This is your absolute last chance to get in on the Summer Body Freedom group coaching program because we start TOMORROW! ✨

I’ve opened up one FINAL place for someone who is ready to make 2020 their year of BODY FREEDOM!

What if I told you that you don't need to change your body to feel good this summer?

You deserve to feel confident. It’s your birthright to feel comfortable in whatever you want to wear this summer. You are absolutely allowed to give up diet rules and food shame to create a more joyful life. I’m here to help you navigate this process and help you unlearn everything you have been taught about bodies.

It’s time to stop focusing on who you should be and start accepting the amazingness that you are! We all deserve to feel worthy in our bodies – regardless of our gender, size, shape, age, colour or abilities. Your worth is not defined by your weight or your appearance.

If you wanna rock that bikini, you do it! Because guess what? Every BODY can have a bikini body. And if you don’t want to wear a bikini, that’s cool too. You do you, boo! I’m here to support you regardless of what Summer Body Freedom goals are!

Head to the link in my bio to sign up ASAP or hit me up via DM and I’ll send you the deets 💖

☝️One place left and one final chance to join

☝️One place left and one final chance to join me this Monday (20th Jan) for 6 weeks of group coaching to #BodyFreedom

If you been umm-ing and ahh-ing about it and are NOT on my mailing list, send me a DM so I can wow you with a fabulous offer.

Our first week is all about Ditchin’ Diet Culture (one of the most popular and insightful modules!). But what is Diet Culture?

Diet culture doesn't just mean "being on a diet", it runs deeper than that - it's the way we talk about bodies, the way we think about bodies.

It's a belief that places value on being a certain weight, a certain size & a certain shape.

It promotes thinness as the epitome of health.

It tells you how you should eat & how you should exercise.

It makes you feel ashamed of your body & the food choices that you may make.

It says to you that in order to be beautiful, successful & worthy, you need to go on a diet & lose weight.

It's a gazillion dollar industry that profits from your insecurities.

Want to break free from the oppression of diet culture? Summer Body Freedom offers you the skills, the knowledge and confidence you need to rebel against it - and that’s just the first week! 😱

HEY YOU THERE 👋

Stop scrolling for a ‘mo and let’s get acquainted.

WHO AM I?

I’m Sarah, I use the pronouns she/her and I am a 30-something, eating disorder survivor, body image activist, writer and coach. I’m a feisty Leo 🦁, book worm (my 2020 goal is 100 books), I believe that the best things that exist on planet Earth are animals (except for snakes - I have a massive phobia) and potatoes. I get fired up easily (something I am trying to work on!) - I’m currently sitting on the couch, watching a movie and getting incredibly cranky at some rowdy hooligans playing doof doof across the road. My greatest love is my 9-year-old cat, Sim. He is the most purest, loving creature that has walked this earth (Sorry Cam 😝)
.
WHAT DO I DO?

I help womxn develop healthier relationships with their bodies so that they can feel confident, worthy and free from society’s beauty and body standards.

I work with clients looking to make peace with their body and find freedom. I use a non-diet approach in my work, and instead focus on reframing their mindset and beliefs about themselves and their bodies.

I truly believe that weight loss and dieting cannot cure negative body image and that the most effective way to heal your relationship with your body is by reprogramming your thought patterns.

I am fiercely passionate about the Health At Every Size (HAES) philosophy and incorporate this approach in all of my work.

Your turn - tell me about you! What lights you up? What gets you red hot? What’s your star sign? Who’s your celeb crush at the moment? 👇

✨ NEW BLOG POST ✨

It’s been awhile but I’ve finally wrote a bit of a personal blog post. This week I chat about the impact that negative feeling about my body had on me during summer and how I’ve been able to over come my ‘summer body anxiety’. Head to the link in my bio if you want to have a read 💜

I promise you that you don’t need to change your

I promise you that you don’t need to change your body to change the way you think and feel about it.

The negative beliefs we have about our bodies are made up of the things we are told, the things we have seen and the things we have been taught about what an ‘acceptable’ body is.

