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
