Food Addiction and Body Image can slowly erode our quality of life and rob us of becoming optimal.

My guests Tessa Whitfield and Victoria Webster have been running groups, eating psychology programs, workshops and support spaces together for the last two years. After much trial and error and learning what works and what doesn’t work, they have come together to build a community intended to help people connect with one another and make real changes in their relationships with food and eating. The idea for this community comes from a place of psychological research and evidence, but also because they both have personal experience on how powerful this kind of community can be. Tessa Whitfield, a Nutrition Coach, lost over 30kg, but in the process recognised that more work needed to ensure that the weight stayed off, unlike past weight loss experiences. She transformed her life by changing the way she thinks about herself and her relationship with food and the result has been sustained weight loss and a more positive and resilient approach to life. Her own transformation led Tessa to qualify as a Keto Nutrition Coach through Nutrition Network and she now works as a health coach to assist others to achieve their own transformation. Tessa is an expert on learning how to love yourself, drop the perfectionism and live life in the messy, always imperfect but wonderful middle. Victoria Webster is a clinical psychologist running a private practice specialising in eating addictions and disorders. She has spent over 8 years in the addiction field and has spent the last three years focusing on eating disorders, overeating, binge eating, sugar addiction and emotional eating. She has discovered a number of core patterns that are shared by those who struggle with dieting and controlling food intake. These often have their root in childhood experiences and are sometimes driven by things we may not be aware of. She has adapted a number of traditional learnings and tools to help uncover these individual experiences that have shaped our relationship with food. She has successfully used these in her own journey and helping others. Together Tessa and Victoria are the dream team, combining Tessa’s personal experience with Victoria’s expertise to impart valuable information and help you make real changes in your life and they will facilitate all live sessions and also the WhatsApp support group.”
