  • "My Body Project training experience made me feel empowered and prepared to implement it in both my research and community work… Sign up now, you won't regret it. This was an incredibly valuable experience."

    — Olivia Hubble, Clinical Psychology PhD student, USA

  • "The Body Project with EVERYBODY is the best training I have participated in over my 20-year career as a social worker. Not only did Phillippa create a warm and safe space to connect with others worldwide, she really brought the material to life in practical ways. I would highly recommend this training for anyone working with young people who express body dissatisfaction."

    — Jess Forster, Paediatric Diabetes Social Worker, Canada

  • "Before I trained in The Body Project… I was moving from one course to the next. Since completing the training, I feel I can actually deliver what I know to my community. I'm getting out of the theory and into the practice… The framework is excellent, and you will feel more confident that what you deliver will actually make a difference."

    — Personal Trainer & Gym Owner, Ireland

  • "Brief, engaging, very much kept to the point. Not endless theory and research — just enough to evidence what was necessary… I feel well equipped to roll it out with a relatively short amount of training. Access to the hub is brilliant."

    — Jenny Griggs, Clinical Psychologist & School Head of Well-being, UK

  • "Since completing my training with EVERYBODY, I feel inspired, challenged, and excited to bring this work to more girls and young women."

    — Nevine Baligh, Non-Diet Health Coach & Educator, Egypt

  • "It was well delivered, well conceived and an easy way to access new knowledge from esteemed professionals in the field… It will allow me to reach more people and provide a service in my community that is virtually unheard of."

    — Florence Gillet, Life & Body Image Coach, UAE

  • "Before I trained in The Body Project with EVERYBODY, I understood the importance of body image work but didn't yet have a structured, evidence-based approach to guide those conversations. Since completing my training, I feel confident, informed, and ready to facilitate sessions that truly make a difference."

    — NHS School Nurse, England

  • "The atmosphere was very welcoming, so I felt naturally engaged. That the number of participants was limited is also appreciated."

    — Charlotte Gaultier, Consultant, France

  • "I wanted something so that I could work with younger people and prevent EDs, not just work WITH EDs once they've developed. Since completing my training I feel excited to take this to younger people and support them in navigating their relationship with their bodies."

    — Lara Zibarras, Psychologist, England

  • "Phillippa was an excellent trainer — very supportive, with prompt communication. It felt more open, a safe place to discuss a very tricky topic."

    — Anonymous, Scotland

  • "If you are passionate about supporting girls and women to repair their relationship with their bodies and reduce the possible onset of eating disorders, training in The Body Project with EVERYBODY is a non-negotiable. Receiving training in a programme that is clinically and empirically proven to support women is a rare and beautiful opportunity."

    — Corinne Wooden, PhD Student & Personal Trainer, Australia

“The training was highly interactive and created an open, safe space to discuss a complex and sensitive topic. The trainer was excellent, with supportive and prompt communication.”

I’ve worked with young people, helping professionals, researchers, policy-makers and brands across academic, community and online settings for 20 years to create and deliver evidence-based programmes that boost body confidence, prevent eating disorders and improve mental health.

These tools and campaigns have been tested in dozens of scientific studies and have now reached over 120 million people in 148 countries.

I was trained as a Master Trainer in The Body Project by its original creators, Dr Eric Stice (Stanford University) and Dr Carolyn Becker (Trinity University).

I have led dozens of trainings with clients across the world, from NHS England to Oxford University to school nurses, coaches, personal trainers and private practice psychologists. I’ve seen first-hand the positive impact this programme has on young people’s mental health.

I bring science, lived experience, and care to every session — and I’m here to support you to feel confident and prepared to deliver this life-changing programme in your own community.

I can’t wait to work with you!

  • Body image pressures aren't one-size-fits-all. Boys and men face distinct cultural messages about muscularity and appearance; LGBTQIA+ people navigate body image within complex identity contexts; adult women experience pressures that shift significantly across the lifespan.

    Research shows that The Body Project is most effective when it's tailored to these specific experiences — when facilitators understand the particular pressures their group faces and can speak directly to them.

    Our specialist add-on workshops equip you with the research, techniques and materials to do exactly that, so your delivery is both confident and culturally informed.

  • Every add-on training includes:

    • 1-hour self-paced module to give you a working understanding of how body image pressures affect these audiences, and the research and theory behind adapting The Body Project for them

    • 1 × 2.5-hour live training session on Zoom to practice culturally competent and effective facilitation skills tailored for these audiences

    • Extra programme manuals and tools designed for these target audiences

  • Depending on the add-on selected, we use the following evidence-based adaptations:

    • The PRIDE Body Project for queer men

    • The Body Project: More Than Muscles for boys and young men

    • EVERYBody Project for inclusive groups across, genders, sexualities, abilities & cultures

    • Women’s Body Initiative for women aged 25 and beyond
