BODY POSITIVE PARENTING COURSE

With Karen Ellis, a parent of a child who once hated her body.

Karen Ellis, Former midwife turned Postnatal Rehabilitation coach, Body Positive Speaker and Body Positive Parenting Advocate brings you;

An online, self paced course. Two sections with Seventeen lessons of step by step videos, audios and reading material that you get to keep forever.

5 body positive concepts that you can implement in your life and parenting so your children can grow into confident adolescents and young adults who feel powerful in their bodies and resilient against the messages from the world that their body is anything but incredible just the way it is.

Parenting tools that I implemented in my own parenting that meant my daughter went from looking at her body in a mirror and telling me she hated her body to flaunting what her body can do and telling me how strong she is.

Practical tasks for you to do that will help you feel more awesome in your body too. Little eyes are constantly watching us, they know how we feel about our body so the work has to start with us, their role models.

Two jam packed, interactive workbooks that you can print out, read in bed, scribble notes on and keep forever.

The journey for you and your children to a body you feel powerful in, so you show up in the world with confidence without worrying about how your body looks, allowing you a lifetime of fun and adventure. Think stripping down to your knickers as you and your children decide to take advantage of the unusual warmth on a beach walk and have an impromptu dip in the sea AND you don’t give two hoots about how your body looks (an actual memory of mine and Yasmins) - those are the memories I want you to be free to make.

Section One

In Section One we will pick apart the messages that we and our children constantly get from society that make us and our children feel inadequate in our body.

We will get really mad that the world makes us feel anything but amazeballs in our body. We will look the messages that feed us negativity about our body in the face and call their bull!

We will use this workshop to take ownership of finding empowerment in our own bodies so WE feel powerful because like anything with our children, the work starts with us.

It is only when we have completely opened our eyes to these messages and their effects that we will be able to take them into our parenting.

Section Two

In Section two we will take everything we learnt in the first section that helped you feel awesome in your body into our parenting. We will create some body positive parenting tools to help your children build resilience against the media messages and society pressures that our bodies should look different.

These tools are going to help your children grow confidence in their body, confidence that will ooze into every part of their life so they can live an awesome life doing what makes them happy without getting stuck in the ‘my body isn’t good enough’ trap.

These are tools that I used to help Yasmin, my daughter, go from hating her body at 6 to now writing in her homework that she loves her tummy and shows me how strong and awesome her body is with movement.

Who is your host?

That’s me!!!!!! Karen Ellis Former midwife turned Postnatal Rehabilitation Coach I went on this extra journey to find body positive parenting after my daughter told me she hated her body at 6 years old.

After initially feeling the guilt of Yasmin telling me she hated her body I found the body positive movement and I researched the heck out of it. I listened to the audio books, podcasts, followed it on social media and took everything I learnt into my parenting. The results are that I now have an 8 year old that tells me her confidence has gone from 40% to 70% (her words not mine) and constantly shows me her body, how it moves and tells me how strong it is. In a piece of homework she even wrote ‘I love my tummy’.

This is so flaming amazing. Even just typing out the transformation brings me to tears. But it also made me angry! Angry that this work even needs doing. I am angry that the world gives us (sometimes obviously and sometimes subtly) messages that our bodies are not good enough in so many different places that we and our children as young as 6 believe it. Honestly, I am so raging at this that I knew my work here did not stop at helping myself and my daughter feel awesome in our bodies, it had to go further to help other mums and other children too.

That is why I am here now making this course, holding workshops and public speaking to spread the important message that our bodies are incredible just the way they are.

In conclusion.....

This course is going to change your life and your children's life! Yes, I know that sounds dramatic. BUT the knowledge I now have about the body positive movement and my ability to implement that knowledge into my life and parenting HAS changed our lives. I feel way more confident in my body, I literally don't give too hoots about the stretch marks, the lumps and bums and my rounded tummy and my daughter is happy, confident and shows me everyday how strong her body is.

You and your children can have this too. All of my knowledge and the parenting tools I use are all packaged up in this course. It is a game changer which you and your children will benefit from for the rest of your lives. I say thats a pretty good investment for £99. Let your journey begin........
