We live in a world which is not kind, respectful or empowering towards women's* bodies.
We learn to hunger for the elusive, perfect body and the ideal diet. This dream shapes our entire lives; the way we eat, the way we dress, the way we move, our self esteem and mental health, our relationships, our jobs, our leisure time. We put so many of our dreams on hold.
It doesn't have to be this way...
The Beyond Chocolate community has been a place of refuge from the stress and madness of
Diet Culture since 2000 and our brand new course
A Truly Nourished Life
(based on our book) starts on 5th June 2021
Join us if you're ready to:
Learn to listen to your body
Start trusting yourself
Become Your Own Guru
* We welcome all women and non-binary people at Beyond Chocolate.
If you are not sure if our work is right for you, do contact us, we are always happy to talk.
A Truly Nourished Life
Would you be willing to take a 40 day holiday?
We are not offering an online course
We are not promising you freedom or peace of mind or transformation or success. It would be dishonest of us to promise you that in just 40 days. We are promising you a re-set, a different view, a breath of fresh air and all in very good company.
We are inviting you to take a holiday with us
A holiday from the stress and madness of Diet Culture. A holiday from the pressure and the sense of failure we face every day.
A Truly Nourished Life is an invitation to join our amazingly supportive community of women
Every day, for 40 days, for just 15 minutes a day. You will leave all the heartache and misery behind and connect with want you really want and how to trust what you know.
You are not alone
You will be surrounded by people who get it. Sophie, Audrey and the Beyond Chocolate community will be right by your side to guide, support and inspire you as you step off the treadmill for a well deserved break.
OUR APPROACH
Our approach is anti-diet and body neutral. At Beyond Chocolate we provide the tools and support you need so that you can re-learn to trust yourself and your body.
In line with Health at Every Size and iWeigh, we do not make any claims about what defines a healthy body, a healthy weight or a healthy diet, however you define the term 'healthy'.
We do not claim that everyone is healthy at every size, nor that every size is equally healthy.
Beyond Chocolate supports a weight and body neutral, inclusive approach to overall good health and wellbeing.
MEET THE SISTERS
Hello! We are sisters, Sophie (on the left) and Audrey. Beyond Chocolate is the fruit of our determined quest for an alternative to the constant obsession with food and weight loss which clouded the best part of our lives, until our thirties.
We know what it’s like because we’ve been there. We spent years struggling; Sophie, a compulsive dieter and binge eater. Audrey, bulimic, as well as turning to over exercising and diet pills.
READ OUR BOOKS
In our first book, Beyond Chocolate (Piatkus, 2006) we wrote about our own experience as two women who struggled with diets and disordered eating for more than 20 years and outline a set of 10 straight forward, doable principles which, in time, will change your relationship with food forever.
In 2012 we wrote our second book, Beyond Temptation (Piatkus 2012). In it we share everything we know about how to understand your eating and how you use food as a way to cope. The more you know and understand, the more choice and freedom you'll have.
