than I would normally, I have lost at least 1kg. I am beginning to understand that you don't have to "diet" to loose weight.....your body will find it's own natural weight by eating intuitively."

Jenna Primmer said, "Thank you! I’ve decided to start the challenge over again this week! The challenge helped me to be proactive in improving my relationship with food and my body!! I hope to slowly day by day work on my mindfulness and knowledge in all things food/mind/body and health. The challenge motivated and inspired me to understand the importance of mindfulness!! My goal is for one day it to become habit and not a challenge to mindfully eat and because of the challenge and associated support, knowledge & guidance I believe it is possible!"

Belinda T said, "I found some real value in this and think a lot of other people would too. The content gave a good overall picture of what needs to be considered or achieved, whilst leaving me with a few things to work on or think about. The challenge left me feeling positive that there is a way to achieve balance in eating without making it a daily concern.Thank you!"

Tammy Angel said, "Thank you. I found the challenge really quite fascinating and made me ease up on myself and stop being so hard. I actually looked forward to the tasks each day and I might review the challenge again for revision."

Franca Belotti said, "I found the Food and Body Relationship Challenge helpful. I look at food differently and eat in moderation and know when to stop. I don't think food is our enemy, I think we are our own enemies!"

There are 2 Food and Body Relationship Challenge packages to choose from:

The Basic Package - $25 - For the cost of a cup of coffee a day, The Basic Package allows you to work on the challenge independently.

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
What can I expect after completing this course?
You may feel annoyed at the way society has made us believe weight loss is the solution, yet on the other hand, feeling relieved and empowered to embrace an up-to-date evidenced-based scientific approach that works! You may feel resistance from your family and friends, which is usually because they do not understand the non-diet approach, and their reactions are more out of fear of the unfamiliar. Like anything, it takes practise, and the concepts presented within the e-course will become easier and eventually a habit. Your life will change for the better.
How much time will it take to complete the course?
This depends on you and where you are at in your non-dieting journey, that is, your previous experiences and current circumstances. How motivated are you at changing your behaviour? Where are you in the cycle of change (i.e. pre-contemplative, contemplative, action, maintenance, habit, relapse)? I recommend spending about 1 to 2 weeks on each concept discussed in the e-course, which will give you the opportunity to reflect and bring awareness to your situation and practise and experiment with the exercises and ask the questions.. Changing your mindset around food and nutrition can take up to 3 to 6 months from my experience and this of course depends on your personal situation.You may take anywhere from a few days to 6 months more. It depends also on how much time you allocate to working through the modules. There is no hurry. Going through the course slowly and consistently will be more effective than doing it quickly or sporadically. Remember you have lifetime access to this course, so if you need to revise you can. Non-dieting is something that needs to be maintained, not something you learn and forget about. This is when the true transformation occurs.
Is the non-diet approach for me?
Yes certainly! The non-diet approach is for everyone. Please note that if you have certain chronic medical conditions, you may also need one-on-one support to ensure that your health is being managed in the most appropriate manner. If you are experiencing any challenges to changing and with regards to fully aligning with the non-diet philosophy, this e-course will support you in leaving the dieting world behind and reconnecting with your internal body cues so you can eat when you are hungry, stop when you are full and eat the food your body needs nutritionally and for pleasure.
Will I have a desire to lose weight after reading the book?
After reading the e-book, you will understand that weight alone does not impact your health. You may still have a desire to lose weight as this mindset takes time and the right support to change. Societal pressures are not going away quickly (it is changing though!), so you will likely still feel the misinformation and expectations, which continue to be challenges we are faced with prioritising our health. From this e-book, you will understand from your past experiences that weight cannot be controlled in the long term. You will understand the best way forward is to work on your behaviours around eating and your lifestyle, which feels so good and has such a positive impact on your health. Just know that the non-diet approach is not anti-weight loss, but the pursuit of weight loss or actively trying to lose weight. We know self compassion is much more important than weight loss.
Will I lose weight?
Having reconnected with your appetite, you may find yourself eating less food in response to listening to what your body wants, and your weight may decrease. You may even find yourself eating more food in response to previously restricting yourself, and your weight may go up and then settle at your natural weight, which could be higher or lower than before. Weight cannot be controlled in the long term, so it is hard to predict what yours will do because of your genetics and your previous dieting history, which upsets your body set point. The point is that you can become healthy at any weight. You are not defined by your weight and you should not think or feel a certain way because of what the scales show. Because this question is such a common one, I definitely do not want to discount it and not address your thoughts and feelings around weight.
