we’re taking bookings for 2025
Before I started my business, I thought that I was going to use my degree to work with clients 1:1 to help them rebuild their relationship with food. After my first presentation to a group of year 9s in 2019, I knew that more people needed to hear the message. Fast forward four years and we have helped thousands (!!) of young people to build a joyful relationship with foods and their body.
The presentation and workshops have evolved a lot since we first started, and every year we build on what we have to make the presentations even better and more aligned to what the students want to learn!
Here are some things that our young people took away from our sessions this year:
“Knowing that there are many people who struggle with nutrition and mental health” - Year 7/8
“Angelica was probably the only guest speaker that felt 'real' to me. Hearing her experience was touching” - Year 7/8
“I learnt that that you don’t need to stop eating foods, it is just important what you incorporate and add into your diet.” - Year 10
“I learnt to ask for help at times of need.” - Year 10
“I liked learning about the bugs in the gut and how you have to feed them a lot of different foods to keep them thriving” - Year 10
“I really enjoyed hearing from a nutritionist that things are normal and no one has the right to judge because they aren't in your body - Year 9/10
“I have learned that we should not compare our body images with our friends nor to any other people” - Year 9/10
“I really enjoyed the information on nutrition as I struggle to find things to put in my lunches and what to have for breakfast” - Year 9/10
“That struggling with your body image is a common issue that many people face and that there are ways to deal with it” - Year 9/10
