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.

We offer an extended payment plan of up to 12 months for only $250/month – please select this option when you get to the check-out page. If you need a different payment plan, email summer(at)summerinnanen.com to work out the best option for you.

Session dates for the spring 2024 cohort are TBD. They will be confirmed in early 2024. 

All sessions are recorded and replays are sent within 24 hours. It’s OK if you cannot make the sessions live.

We absolutely understand and since this program attracts people from around the world, we know it’s impossible to accommodate everyone’s timezone and schedule.

While we’d love for you to show up to the live class, we understand that you may not be able to. All the calls will be recorded and shared within 24 hours and you’ll be able to submit questions in advance.

You’ll also get a copy of the Body Image Coaching Roadmap for professionals to give you an idea of what we teach.

If you successfully complete the quizzes after each session and practice what you learned with a client, you will be able to say you are a Certified Body Image Coach and have this badge on your website. We mail a formal certificate to you as well.

You are welcome to complete the program without the certification component.

If you opt for a year long payment plan, you will receive your certification once all of your payments have been made.

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.

That is currently outside the scope of this program, however you are welcome to bring those questions to office hours if time permits.

Summer has a background in marketing and 10 years experience running an online business. Amapoundcake has extensive experience as a speaker, activist and influencer.