How many times have you dieted, lost some weight and yet you still don’t feel at peace with your body?

If you want to work towards body freedom in 2020, why not start your year off by joining my 6-week group coaching program. Places are still available and if you sign up before the 15th Jan, you’ll save $100 off the regular price. Send me a DM for more info and yes, payment plans are available 💛

You don’t have to love your body in order to car

You don’t have to love your body in order to care for it. You might not love the way your body looks, but you can still respect it. Maybe your body doesn’t function the way you’d like it to but you can still treat it with kindness.

I don’t love the way my body looks. And you don’t have to love the way your body looks either. I do love that my body, is my body. I am immensely grateful and appreciative of all the things she has done for me over the last 30 years, but she has changed.

My body has more curves, more rolls and more softness than it used to have. I’ve come to accept my body as it is but society hasn’t, and that’s why I don’t think I can love how my body looks.

For many people in larger bodies, simply ‘loving your body’ doesn’t fix the years of trauma, the stigma and fatphobia rampant in today’s society.

I can’t promise to coach you to body love when I don’t believe in it myself.

I believe in body freedom.

I will promise to hold a safe, supportive and inclusive space for you while you work towards healing your relationship with your body and begin to challenge the unrealistic beauty and body standards we’ve been taught to uphold.

Are you finding yourself tempted to start the new

Are you finding yourself tempted to start the new year with a new diet?

Do you truly believe that your life would be better if you were smaller or slim?

Do you need to some help navigating away from diet culture and focusing more on reframing your thoughts, feelings and beliefs about your body?

In my 6-week group coaching program ‘Summer Body Freedom’, the very first module we dive into is DITCHING DIET CULTURE.

I’ll help you explore the internal and external beliefs about what an ‘acceptable’ or ‘valued’ body is. We’ll uncover the flaws and misconceptions about health and change your mindset around health/weight loss.

In order to FREE yourself from dieting, it’s important that we explore how it shows up in your life, how it’s impacting you and how it’s making you feel shit about your body.

If you’re ready to break free from diet culture and become the next diet culture drop out, come join me - we start 20th Jan! Sign up before the 15th and save, join for just $349. Payment plans and assistance available - just reach out 💕 Link in bio for more details

My BESTEST tip for creating a more positive and he

My BESTEST tip for creating a more positive and healthy relationship with your body is dah, dah, dah... GRATITUDE!

I know gratitude has been a bit of buzz word over the last few years but it is such a BRILLIANT tool to add to your body image toolbox.

Practicing gratitude helps to shift our focus away from what our body looks like or how we want our body to look. And by focusing on the amazing things our body does for us, we can start connecting with our body in a more positive way!

My bonus body image tip for you today - create a daily gratitude practice and list at least THREE positive things that your body allows you to do each day.

Dear @khloekardashian and friends, For the love o

Dear @khloekardashian and friends,

For the love of Lizzo, please STOP partnering with @flattummyco and promoting this absolute trash.

It’s harmful, it’s dangerous and you’re using your massive influence to encourage your fans (many of them impressionable young people) to strive for a flat tummy. You are promoting an unhealthy lifestyle and encouraging eating disorder behaviours.

If this was available to me as a 16-year-old, I would have lapped this shit up because I truly believed that the only way I could be worthy would be to have a flat tummy. It makes me so mad and incredibly sad to think of all the girls who also believe that they need to shrink themselves in order to be loved and accepted.

I know you can do so much better and I know that you’ve struggled with your body and your weight - even the rich and famous aren’t immune to diet culture - but enough is enough. Use your influence, your power and your platform for good and start empowering women and girls to embrace their bodies instead making them enemies.

For anyone feeling tempted to work towards a flat tummy this year, you do not need to buy this. This is a company that reeks of diet culture and who only cares about profiting off our insecurities. It’s a god damn laxative and it will probably cause you to shit yourself. You do not need a flat tummy, you are already enough 💕
