Body image & weight stigma researcher at the Centre for Appearance Research, focused on creating safe, welcoming, and inclusive sport and fitness spaces for all bodies.
Last week, I spoke at the MOVE Congress 2025 in Copenhagen on Staying Active Through Life’s Changes — exploring how movement evolves across life stages and why we need systemic, inclusive approaches to support it. 💬💪

Back in the UK and reflecting on an incredible few days at the #WeightStigmaConference in Australia.

I presented my work on weight bias in sport and was left deeply inspired by those doing incredible work in #FatLiberation.

Huge thanks to Lily O’Hara for hosting!

And that’s a wrap on #WiSEAN2025 - I am so pleased I had the chance to attend and present at my very first @wisean.bsky.social conference 🙏🏻

It was particularly great to see such a heavy focus on the psychosocial factors that contribute to athletes’ experiences in sport (including #BodyImage 😉)

Amidst nutrition stalls, Ozempic and weight management talks, and a multitude of physical activity and fitness exhibits, we were given a stage at #Elevate2025, the UK’s largest physical activity trade event, to speak about #WeightStigma in the fitness industry.

Thank you Elevate for having us! 👏🏻
