2 Week ‘Beyond Emotional Eating’ Taster Programme
This snack- sized online support programme is for women ready to take control of their emotional overeating, rethink their relationship with food, and find out why their approach to weight loss isn’t working. We explore the key reasons you might be turning to food for comfort, and be stuck in a cycle of yo-yo dieting that’s getting you nowhere.
Learn, share and receive support with others experiencing the same challenges as you around food and their body – together we’ll explore effective ways to break free of old habits and set you on the path towards food freedom and sustainable weight management.
The work with Suzanne has enabled me to think differently, to shift away from entrenched habits and find alternatives. I still love my food and have rediscovered a love of eating more healthily, planning ahead and enjoying treats without the guilt.

In this program you’ll receive 2 weeks of group support, daily video content, my clients’ favourite resources, practical tips and the chance to ask as many questions as you want! You will see for yourself that you CAN change your relationship with food, and enjoy ALL foods without constant restriction, guilt, shame and over-eating. You just need to know HOW.
I’ll show you how it’s done. And why what you’re doing at the moment isn’t working.

Together we will:

Introducing…
‘Lighter’
The 6 week group coaching programme exclusively designed for women who want a midlife full of adventure, fun, confidence and growth – not weird perimenopausal symptoms, yo yo dieting and hiding until they lose weight.
Be the first to know when sales open for ‘Lighter’ starting January 2025
You’ve hit your 40s and realised that the strategies that kept you healthy in your 20s and 30s just aren’t cutting it anymore. So, you need a new plan tailored to your current needs. Because you’re NOT listening to the BS narrative that it’s all dry vagina, low libido and back fat from here on in.
Yes – it’s time to STOP. Keep reading, then decide it’s time for a reset.
Because if you’re honest, the restrictive, yo-yo dieting and wellness fads have never really worked for you have they? And now it’s harder than ever to know what to do with those hormones creating havoc!
Don’t worry – I’m here for you and am more than happy to help show you exactly what you need to thrive through perimenopause, look and feel fantastic and future proof your body and mind...without fad diets, and punishing exercise routines.
If you’re after gentle nutrition, lifestyle and mindset upgrades that go back to basics and cut through the nutrition and wellness noise, then I have a group programme perfect for you.
If any of these statements resonate with you, then ‘Lighter’ is perfect for you:
- You hit midlife (how the heck???) and you’ve become more focused on your health and wellbeing (which is great BTW). You’re becoming more aware of the importance of nutrition during perimenopause and menopause, and the specific needs of midlife women. But you’re really not sure if you’re making the right choices for your long-term well-being.
- You’ve always fixated on your weight (like most adult women) and have tried A LOT of different diets, but they’re just not working. No matter how hard you try, the number on the scale isn’t budging. And if you’re being truthful, you’re frustrated and demoralised from thinking about food and your weight all the time…with no tangible results (I get it – that sucks).
- You’re sure there has to be a better approach than a life of constant dieting and punishing exercise routines. Right? (yes – there really is!!) But it does mean some unlearning and letting go of the toxic messages we are given daily by a society steeped in diet culture and anti-aging BS (If you’re ready to unlearn, I’m ready to support you!)
Just imagine for a moment…
- You understood exactly what your body needs to flourish after 40 and could incorporate gentle nutrition strategies to boost your well-being
- You had a clear and effective plan to navigate other midlife shifts like sleep, hormones, mood, and movement, all of which affect your body and health
- You were equipped with the skills to address the habits and emotions that drive your yo-yo dieting and “emotional eating”
- You got comfortable enough with your midlife body to stop constantly monitoring, counting and obsessing over food and food rules
- You no longer felt compelled to start a new diet every Monday because you’ve finally made peace with food and trust yourself to know what and when to eat
- You were so clear on the basic building blocks of midlife nutrition, lifestyle and mindset that nourishing your body became a piece of cake (pardon the pun!)
It’s time to stop searching for solutions in yet another diet or ‘miracle’ product
Are you ready to try something new? To work smarter, not harder?
How has counting calories and stepping on the scales every morning worked for you? I know it isn’t helping you feel good about your body – in fact I bet it influences how you feel and act for the rest of the day. It also tends to spiral us into punishing behaviours – which do not serve your body (or mind) and can negatively impact health.
If you are struggling with your weight – you need to know this. You haven’t failed at dieting — it doesn’t work for over 90% of people. Yet we keep doing it. You haven’t failed; society has let you down by convincing you that weight loss is the only way to improve your health and body image.
What if you change that narrative and work with, not against your body? Are you in?

