Diet culture is sneaky. It often slips into our sessions through habits we learned in training or language we have absorbed in health settings. Most of the time, we do not even realise it is happening. 💭🍽️

The challenge is that even small moments can send powerful messages to clients. A comment that feels encouraging to us can feel like pressure to them. A focus on compliance can feel like a judgment on their worth. A gentle nudge toward certain food choices can unintentionally reinforce the rules they are working so hard to loosen. 😔

When clients are rebuilding trust with food and their bodies, these subtle cues matter. They can shift engagement, deepen shame or push a client back into performing a “good patient” version of recovery. 💛

Becoming aware of these patterns helps us create sessions that centre safety, regulation and genuine autonomy. This is the heart of weight-inclusive, evidence-informed work and a key part of the RAVES approach. 🌱✨

If this is something your workplace needs more awareness around, share this post with your team and start the conversation.

And if you want deeper, hands-on training in non-diet, harm-reduction and regulation-first practice, the RAVES Workshop Series will support you with practical tools you can use straight away.

Happy New Year to all the clinicians, helpers and healers who show up every day with compassion and curiosity! ✨💛

This work is meaningful and heavy and beautiful, often all at once.

As we step into a new year, I hope you find moments of rest, clarity and confidence in the way you support your clients. Small, steady interventions and grounded attunement matter more than you realise. 🌱

Thank you for creating spaces where clients feel safer, seen and respected. Your presence changes the way people experience food, their bodies and themselves.

Wishing you a gentle start to the year ahead. Cheers to the work we will continue to do together. 🎉

If you work with clients who fear weight gain, you already know this moment.

You suggest a small shift in eating, and their whole body tightens. The fear is immediate. Their eyes drop. Their voice gets quiet. You can feel the panic in the room. 💛

This fear is not irrational. It comes from years of stigma, dismissal and real harm in a world that treats bodies differently.

When we understand that, the work becomes less about pushing behaviour change and more about creating refuge.

Clients do not need us to convince them that weight gain is safe. They need us to show them that they are safe with us. Attunement, gentleness and predictable care help their nervous system settle so they can explore the fear rather than fight it. 🌱

When fear and behaviour are separated, clients often take steps they never thought possible. Not because the fear is gone, but because they trust that you will not abandon them if it shows up.

If you want practical scripts, safety-building strategies and clinical tools to support these moments, the RAVES Workshop Series 2026 go deep into this work. Early bird is open now.

Wishing you a gentle and nourishing holiday season. 🎄✨

For many clients, this time of year stirs up big feelings around food, family and expectations. Your presence, your attunement and the safety you offer make a meaningful difference every single day. Thank you for showing up with compassion in a world that often makes eating and body concerns even harder.

I hope the weeks ahead give you moments of rest, connection and space to breathe.

Here’s to a season that welcomes softness and reminds us that being human is more than enough. 💛

Have a merry Christmas! 🌲

Supporting clients in larger bodies isn’t just about nutrition knowledge, it’s about understanding the weight of their lived experiences before they ever sit down with us.

Many arrive in our rooms carrying years of fear, shame and dismissal from previous healthcare encounters. That history shapes how safe they feel with us long before any nutrition or therapeutic work begins. 💛

As clinicians, we play a powerful role in either rebuilding or reinforcing those experiences. Safety is not created by reassurance alone. It is created through consistently demonstrating that bodies are not moral categories and that care will never be conditional on weight, size or appearance. 🧡

When we slow down, listen carefully and stay curious rather than corrective, clients often show us more of their internal world. They begin to share the experiences they have never voiced, the symptoms they have minimised and the needs they have learned to downplay in order to protect themselves.

This is where meaningful work begins. When clients feel genuinely respected, their nervous system settles, trust deepens, and therapeutic momentum becomes possible. The RAVES model supports this process by providing structure, predictability and a framework that removes moral judgment from food and body decisions. 🌱

If you want more tools to support clients in larger bodies with care that is evidence-informed, respectful and safe, the Elevate Your Practice with the RAVES™ Eating Model workshops can help.

You deserve to feel confident supporting every body that walks through your door. 💛

As clinicians, it is easy to feel the pressure to move into deep work quickly. Emotions, values, body image concerns and big therapeutic themes often feel urgent.

But without stability, clients simply do not have the capacity to go there. 💭🍽️

Structure comes before flexibility. Regulation comes before insight. Predictability comes before depth.

