SO excited to be offering this workshop with my colleague Amy Gardner. This two-hour workshop is for dietitians, coaches, and personal trainers who are working with clients struggling with compulsive exercise, exercise resistance, and exercise during eating disorder recovery.

You'll leave ready to have confident conversations with your clients about their relationship with movement and guide them through experiential practices to encourage embodiment and mindfulness. Leave your questions in the comments... hope to see you there!

Do you find it near impossible to un-mesh your relationship with exercise from diet culture? Are you simultaneously disconnected from what joyful, embodied movement feels like and confused about how to integrate exercise into your life in a way that feels aligned with your values and ability level?

Maybe this shows up like:
👉🏼You start a new "program" or "workout method" for a week and then lose interest or feel defeat because you can't "stick with it".�
👉🏼You avoid movement and exercise, but at the same time you are consumed with thoughts about starting a new fitness program and this leaves you feeling shame and guilt.�
👉🏼You want to integrate exercise into your life to improve your health but don’t know how to do this is a way that feels useful and sustainable. �
👉🏼You exercise compulsively and have difficulty taking a day off or trying more gentle forms of movement. �
👉🏼You feel like if movement is fun or easy it doesn't "count". �
👉🏼You feel like you don't deserve rest, or that you have to earn rest.

You’re not alone!

I coach my clients through these dilemmas everyday and now I’m integrating what I’ve learned (and experienced myself) into an accessible 6-week group coaching program.

We’ll meet via Zoom starting Tuesday April 13, 2021. All the deets are on my website: http://www.jessihaggerty.com/group if you want to learn more + sign up.

Body positivity changed my world. Why didn’t I do more to make sure it changed things for Black women, too?

I’m offering $100 off my Nutrition & Body Image Coaching Course for fitness pros!!!

Unfortunately, as personal trainers, we don’t receive any training when it comes to nutrition and body image coaching. We learn about anatomy and physiology, how to do a perfect squat, and how to keep our clients safe with exercise. But if your career path has been anything like mine, you quickly learn that you can't compartmentalize wellbeing. It goes without saying, it is important to honor our scope of practice, but having some basic nutrition and body image coaching skills to help supplement the amazing work we already do as fitness professionals can not only make our clients healthier and happier in the long run, it can establish us as responsible, ethical, and knowledgeable professionals who truly have our client's best interest at heart. That's exactly why I've created this course.

This course is designed to empower fitness professionals to provide balanced, sound and evidence-based nutrition recommendations, while also assessing for those who are at risk for, or actively struggling with an eating disorder. After completing this course, you will be able to confidently make basic nutrition recommendations, understand and execute appropriate weight inclusive and body positive language to use with clientele, be able to identify at-risk clients, and develop a script for referral to an eating disorder specialist if needed. You’ll also earn 1.9 NASM or 19 AFAA CEUs. .
This is a *completely* self-paced course so you can buy now and start whenever you want!

(Unlike "Intuitive Eating") there is no distinct framework or principles of "Intuitive Movement." So I wrote this blog earlier this year to break down the process of Intuitive Movement in a clearer way for anyone who may be confused by this concept! Check it out of you haven't already.

You might be wondering: what is Intuitive Movement? Well first, I’d like to say that I did not coin this term and I am certainly not the first to talk about it. But as a Personal Trainer and Intuitive Eating Counselor, it felt well, intuitive, to explore this concept and share my 10 Principles of ...

to my interview with Chrissy King! We talked about why “loving your body” is complicated by the culture we live in, how to hold space for the desire to lose weight without letting it control your fitness journey, and why it’s OK (er, necessary) for fitness professionals to talk about social justice.
