This is not for you if you want to continue to sell weight loss after this certification.

While we would prefer that you have some other kind of training or have a profession that intersects with this work, it is not a requirement for joining the program.

This is not a replacement for a formal coaching training program.

Note: this is not a substitute for formal coaching training. This is designed to give you new perspectives, tools and frameworks to help your clients with body image struggles. In addition, you must not promote or endorse weight-loss on any of your platforms.

The coaching frameworks and tools are adapted from the two coaching training programs Summer has completed (Coaches Training Institute and Tara Mohr’s Playing Big Facilitators Training). She's adapted them to focus specifically around body image and self-worth and have used them on hundreds of other clients to help them radically change the way they feel about their body.

Amapoundcake's knowledge on anti-fat bias, race, class and body image comes from her lived experience as a fat Black woman, combined with her undergraduate degree in sociology from Florida State University and a masters in Public Administration. She's a sought-after speaker and activist having worked with Universities and hospitals around North America.

Summer is a professionally trained life coach through the Coaches Training Institute and have completed Tara Mohr’s Playing Big Facilitators Training which specializes in helping coaches learn tools to help women overcome self-doubt and fear. She's been specializing in working with people around body image exclusively since 2014 and has helped hundreds of individuals all around the world with these tools and frameworks. She's been mentoring other coaches on how to use these tools since 2018.

Amapoundcake is an influencer, writer, activist, body image coach, and speaker. The Sanford, Fl native has over a decade of community work experience. She has led voter registration drives, equity and inclusion initiatives, and worked to decrease food disparities.

The audacious influencer has been invited to speak at Harvard University, University of Ottawa, Bethune Cookman University and more about race, beauty and more.

She has an undergraduate degree in sociology from Florida State University and a masters in Public Administration.

During the pandemic, she worked alongside physicians to help minimize anti-fat bias in health care. In 2021, she partnered with Seminole County health department to decrease food disparities in low income communities. She shares a community vision where people of all backgrounds are not socially, politically, or economically restricted from moving freely. In 2021, she received the Solidarity Award from Job with Justice.

Amapoundcake is dedicated to reimaging beauty. Earlier this year, she launched her own products highlighting the beauty of fat Black Women, who she believes has been negatively impacted by a long history of anti-Black beauty standards.

Her work has been featured in Hello Beautiful, The Curvy Fashionista, Madam Noir, Ebony Online and more.

Does anyone actually have a perfect relationship with their body? Everyone struggles with self-doubt in some area of their life and you don’t need to have it all figured out to help clients. The tools you learn here will be applied to yourself as well, so it’s also a way to deepen your own healing and feel more equipped to help others.

One of the biggest pieces of feedback we receive from participants is that this course helped them immensely with their own relationship with their body.
