Disordered Eating Coaching Academy
The online course that teaches you how to heal your clients’ relationship with food, step by step.
SOUNDS NICE. But…
❌ You already preach intuitive eating and it doesn’t seem to stop your clients from self-sabotaging 😩 You don’t see how this course is gonna fix that
❌ You’re overworked and don’t want to waste your time and money on some airy-fairy psychobabble that just doesn’t work with real clients in the real world 😣
❌ You love this idea but the fact is, a lot of your clients need to lose weight for their health. You don’t see how you can marry the two things together 🤨
Disordered Eating
Coaching Academy…
Isn’t just more professional development that gets added to your portfolio then forgotten about.
I created this course because the way we were trained just doesn’t work in 2026. Skinny is everywhere, the pressure to be ‘healthy’ is through the roof, and the majority of our nutrition clients are struggling with their relationship with food.
They don’t have eating disorders as such, but they do have disordered eating tendencies which are so normalized that half the time they don’t even realize it’s disordered… Heck, us health professionals don’t realize half the time, either! So the stock-standard nutrition advice we were all taught actually makes things worse, not better.
Disordered Eating Coaching Academy teaches you a proven system to heal your clients’ relationship with food. I use this system in clinic every single day and I’ve perfected it over 12 years in the field. It works.
Because healthy eating isn’t the goal. The goal is to have a healthy relationship with food. When you have that, everything else falls into place.
Disordered Eating Coaching Academy is perfect for you if you are…
A nutritionist or dietitian
Who is exhausted by every client wanting a weight loss meal plan. You know you need to tackle their dieting mindset but you’re frustrated when intuitive eating never seems to ‘stick’.
A health coach
Who is wondering how everyone else seems to know what they’re doing while you’re busy Googling and trying to fit bits and pieces of trainings together. You just want one evidence-based system that you can tweak for each client.
A therapist or mental health worker
Who is very confident in tackling some of the underlying issues you see, but you’re a bit uncomfortable with the nutrition side of things. You’re sick of referring your clients on only to see them waitlisted for months or, even worse, put on another diet!

What’s inside the course?
Module 1 – Awareness
- Learn what disordered eating actually is, how it’s different to an eating disorder, and recognize the red flags
- Confidently and succinctly explain to your clients how diet culture and the diet industry fuel the restrict-binge cycle and long-term weight gain
- Understand the role certain personality types and different ways of processing emotions play in disordered eating
Module 2 – Mindset Shifts
- Learn the essential coaching strategies to combat disordered eating
- Make sure you’re keeping yourself safe in your work
- Learn how to get your clients to ditch their focus on weight loss, and embrace health gain instead
Module 3 – Assessment
- Learn how to gather essential background information easily, so your session flows quickly
- Get all of my best tips and tricks on getting your clients to open up to you (no long questionnaires or food diaries required)
- Learn how to interpret information in a brilliantly simple way so you’re not overwhelmed or rushed
- Quickly identify if your client is at high risk and needs to be referred on
Module 4 – The Food Freedom Framework
- The nitty gritty how-to of my unique Food Freedom Framework
- Learn the #1 unsexy advice that is the foundation of solid nutrition and how to write a meal plan the right way, so your clients don’t end up relying on it (don’t worry, it’s simple!)
- Find out why your clients may undergo a period of increased hunger and what to do about it (this is where most coaches go wrong)
- Learn how to incorporate good nutrition in an easy-peasy way that keeps your clients out of a dieting mindset and all-or-nothing thinking
- Start challenging specific food fears and transitioning off a meal plan and into the real world (this bit is FUN)
Module 5 – Simple Psychological Advice
- Not everyone wants or can get psychological support. And even if they’ve got it, you still need a basic understanding because these topics will come up in your sessions!
