Coaching for Body Acceptance & Intuitive Eating with Linh Phan

Featured Coach

I've known Linh for years, and I think her work is SO important. If I had a penny for every person I meet (myself included) who's struggling with what and how they eat, I'd, well, have sacks full of pennies! And living in a cultural context of systemic body shaming, most of us could do with doing some work around our relationship with our bodies, essentially bettering our sense of self-acceptance (one of the key pillars of psychological wellbeing btw!). So please get excited with me to see Linh in action with a client, and to get the chance to dig into her approach and way of working.

Bio & Approach:

What does eating have to do with living an authentic life?

Linh Phan, founder of Bona Fide Life Coaching, has a theory that having a good relationship with food can create more alignment with one’s true desires.

She graduated with an honours degree in psychology from the University of Waterloo (Canada) and is certified as a Transformational Coach and an Intuitive Eating Counsellor.

Growing up, Linh was constantly surrounded by food in her parents’ restaurant in rural Ontario. For her, food is a source of connection and love. However, Linh knows that many people have complicated relationships with food – and quite often, their bodies – and she has made it her mission to raise awareness around diet culture and the harmful effects it has on people’s physical and mental health. Linh works with people who struggle with shame and guilt around eating and helps them find joy and peace with food – and ultimately, with themselves.
