Growing up in the dance industry led Zoë to internalise the message that success came from living in a smaller body, resulting in her own disordered eating and a long journey of body image struggles. After building a holistic dance school that promotes equality, empowerment and acceptance for 20 years, Zoë transitioned into coaching to support individuals navigating recovery, particularly those not responding to traditional therapy or facing lengthy waitlists. She is an ISTD-qualified dance teacher, an eating disorder practitioner, and a research associate at the University of Gloucestershire for the Body Project, with a special interest in body appreciation among dancers.