- Get my go-to simple exercises that sit perfectly alongside the Food Freedom Framework for coping with the fear of weight gain, dealing with emotions without turning to food, building a better body image, and increasing self-worth
Module 6 – Putting It All Together
- Put it all together with an example of a full initial consult that shows how each step flows into the next and clients walk away with an action plan they can put in place immediately – even if you have short consult times! This is the one module that isn’t several short videos, this is just one 43 min video.
I was worried I didn’t know enough… Now I have a practical framework I can use to help my clients find food freedom after years of disordered eating. The self-paced videos were engaging, informative and not too long, which made the course manageable. I learned practical strategies that I can implement in my practice, and have gained confidence.

Still have questions? I’ve got answers…
What is the time commitment?
The modules are released week by week so you’re never overwhelmed. Each week there are 3-5 short video lessons (and printable pdfs if you like that kind of thing) that can be easily completed in under an hour. I recommend setting aside an extra hour in week 6 to complete the short case study if you want to become an Approved Practitioner of the Food Freedom Framework.
My clients need to lose weight for their health. Is this course suitable?
100%! In my experience, my clients who are overweight and follow my Food Freedom Framework usually end up slowly settling to a weight that their body can happily sustain. But the real beauty of weight loss in this manner is that it is simply a side-effect of their gain in health – not the primary focus.
I already know about intuitive eating. How is this different?
Most clients simply aren’t ready to eat intuitively straight away. That’s why they say things like, “If I ate whatever I wanted, I’d only eat cake!” and “I just can’t keep chocolate in the house or I eat it all!” My unique Food Freedom Framework is designed to guide them step by step to heal their relationship with food, and the end result is that intuitive eating happens naturally. You don’t have to ‘teach’ it as such.
I’m not a nutritionist, can I still do the course?
I designed Disordered Eating Coaching Academy for anyone doing 1:1 or group sessions where they talk about nutrition with clients. That’s dietitians, nutritionists, health coaches, health improvement practitioners, GPs, personal trainers, therapists, mental health workers and allied health professionals! If you’re looking for support for your own personal eating issues, this course isn’t for you. I encourage you to reach out to me or one of my Approved Practitioners for personalized 1:1 support instead.
How long will I have access to the course for?
You’ll have access to Disordered Eating Coaching Academy for it’s full lifetime. That means as long as I’m still running the course, you’ll have access to the video lessons and pdfs – including any future updates!
Not sure if it’s the right fit for you?
Book a free 15-min call with me to talk it through. I don’t do salesy BS, if it’s not for you, I’ll let you know!
Let’s get real…
You’ve been questioning if you even want to work in health anymore
Client after client asking for weight loss plans they won’t stick to is getting you down. And when you do come across a client who knows they have issues with food, there’s nowhere to refer them to for the support they need
You’re sick of second-guessing yourself
Staying up late researching, replaying your sessions in your head, flip-flopping on the approach to use because nothing seems to really work. It’s exhausting!
You want your job to feel easier, and actually enjoy doing it
Imagine waking up excited to go to work because you KNOW you make a difference and it feels EASY. I want that for you, too!
You were MADE for this…
but you weren’t made to do it on your own
I’ve been there…
Years of study, 2 degrees, narrowly escaping from an eating disorder myself… and I still felt completely unprepared for the onslaught of disordered eating I faced at work.
Nights spent going over what I did and didn’t say, hours spent researching, thousands of dollars spent on courses that gave me theoretical knowledge but no practical skills to implement it. And there wasn’t even anywhere to refer these client on to!
I wish I had had someone to guide me, to show me how to simplify things, to give me a roadmap to follow.
It would have saved me a decade of figuring it out on my own.
That’s why I made this course. It’s my life’s work poured into 6 modules to get you there as fast as possible, with the least amount of effort on your end!
Because I want you to feel totally confident in your process, your client results, and the fact that you were MADE for this career. You are the perfect person to lead your clients to food freedom. I know that. And so you do. You just need a bit of structure and guidance.
See you on the other side.
