Here’s what they’re saying…
Must-have...
“This practical guide to instilling body confidence in our children is a must have! Emma is compassionate and skilled in the arena of giving you the tools to empower your children when it comes to how they feel about their body and at the same time it will empower you…to feel great about your own body”
Sally, Swim Instructor and Mum of Three
Shift in perspective...
“I was struggling with how to address the question of weight in our family conversations…Emma helped me shift the perspective away from my daughter to society itself… That is so empowering. (Because) we are neck-deep in negative messaging and discrimination based on body appearance, it’s fascinating to discuss with Emma the practical tools on how to change that, starting with ourselves and our families.”
Anishia, Wayfinder Coach, Arts Consultant and Mother of Two
Life-changer...
“Emma’s book was a life-changer for our family. We learnt so much vital information and practical tips that really gave me the confidence to have those hard conversations and answer those hard questions!! As the mother of three girls, I feel such responsibility to arm them with the tools they need to feel ok in their bodies and navigate this world that has such emphasis on looking a certain way. I highly recommend this for every single parent out there!!”
Michelle, Videographer and Mum of Three
Light bulb moment...
“Hearing Emma speak was a light bulb moment – I realised that I was unconsciously creating ‘guilt’ food habits for my children. In the age of too much information and so much pressure, it’s refreshing to have guidance from someone who has been there herself and is willing to share her poignant journey. Emma is an inspiration in this mine field of positive body image.”
Rachel, Business Consultant and Mum of Four
Relateable, accessible and not overwhelming...
“I had the privilege of producing an event with Emma Wright as headline speaker. Her message is so important and her content is well researched and brilliantly structured in a way that is relateable and accessible and not overwhelming. The audience walked away with a set of easy and practical tools and the inspiration to start using straight them away. I cannot recommend Emma highly enough, not only for what she has to say but also how she says it.”
Harriet, Entertainer/MC/Comedian and Mum of Two

“You absolutely nailed it! There is so little info for parents about this stuff so please keep doing these and let’s talk about having another one next year!”
Amelia – Crofton Downs PTA
Tears of gratitude...
“Emma this is wonderful. Tried just the toes and feet bit with my daughters last night (one is 12 and one is 10). My 10 year old wiped away tears of gratitude and love for her feet :o) Thank you!”
Helen
Changed my life...
“Your article on bulimia was absolutely on the mark. I feel like you had captured my exact thoughts about bulimia (and probably many sufferers) and put them into words. It was an incredibly inspiring article and fantastic to see the spotlight on eating disorders. I suffered from bulimia for six years before getting the help I needed through a treatment programme this year. It changed my life and I haven’t looked back since. I hope your article encourages other sufferers to get the help they need to get out of that emotional prison.”

I no longer feel overwhelmed by my kid’s questions:
“What a worthwhile night. Such a fresh, empowering informative session. You have presented this in such a way that I no longer feel overwhelmed about my children’s questions around body, food, and image. I look forward to putting these things into practice. I hope many people can benefit from all of your knowledge about this area; especially our little ones!”
Anna Rees Hoffman, Landscape Architect, Arrowtown
I learned way more than I expected to:
“I have learned so much in your session, so much more than I expected. I think this is a session I will remember for a long time. You have given me some great take-home message that will change me in a positive way & help our family together have a much more positive view on our bodies and acceptance of ourselves.”
