The Online Course
Empowered wellbeing is the ability to enjoy a nourishing life. Not because you should but because it feels good.
Empowered wellbeing is knowledge, understanding and experience of how good you can feel with simple nutrition principles. And through revealing insights into the food and diet industry you can regain you power again.
A 6 video course to help you create and sustain a nourishing life.

Welcome
Welcome to the Empower Your Wellbeing course. I am so glad you’re here.
Before we begin, I’d love to offer a few top-tips inspired by previous course completers. Those who had the best results did these three simple things.
Make it matter
Choose a regular time each week or fortnight to watch the video and pop it in your diary as dedicated time for your wellbeing. Sounds easy doesn’t it? If you’re anything like me, the things I schedule in my diary that are “just for me” are the first things that get dropped (especially if someone else needs something). This course takes around 1 hour per week. You really deserve it. Its just for you and your wellbeing is very very important (wouldn’t you say that to someone else too!?). I recommend doing whatever you can that supports your commitment to this wellbeing journey. We learn best when we’re at ease and comfortable so for each session simply sit back and enjoy the session.
Self-Curiosity
The journey of this course is longer than 6 weeks. You don’t have to “have it all perfect and right” by the final session. The course is built to offer you a foundation of nourished living by giving you empowered understanding along with simple, useful, practical skills and tools to bring it into life. There is inspiration at the end of each session of what you could add, swap and discover for empowered wellbeing tweaks in the days and weeks ahead. With this inspiration, it is most useful to focus on “finding out” rather than “getting it exactly right”. Nourished wellbeing is about the long game! You could be stressed and try-really-hard for one week and then stop…..or you can keep finding out what works for you. (Remember- you have nothing to prove to anyone!)
Language matters
The course involves nutrition and language tools for our relationship with food, our body and ourself. My experience has shown that the language tools are an essential element of long term, feel-good, sustainable change. The language tools arise from the question of “Who is the author of your life?” and in this context, who is the author of your relationship with food and your body? We will gather new ways of thinking and speaking along the journey and it can be useful to journal or do inner mental-rehearsals with the new language to find out what feels good for you. It may feel unfamiliar at first but it will be worth it by Session 6, I promise! It can be useful to remember that our more “familiar” current language patterns around food have largely been taught subconsciously through marketing and advertising with the purpose to sell more junk for a profiteering food culture! Their profit at our expense. Empowered language is a form of cultivating your self authored life.
Support
I really want this course to help you achieve your empowered wellbeing goals in your relationship with food, your body and yourself. If you have any questions, I am more than glad to answer via email or on Instagram. If you would like bespoke support, simply get in touch to arrange a free consultation call for a coaching session via Zoom or in Somerset, UK.

Reviews
I definitely feel that food doesn’t control me anymore. I don’t think about it as much. I just have a nicer relationship with food. This is the start of the rest of my life

I absolutely recommend Elle to be your guide to a more nourishing life. I highly recommend it for people who have or are dealing with eating disorders. I have really enjoyed these past 6 weeks, I hope more people will experience the happiness I am experiencing after finishing it
Sabina- April 2021 Course completer.
Great course, highly recommend it! Teaches you principles for how to eat healthily which are very easy to understand and apply to your life. Love the approach of being gentle and compassionate with yourself, switching to foods that help you feel nourished rather than restricted.
