Project Body Love
A transformative 4-week program
Loving your body is hard to do.
We live in a world that tells us to “just love your body,” while simultaneously showing us that our bodies are too much, not enough, unruly, and not to be trusted.
And so
if you, like me and so many other women out there
have spent a lifetime
counting calories and drops of sweat
tugging at your clothes in the mirror
+
pasting pictures of other women’s bodies to your vision boards,
it’s time to start your own Project Body Love.
Because our world needs its women committed to revolution and sovereignty and joy, not eating more salad.
If you want to love your body, but can’t figure out *how*….
The Project Body Love program is a place to begin your journey back to yourself;
To feeling like you belong in your own skin.
And I want to be real with you, because I know Diet Culture has been feeding us promises of instant transformation for a loooong time: body love is a practice, not an end goal, but beginning your own Project Body Love will give you the tangible, research-based tools you need to start.
Will you look in the mirror and do a happy dance after doing this program? Maybe. But what I believe is more important is that you begin to be in relationship with your body. That you become attuned to its many languages, and become skilled at attending to its needs. That you uncloak yourself from the shroud of shame you’ve been hiding behind, buy yourself some clothes that fit…and have a fire ceremony to burn the ones that don’t, alongside all your beliefs that your nowbody (yeah, the body you have NOW) is anything less than a vehicle for you to experience JOY.
And?
The Project Body Love program is also a place to feel less alone. To receive guidance along your path, to know that your experience of living in your body is real + meaningful, and that you belong here – in all your unruly, messy glory.
A powerful four-part process
The four-part process that you will be guided through during Project Body Love is rooted in the science and magic of what it takes to change our lives. Unlike so many other programs, Project Body Love explores not just behavioural change – the changes to the things you DO – but a shift to who you are. This work isn’t based in accountability measures, fancy wordplay and to-do lists: you will be given the tools to begin deep, meaningful and sustainable change to your life that you can’t do wrong, not enough, or fail at.
Four interactive video sessions
You’ll receive each week’s module and practices via a 90-minute interactive video. You will be guided to begin to explore the week’s topic, and to dive right into the transformational practices and reflections that will support you to shift your relationship with your body.
Gentle, self-paced support
Transformation happens in its own time and in its own way, and so Project Body Love is a self-study program that can be matched to the pace of your own inner revolution. Though you’ll receive a program email every week for four weeks, there is no timeline here.
Hands-on, practical guidance
We know that most adult humans learn best by DOING, and that the absolute last thing you need in your life is more screen time.
The Project Body Love program is full of hands-on, tangible practices for you to use, every day, in your real life. This is how sustainable change happens.
The Project Body Love Journey…
Orientation
You will begin your own personal Project Body Love by taking a fearless and searching inventory of your relationship with your body: because you have to know where you are before you can know where you’re going. You will dive into the history of your relationship with your body, and begin to reignite your sense of body connection with journal prompts, hands-on practices, and simple ritual.
Release
You will be supported to explore what beliefs, ways of being and even ways of identifying you might be ready to release in order to move forward on your journey toward accepting, respecting and maybe even loving your body. Letting go and grieving the woman you once were – a smaller woman, or a woman who diets, for example – is an important part of the process. Powerful journal prompts and meaningful ritual will guide your process.
Exploration
It’s time to explore! You will be guided to create your own “tiny experiments” in accepting, respecting, and maybe even loving your body. You will learn about joyful movement, explore your relationship with rest, learn the art of meaningful self-care, dive into the juiciness of “authentic intimacy,” re-engage with your inner knowing, explore intuitive eating…you decide: what is calling you? This is a rich, fun, curious and well-supported process of finding your way back to you.
Reunion
It’s time to host a reunion between you and your body. You will integrate all you’ve learned, start to explore what it means to be in relationship with your body and what your purpose for your body is. You’ll also set your intentions for the path ahead, because being in a loving relationship with your body is a practice, not an end goal.

Hi, I’m Jessie.
I am a coach, doula, and author of the book Project Body Love: my quest to love my body and the surprising truth I found instead.
I hold a degree in Neuroscience, a Masters of Health Promotion, and I’m a certified professional life coach from the Centre for Applied Neuroscience and the Centre for Narrative Coaching + Design.
After I wrote the book Project Body Love, I had so many people ask me how they, too, could embark on a journey to accept, respect, and maybe even love their bodies. This program, which uses the same research-based methodology I used in the book, is a result of those requests.
I am honoured to have the opportunity to support you on your own Project Body Love quest.

“I want to be able to jump into the lake and swim to the other side. I want to feel the cold water around my body and see the sun sparkling off the waves as I turn my head to breathe. I want my body to be able to feel the joyous embraces and soft little kisses of my two beautiful children, whom, incidentally, my body created, birthed and nourished, all by itself. I want my body to allow me to travel all over the world and experience the tastes, smells, sights and sounds of new cultures. I want to fly down hills on my bicycle, experience deep peace in meditation, and feel the excited terror of a wave barrelling toward me as I prepare to jump to my feet on my surfboard. I want my body to allow me to know the exquisiteness of a perfectly-set creme brulee, to delight in the pleasure of cracking a perfectly caramelized crust of sugar with my spoon. I want to feel my toes curling into dewy grass, and my hands to know when the tomatoes are ripe for picking. I want to use my hands to hold the hands of those I love, and to press firmly on the backs and legs of the labouring women I support; I want my hands to offer comfort. I want to feel wind in my hair, and smell lilacs in the spring. I want my body to know the pleasure of a flowing, floral dress tickling my legs as I walk. I want to know what it is to be held and to feel deeply supported and cared for. I want to hear the peeper frogs on a cool spring night, and my daughter saying “I love you times infinity times a hundred million galaxy universes!” I want my body to help me learn its wisdom, to guide my intuition with the feeling in my gut and to walk me through the forest as I seek clarity.”
