“Through Louise’s sessions, I’ve learnt so much about myself and my relationship to my body. I’ve been able to find peace with how I look, to listen and trust the signals my body is giving me, as well as healthier ways to express my emotions (rather than bottling them up). Louise’s obvious breadth of knowledge and her gentle approach has given me the confidence to finally let go of old ‘stories’ that no longer serve me.”
Gail Pascoe, Melbourne
“I have known Louise since the late 1990s when we were both on the Management Committee of Body Image & Health Inc., and since then we have worked together on a range of projects. She is a very engaging and enthusiastic speaker who presents on the important issues related to body image and the many ways it intersects with health. Louise’s team building abilities were clearly demonstrated on the projects we worked on together. She is both passionate and informed about promoting positive body image in the lives of individuals and the communities that support them. The people of the Yarra Valley are very lucky to have a person with Louise’s knowledge and talent working with them in this field.”

“I’ve known and worked with Louise Wigg for more than 20 years. We’ve worked together on many different projects including the Management Committee of Body Image & Health Inc., organizing Body Image Conferences and Victorian Government projects such as ‘Body Image in the Bush’ (funded by the Dept. of Youth Affairs) and the Fad Diets Won’t Work, Community Conversations project. Louise also helped me to organize and promote my If Not Dieting 2-Day Health Professional Training. Louise has great passion and energy for promoting positive body image whether in schools, the fitness industry, organisations or whole communities. We often speak about how this is Louise’s ‘heart’ work. I would highly recommend Louise as a presenter and consultant.”
