Is it Food Noise?

Do you spend a surprising amount of time thinking about food?

What you should eat. What you shouldn't. What you're craving. When you can eat next. Whether you've eaten too much or too little.

Perhaps you notice what everyone else is eating, or feel completely thrown when a meal doesn't go to plan.

And maybe you've lived with these thoughts for so long that you assume they're just a normal part of life.

I know that feeling. For a long time, I didn't realise just how much space food noise was taking up in my own head, or how much energy it was stealing from the rest of my life.

**Just because something feels normal doesn't mean it has to stay that way.**

In my new blog, I explore what food noise can look like, where it might come from, and how you can begin to quiet the constant chatter and make more room for living.

And if you're ready for some personal support, I've created my **Food Noise Strategy Package**:
two private 45-minute coaching sessions to help you understand your food noise and find practical ways forward tailored to your unique life and experiences.

To celebrate the launch, the package is available for **US$150 for a limited time**, before the price increases to US$195.

Do thoughts about food take up too much space in your mind? Explore what causes food noise, how it connects to body image, and how to find more freedom.

I'm hosting a FREE online Body Peace Retreat this Sunday 18. October (NZDT) and you are invited ❤️

Body image is something I've struggled with personally for years and I know how much energy it can take up in our lives.

It's not just about how we look at ourselves in the mirror. It can influence whether we feel comfortable being seen, how we eat, how we socialise, and how much freedom we feel we have.

And sometimes, we don't even realise just how much space it's taking up until we stop and look at the bigger picture.

That's what this retreat is about. Taking a couple of hours to reflect, step away from all the noise, and explore what life could look like if our bodies didn't occupy quite so much of our thoughts.

It's a space to pause, gain a new perspective and imagine what's possible.

If you'd like to join me, I'd love to welcome you.

It's finally here 🤍

Dear Body: I Want to Be Friends
is my new 6-month personalised body image coaching programme.

I have been working on this programme for the past 12 months and have poured so much of myself into it: my coaching experience, my own lived experience and everything I've learned from working with women around body image.

And it has turned into something I genuinely believe can change the way women experience their bodies and their lives.

It's for the woman who is exhausted by how much space her body, food and appearance take up in her mind.

The woman who's tried to change her body, change her thoughts, be more positive, exercise differently, micromanage her food...

…and still doesn't feel at peace.

This isn't about learning to love your body overnight.

It's about creating freedom.

Freedom from the constant mental noise.
Freedom from the endless cycle of trying to fix yourself.
Freedom to stop comparing, start being, and trust that who you are is enough.

I've created this as a deeply supported six-month journey with 1:1 coaching, my Body Peace Method, a comprehensive workbook, ongoing WhatsApp support and resources to help you actually integrate the work into your everyday life.

And to be honest (even though it is cringe): I am so bloody proud of it.

If you've been following my work and this speaks to something you're experiencing, I'd love you to have a look.

Oh my goodness (no pun intended) I have something awesome to share today:

My article **“How the Wellness Industry Unintentionally Reinforces Body Anxiety”** just got published by **GOOD MAGAZINE.** 🥹

And I’m honestly a little bit blown away to say that it is currently sitting **front and centre on the GOOD Magazine homepage.** 😭

The article explores something I think we don't talk about nearly enough:

**Are we actually pursuing health — or are we pursuing acceptance?**

Because what happens when we've been taught that health has a certain appearance?

When changing our bodies is presented to us as “health”, but underneath it is the chase to fulfil that same old desire to feel worthy, accepted, confident or like we finally belong?

This is a conversation I’m really passionate about, and having the opportunity to share it with the world literally means the world to me. ❤️

If this is something you've ever wrestled with, I'd love for you to read it and let me know your thoughts and perspective.
