Our directors discuss the BodyMatters' approach to prevention & treatment!
What People are Saying about BMA:
“It’s become increasingly rare to find health professionals who are genuinely compassionate and put integrity before profit and self-interest.
Lydia and Sarah are the real thing.
Passionate advocates who are committed to equity and justice for those who have been harmed by our toxic image obsessed culture, they understand the issues we all face. Inspirational and energetic, Lydia and Sarah know how to transform shame into dignity and self-respect.”
Dr. Abigail Bray, Author of 'BodyTalk: a power guide for girls' & Research Fellow, Social Justice Centre, Edith Cowan University

Education
A key to preventing and reducing the problems that often result from feelings of low self-worth – including disordered eating and skewed perceptions of body image – is education.
The Directors of BodyMatters Australasia, Lydia and Sarah, offer their specialist speaking services to schools, tertiary institutes, businesses and community groups within the Australasian region to empower with information.
Together they have presented to thousands of students, parents, and teachers across Australia, and trained hundreds of health professionals both in Australia and overseas.
Bookings can vary from simple one hour sessions to some customisable specialist packages with activity kits and more.
Generally presentations cover such topics as prevention, early intervention, treatment, and wider societal context.
We encourage you to let us know of any existing concerns you have regarding your individual organisation’s needs.