When clients are still navigating food chaos, compensatory urges or inconsistent eating, the nervous system is focused on survival. In this state, deeper exploration is rarely helpful and can feel overwhelming or unsafe. ⚠️

👉 This is where the RAVES™ model becomes so valuable. It supports clients to build a steady foundation that allows clearer thinking, better distress tolerance and more meaningful engagement in therapeutic work. When eating becomes more consistent, you will often notice:

✨ Fewer urges
✨ More reflection
✨ Improved tolerance for discomfort
✨ Increased curiosity about deeper themes

You will also recognise when it is too early.

Sessions feel chaotic, food remains unpredictable and insight-focused conversations lead to more distress rather than progress.
Stability is not a step to rush. It is the groundwork that allows deeper, sustainable change to occur. 🌱

If you’d like more practical tools, scripts, and supervision-informed strategies to support clients in this phase of treatment, the Elevate Your Practice with the RAVES™ Eating Model workshops were designed for you.

Here it is! 🎉 The full lineup for the 2026 RAVES™ Workshop Series across Australia and New Zealand! 🙌

So many of you have been asking for the dates, venues and details, and now you can map out exactly where and when you’d like to join us. 🙌

This series was designed for practitioners who want more than just an overview of the model.

It’s for those who want to feel confident applying RAVES™ with clients, who want the nuance behind the five principles, and who want practical tools they can use immediately in real-world settings.

Whether you’re supporting eating disorders, disordered eating, weight-neutral care or general nutrition work, these workshops offer a space to deepen your skills, sharpen your clinical decision-making, and reconnect with the heart of compassionate, person-centred practice.

Everything you need to plan ahead — prices, venues, dates, capacities — is inside this post.

Early Bird runs until 19 January 2026, and each workshop is capped at 30 seats to keep the learning hands-on, collaborative and clinically rich.

Would genuinely love to see you at one of the 2026 workshops.

One of my favourite parts of running the RAVES™ workshops is hearing how the model lands in real clinical practice. 🙌

Every time a practitioner or student shares that RAVES™ helped them feel more confident… gave them language they were missing… or finally made nutrition counselling “click” — it’s a reminder of why this work matters so much.

These aren’t just kind words.

They reflect what happens when clinicians finally get a framework that is simple, compassionate, and clinically practical. Something they can use straight away with the people they support.

If you’ve ever wondered whether RAVES™ could make a difference in your own practice, here’s your sign. These reviews represent a variety of practitioners and workplace settings around the globe, and highlight the versatility of the model.

And you can learn the model directly from its creator in 2026.

Early Bird closes 19 January.

Workshops are capped at 30 seats to keep the learning hands-on and clinically rich.

If you’ve been wanting to move beyond the surface-level use of RAVES™ and actually understand how to apply it confidently with real clients, this is your chance.

So many practitioners tell me they “use RAVES™,” but haven’t had the opportunity to explore the depth, nuance and clinical decision-making that make the model so transformative in practice.

This workshop was created to change that … because RAVES™ is about more than the five principles, it’s about the application of these principles and how they relate to the person we are working with.

Across two full days in this foundational training, together we’ll break down the five principles, unpack complex cases, integrate counselling strategies, and look at how RAVES™ fits into eating disorders, disordered eating, weight concerns, body image, and non-diet care.

It’s practical, hands-on, and built for clinicians who want to feel more grounded and confident in the way they support their clients.
If you’re ready to deepen your skills and feel clearer in your approach, this is the most comprehensive way to do it.

Early bird is open until 22 December 2025, but seats are capped at 30 participants per location — once they’re gone, they’re gone.

I’d love to have you there! ♥️

Have you ever sat with a client and thought…

“I know they need more support… but I’m not sure how to get them there without falling back on meal plans, rules or nutrition lectures,”
👉 you’re not alone.

So many clinicians tell me they were taught nutrition, but not how to navigate the real-world complexity of eating behaviour, body image, food fear, shame or the long tail of diet culture.

That’s exactly why the RAVES™ Eating Model was created and why I’m bringing back the 2026 in-person workshops.

These two days go far beyond “understanding the model.”

You’ll learn how to use RAVES™ with confidence, apply it to diverse presentations, take home practical scripts and tools, and finally feel like you have a framework that truly supports people in a compassionate, sustainable way.

Think of it as the training most of us wish we had earlier in our careers.

A space where the theory suddenly clicks…

where confidence replaces second-guessing…

and where you walk away feeling clearer, grounded, and excited to support your clients again.

Ready to deepen your RAVES™ skills and elevate your clinical practice?