Why this programme?
I am A Nutritional Therapist, Positive Psychology coach and Licensed Eating Freely Practitioner with advanced training in Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Disorder. I am also a midlife woman. So I understand the health challenges that rear their heads during midlife and perimenopause. I also know the real reasons women struggle with a lifetime of yo-yo dieting and weight issues. And can effectively help them with the knowledge, skills and tools I have built over 20 years in the wellness industry.
I’ve seen all the fad diets come and go, have read the research, seen thousands of client results and therefore understand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to health, weight management, body acceptance and finding true happiness (it’s not in the biscuit tin that’s for sure).
If not now, then when? Midlife is the perfect time to shake off the shackles of a lifetime of dieting – to start enjoying food and living with health, vitality and confidence. It is the perfect time to start afresh, leave behind old habits and behaviours and find a new way to eat and live.
6 weeks of group support, will leave you feeling empowered and mentally / physically lighter. You will have increased focus and clarity on how to eat for health, weight management and pleasure without constant guilt and shame. You will have access to a wealth of knowledge, resources and tools to keep improving your relationship with food and with building body confidence.
Most women I work with have struggled with their weight and body image for years, resorting to emotional eating as a coping mechanism for stress, low mood, exhaustion, and anxiety. But when the hormonal upheaval of perimenopause hits their relationship with food and their body can plummet to an all time low.
But it doesn’t need to be this way if you’re ready to:
- Put your long-term health above short-term weight loss
- Address the real reasons behind your eating behaviours
- Break old habits and find food freedom
- Feel energised and confident in your body
- Invest in your physical and mental well-being now and in the future
- Embrace fad-free eating habits specific to women over 40
- Join a shame-free empowering community with shared goals
Just some of the treats in store for you….
You will learn:
- Why willpower does not work for habit change (or weight loss): Relying on willpower is never wise and rarely effective. Instead we’ll help you break unhealthy habits using evidence-based strategies and tools from the fields of cognitive behavioural therapy and behavioural change sciences. We’ll be rewiring your brain and the habits that add pounds and leave you feeling sluggish.
- Your emotional eating triggers: We’ll explore your relationship with food and find your key emotional eating triggers. Then practice new, non-food, ways to soothe stress / anxiety and low mood.
- How you’re sabotaging your health: When we are stuck in a long-term pattern of behaviour it is often our unconscious mind trying to keep us ‘safe’. We’ll unpick the reasons you keep punishing yourself and your body with your eating behaviours.
- How to eat for long term weight management and health: We’ll devise a healthy, flexible and achievable nutrition and lifestyle approach that works for midlife women. Out with the fads and in with science-based eating and living that nourishes body and soul.
- The importance of prioritising your needs: We’ll get into the practical details of what reaching and maintaining your goals looks like on a daily basis. And what is going to motivate you to maintain change and move positively forward once the programme finishes. We’ll start to pull together everything you have learnt about yourself, your goals and how to flourish to create a clear and personalised vision for your future.
- Strategies and tools for long-term success: After 6 weeks you’ll have everything you need to maintain a positive relationship with food and your body. I’ll give you all my favourite resources, tip and tricks to ensure you maintain healthy new habits even when life gets tough.
Throughout the programme we will also work on your mental wellbeing, confidence, self-worth and self-compassion. You’ll leave with a bank of tools and resources to help you step fully into your personal power and wring the joy and opportunities out of life.
