Body of Wellbeing:
Building wellbeing and self care through trusting and loving your body
Hi, I’m Louise Wigg. Welcome to my website.
Having experienced poor body image in my teens and into my 20s I know what a dark and lonely place it can be. And as I journeyed away from that place, I got to know the freedom and joy that comes with truly accepting and loving my own body, celebrating her story and trusting her wisdom.
I have been working in various roles promoting positive body image and creating weight inclusive environments for more than 20 years. This work is deeply personal for me, my heart and soul work. While my work is based on latest research, it is always expressed from my heart and a deep desire to help you come home to yourself and your own beautiful, unique body with love, compassion and trust.
My Vision
People of all shapes and sizes celebrate their body’s story, listen to and recognise their body’s sensations and feelings, trusting in its wisdom.
Communities celebrate body diversity and individuals feel supported to embrace and rejoice in their own unique body to build health, vitality and wellbeing, motivated by self-care, compassion and love for their body and themselves.
Consulting
Louise has managed body image projects for Government and Not For Profit organisations. She has worked within businesses, the fitness industry, schools and the wider community creating body image friendly environments.
Speaking
Louise is a professional speaker who passionately believes in helping people to be healthy at any weight rather than thin at any cost. Her presentations are informed by the latest research, personal and professional experience and will create a lasting impression.
Coaching
The Body of Love Program is a personalised 10-week program that will bring gratitude for, peace, trust and connection with your body and yourself. Bringing together current empirical research, mindfulness, positive psychology, somatic (body) awareness and Breathwork, the Body of Love Program springs from more than 20 years of Louise’s work and research in promoting positive body image.
Breathwork
Using breath awareness, Breathwork is a healing modality that brings our focus to the sensations and feelings in the body, providing opportunities to enhance our recognition of embodied experiences of emotions and learning healthy ways to express them.
Community
Louise is the founder and Project Leader of the Upper Yarra Body Image Group. The mission of the Upper Yarra Body Image Group is to work collaboratively with local service providers, health and education professionals and key stakeholders to create positive body image conversations and actions throughout our whole community.
