Welcome to the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast!

In this episode, Jennifer is joined by Summer Innanen and Danni Adams, two seasoned body image coaches. They discuss their journey into creating a certification process for supporting professionals to confidently help clients improve body image. They also discuss the impact of feedback, and how their collective approach brings different perspectives and experiences into a rich learning environment.

Join the conversation as they discuss:

1. Continuous Learning: Certification programs should be flexible and continually updated based on feedback and emerging insights.
2. Values Alignment: Professionals should align with their values and engage with current events sensitively.
3. Coaching Skills Matter: Coaching skills, not just knowledge, are vital for effective support in body image coaching.
4. Transparency and Collaboration: Transparency and collaboration can enhance the development and impact of certification programs.
