Fitness culture still teaches us to measure success by the number on the scale.
But here’s the truth: weight is NOT a stand-in for health—and promoting it as such is outdated, unethical, and harmful.

Most trainer certifications still treat weight as the gold standard of progress.
But real, sustainable health? It looks different on every body.

If you’re ready to do better—for your clients, your community, and yourself—this certification is your next step.

Why do we do the hard thing?
Why do we face our deepest fear?
Why do we do the scary/impossible thing? Over and over...?

So that the next generation doesn't have to carry our burden.
So the next generation doesn't see and feel the way we did.
So we can parent differently. Show up differently. So we can be what we needed as littles.

We break the cycle so they don't have to.

Recovery is ALWAYS worth it. Even if you can't see it yet.

On the eve of your birthday, here's our favourite shared story.

Once upon a time there was a small girl
no bigger than an apple seed
And she lived in a big fishbowl full of water
Where she could splish and splash, and twirl and whirl, and float and dive
and kick her legs
She LOVED her fishbowl.

Every day, that little girl grew just a little bit.
Then a little bit more, and a little bit more,
And she got bigger, and bigger, and BIGGER
Until she was squished in her fishbowl.
And she couldn't splish and splash, and twirl and whirl, and float and dive
and kick her legs anymore...

There was no more space.

One day, that little girl saw a big red button that said:
"DO NOT PUSH"
But THIS little girl....
BEEP!!
She pushed the big red button, and...
WHOOSH
All the water left her fishbowl.
Then she heard a voice say
"It's time to come out now".

And when she arrived, she said
"ROAR!"
And all the doctors said "WHOA!
Look at that girl!
She's so brave; she's so fierce; she's so strong;
And she's so loved!"
And then daddy came to get us so you could meet Mr. Cat.
We dressed you in a little yellow outfit, covered in bumblebees,
And put a tiny little hat on your head.
Then we came home, and ate lasagne.

And it was the best day of my life!
Because that's the day we got you. ❤️

Eating disorders can often feel like the third wheel in relationships, silently standing between us and true connection.

They create distance, making it harder to be present with loved ones or share authentic moments. The constant battle with food, body image, and self-worth diverts our focus away from those around us, leaving us isolated in our struggles.

But true connection comes when we let go of these barriers, and choose vulnerability over perfection. It's okay to ask for help and prioritize healing – because we deserve relationships that nourish us, not ones that leave us feeling empty.❤️

Heal the ED, and you'll be amazed at what else starts to feel different in your life.

It is understandable that even the idea of change can be overwhelming; there are many unknowns when we decide to change.
Fear, ambivalence, resistance and motivation can all play a big part is whether or not we feel ready for change, and this is common among ALL people.
The challenge is that if we wait until we feel ready for change, we probably will never start, and ironically, when we start to create change, even seemingly small and insignificant, that can act as the catalyst to be motivated to change further.
From my own experience, when I was running into invisible barriers around change, it was often due to me expecting to change everything at once (so overwhelming), while simultaneously expecting myself to be perfect at my new behaviours (unrealistic).
These two expectations have the ability to really hinder starting something new - when I broke things down into small, manageable goals, and gave myself permission to LEARN, no matter how awkward it felt or looked, I tended to have much more success.
If we break down everything you would like to change, perhaps you might be more open to trying something new, just to see what that is like.

Did you know you don't have to be underweight to be under eating?

Many women chronically under eat, and as a result, their metabolism slows down to adapt to this.

You can also struggle with bingeing, and be undernourished.

Many women who struggle with bingeing/emotional eating actively undereat during the day.

Maybe you can relate?

Have you ever thought to yourself:
"why can't I budge the scale?"
"I'm so careful about what/how much I eat, and I still seem to stay the same weight?"
"Each time I go back on a diet, I have to be more strict, exercise more/eat even less?"

If you answered yes to any of these, you have, and might still be, chronically undernourished.

The answer is not a stricter diet, or a more intense workout regimen.

Let's heal together 💗 gradually improve both your physical and mental relationship with food, so it is not stealing so much of your time and energy every day. You were put in this earth to do SO MUCH MORE than calorie calculations every moment of every day xx

In healing with don’t become normal, we become extraordinary.

Disordered eating is about so much more than our relationship with food. If left unchecked, it has the ability to rob us of a healthy relationship with food, self-esteem, resiliency, interpersonal relationships, personal and professional development, and more.

Recovery is about learning to thrive in life; repairing our relationship with food, accepting ourselves, and creating a life that is purposeful. This journey will empower you to feel confident in yourself, learn new techniques to mange difficult thoughts and feelings in ways that don't create harm.
