A PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL COURSE BY TAMMY TUREGA, MSW, RSW, PHD

Embodiment and Body Image Course

You weren’t born doubting your body — you were taught to. This course helps you unlearn it.

If you’re tired of feeling at war with your reflection, overwhelmed by diet culture, or stuck in patterns that don’t feel like you, this program offers a different path. One rooted in compassion, liberation, and real evidence‑based support.

Built from the work that leading experts have researched, this course blends research, advocacy, and practical tools to help you rebuild a healthier, more peaceful relationship with your body.

This course is designed for women, women who are raising girls, and teens who:

  • Feel stuck in cycles of comparison

  • Want to understand their body without shame

  • Are ready to challenge harmful beauty standards

  • Want tools that actually help, not quick fixes

  • Care about justice, liberation, and healing

If you’ve ever thought, “I just want to feel normal around food and my body,” this course is for you.

What Makes This Course Different

Most body‑image programs focus on “loving yourself.” This one focuses on liberating yourself.

You’ll learn how systems — not personal failures — shape body image. You’ll gain tools that are trauma‑informed, research‑backed, and built to last. And you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of your body, your worth, and your power.

Each module includes a blend of:

  • Video and audio lessons

  • Text-based learning at your own pace

  • Mind Pauses — guided reflections to help you notice what's landing

  • Body Pauses — gentle, consent-based embodiment practices

  • Downloadable activities and worksheets when you're ready to go deeper

You are always in charge of how much you engage. There is no wrong pace here.

Created by someone who has done this work — personally and professionally.

I'm Tammy, a Registered Social Worker, therapist, and the founder of Oak & Rose Counselling in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

I've spent 14+ years in public mental health, including years of practice in a publicly funded eating disorder program in Northern Ontario. That work changed how I understand body distress — and why this course exists.

My hope is not to tell you how to feel about your body — but to offer you a different way of relating to it. One that allows you to begin this work on your own terms, at your own pace, and with far less self-blame.

You were not born judging your body. You were taught.

And what is learned can be questioned, softened, and slowly — gently — unlearned.

This is quiet work. There is no finish line. Just a growing relationship with your body, on your terms, at your pace.
