Foundation Course
Fundamentals of Body Image Wisdom
This six-module, on-demand course is for women who are keen to learn how to transform their experiences of size, shape or appearance dissatisfaction using six fundamental processes of ‘body image wisdom’.
What are the Fundamentals of Body Image Wisdom?
This insightful, skills-focussed, on-demand course is expertly designed to teach you how to cultivate body-mind wisdom through each of the five processes shown on The Wise Body Wheel- i.e. to Recognise, Regulate, Reframe, Respond and Reinforce.
Each process is taught with memorable examples, techniques or demonstrations.
Completing this online course is as straightforward as 1, 2, 3…
1. Watch the short videos anywhere, anytime.
2. Access module summaries and resources in the workbook.
3. Use the record sheets to track skill development.
Who is the Foundation Course for?
- You've tried to be positive, neutral or accepting towards your body, but parts of you just don't want to jump onboard...
- Mirrors, photos or reflections bring up discomfort, so parts of you have learnt that avoiding them is better...
- You have genuine intentions to practice healthy habits but something keeps derailing you and you can't quite explain why.
- Your confidence holds in many areas of life but when it comes to the relationship with your body, confidence feels so conditional.
- You carry a quiet grief for a body that felt more like home or a truer representation of who you feel you are on the inside.
- Conversations about food, weight or appearance either shut you down or pull you into reactive self explaining, neither of which feel genuine.
- When you fall short of your own personal standards, the thoughts you tend to hear are filled with criticism, blame or fears of failure.
- You reach for things that temporarily quieten the discomfort- food, your phone, alcohol perhaps- but the discomfort always tends to creep back in.
- Your wardrobe has become a physical archive of body limbo- holding clothes you can't quite let go of and clothes that fit but don't feel like you.
- You've considered or tried solutions that promise body transformation, because parts of you hope that if your body changes, the feelings will too.

The Course Facilitator- Dr Salena Bhanji
Clinical and Counselling Psychologist, Body Image Coach
For the past 15 years, I’ve supported many women to improve their relationship with food, exercise, their bodies and sense of enoughness.
My mission is to move beyond the therapy room to help more women thrive in their bodies, whatever size they may be, by supporting them to shift their mindsets and abandon unrealistic or perfectionistic body expectations.
Doing the work of body image healing can be remarkably challenging – why? – because it flys in the face of what mainstream society actually wants women to do. And even though each woman takes her own unique journey, body image healing never ceases to be described as “rewarding”, “life changing” and “freeing”.
So, if you’re a woman who struggles with poor body image or wants to be done with dieting , I would love for you to join this safe and nurturing online space, to navigate the challenges of body acceptance, body respect and body liberation together 💐
