Would you love to feel empowered in your body without the nagging thought that you need to change how you look first?

Let's Get Started!

The Wise Body Hub is for you if...

  • You're a woman who is unhappy with your weight, size or appearance
  • You criticise yourself or feel embarrassed when you see your body or reflection
  • Your fears of being judged for your appearances have depleted your self-confidence
  • Your sense of self worth or feeling 'good enough' is closely tied to how you look
  • You compare your body negatively to others or to your younger self
  • You often diet or have a 'roller-coaster' relationship with food and exercise
  • You spend money on numerous weight loss or appearance enhancement products
  • You hold back from engaging in life activities or intimacy because of body insecurity

A Welcome from the Founder, Dr Salena Bhanji, Clinical and Counselling Psychologist and
Body Image Coach

Hi Wise Women,
I’d like to extend a big, warm welcome to any woman who has landed here because she is tired of sacrificing peace of mind to the bathroom scales, the calorie trackers, the diet influencers, the  food noise, the fear of judgement or the body overwhelm.
The Wise Body Hub offers an open door for women who want to learn how to live fully and unapologetically in their now bodies.
When you take a body image healing journey with us, you will learn how body awareness and body trust can radically shift how you relate to your inner experiences and negative body thoughts.
You will also learn pathways for letting go of old, unhelpful patterns of behaviour that feed the feelings of inadequacy and instead learn how to lean into body acceptance and body respect.

The Wise Body Wheel

The Wise Body Wheel is our signature model for illustrating five key wisdom processes that underpin the journey of body image healing. These processes include being able to...

Recognise

… what your body is feeling and sensing

Regulate

… your nervous system and emotions

Reframe

… your unhelpful thoughts and mindsets

Respond

… with helpful and values-led behaviours

Reinforce

… healthy and sustainable lifestyle habits

These five key wisdom processes are scientifically supported in psychology research and form the foundation of all our body image healing courses.

And I said to my body, softly, "I want to be your friend". It took a long breath and replied, "I've been waiting my whole life for this."
