Signature programme

Empowered Eating

Reprogram your relationship with food and never go on another diet again!

Anxiety, loneliness, boredom and anger are emotions that can trigger what we eat.

If you’ve been on more than one diet in your life, feel confused about what you can eat and have anxiety over your choices or guilt after eating, this programme is the solution to release you from that cycle.

I am finally free! 

“After living life for 30 years constantly thinking about food, dieting, feeling guilty about what I ate and letting food dictate my self-worth I can say I am finally FREE.

I wish I could explain to you the lightness I feel now. The heavy weight of shame and guilt has been lifted and I have so many other good things to put my mind to. I am more in tune with my body, its needs and I feel I am in charge of food, not the other way around.”

– Nadia A.

Frequently asked questions

Is this definitely going to work? 

Yikes! #awkward. Seriously though, that's a good question! Like any programme/course/training or anything like this. The results are based purely on what you put into it, the actions you take, the decisions you make and the time you put into it etc. etc. etc. I can’t make any promises or guarantees because I don’t know you! And while I’m here to support you, I can’t MAKE you do anything right? What I can tell you though, that this course has been set up to make things a lot easier for you to succeed if you do the work and take action on it.

Will I lose weight? 

Ah, geez. You're really putting me on the spot today! Honest answer, I don’t know. If you have excess weight on your body due to an unhealthy relationship with food you might lose weight on this programme but all bodies and circumstances are different and so there is no way to say. Empowered Eating is a non-diet approach to having a healthy relationship to food (diets are usually the things that screw us up in the first place, and you can’t heal from what hurt ya!). That said, Empowered Eating is still very much a health-promoting choice. It can help you find what a healthy weight is for your body, based on your natural set-point weight (your genetic blueprint) and a set of healthy behaviours, not based on a number on the scale. Empowered Eating works under the general idea that health is a feeling not a look. Coo?

I'm on a special diet, can I still do this programme? 

You sure can! I actually recommend it. Remember how we’re getting away from diets? That also means that this course does not give you any strict rules or meal plans – just some inspiration and tips to make meal planning super easy. If you need additional support with your condition and specific advice, you may want to work with one of our nutritionists along the way. Any advice should NEVER replace that of your GP and/or medical professionals.

But I've tried everything and nothing works! 

I know, I know, that’s why we’re here though right? I’ve been there too! But guess what I’ve learned, it’s NOT your fault. There’s a reason why dieting doesn’t work and we’re going to learn all about it my friend. I want you to feel empowered, not like a failure. By the end of this programme, you’ll be ready to punch diets in the face for everything they’ve done to mess up your mind and body over the years. Time to break free friends, time to REALLY take care of your health and wellbeing…. Without diets (they are dicks).
Also, my friend, you haven’t tried this!

So, what's holding you back? 

Fear of failure? 

Nah uh. You can’t fail at this one.
I know, you’ve been there, done diets before but this is different. I promise you. You absolutely can’t fail because there is no wrong way to do this programme. And if you’ve self-sabotaged in the past – well you’ve come to the right place. We’ll get to the bottom of ‘why’ and what you can do about it. Just have an open mind, go through the modules, get support and watch the magic unfold. Ok, it’s not magic, it’s research but what eves.

Wanting an easier 'way out'

Small Yeah yeah I know. Diets are so glitzy and pretty and make such lovely promises but has the ‘easy’ way out been all that easy? Did the weight stay off? Was it so much fun to restrict your favourite foods? Did you feel empowered around cookies? Bottom line, is quick and easy doesn’t work long term. Empowered eating on the other hand –is a game changer. But don’t worry, it’s not rocket science either. I’ll guide you through small doable and sustainable steps along the way. It’s worked for others, it will work for you!.

Worried it will be just another course you'll never do

Yeah I know, we’re inundated with online courses these days (thanks Covid) and maybe you’ve done a few in the past and just got tired of staring at a computer screen. But! The Empowered Eating Experience is different! Not only do you have your very own workbook to guide you (honestly, you don’t even have to open your computer if you don’t want to) you’ll have heaps of support through our live classes and can reach out any time. We’re in this together. This is an experience – not just another online course. text.

Too busy? 

Welcome to the club. Seriously though, this programme is designed to work within your schedule. You can put in as little or as much time as you’d like and you’ll still get the job done. You’ll have access to the group, and the materials for life – so you’ve got nothing to lose.

Too pricey? 

It might be, but just think about how much you'll save in the long run if you never have to buy another diet plan or programme again. = Priceless. We are also very happy to do payment plans to suit any budget. Just get in touch, we want this to work for you. 


Sometimes, I feel like I’d been on a diet for most of my life and frankly…they suck

Hi! I’m Michelle…

I was the school weirdo.

I know what it’s like to be different and thanks to that I wanted to create something different. I was that sweet, slightly weird 80’s kid with a ‘few extra Kg’s’, the perm and some sweet as bottle cap glasses. Basically, a walking target for those mean kids.
That being said, if I hadn’t had the experiences I had and spent most of my life ‘fitting out’ I wouldn’t have been able to create this programme – because trying to ‘fit in’ is what got us into this mess in the first place. Let’s be rebels, let’s be slightly weird together and lets’ do things differently for a change – because let’s face it. It’s hip to be square.

Course reviews

"I had pizza this week which is something I haven't eaten in a long time and it didn't end up leading to a binge. I actually have no guilt about it whatsoever!"

"My biggest ah-ha moment was finding out my 'why'... Why I eat when stressed or bored and pausing to actually deal with emotions rather than just eating them."
