The 3-month mentorship · Food freedom
Life by Design: Rewired
Quit emotional eating for good, and become the woman who lives a life she doesn't need to escape from.
An intimate mentorship with Tahlia Pretty for women ready to stop bingeing, restricting and numbing out with food. No diets. No willpower. No starting again on Monday. Just the deeper shift that makes food stop running the show.
"You know what to eat.
That's never been the problem."
You run a family, a career, a household. You're the one everyone relies on. From the outside, life looks good. Maybe even great.
But when the day gets hard, or the house finally goes quiet, you're back at the pantry. Not hungry. Just needing something.
Then the guilt. The promise that tomorrow will be different. The restriction. "Being good" all day. And round it goes.
You've done the diets, the meal plans, the fresh starts. You've read the books and listened to the podcasts. And still, the same pattern keeps showing up.
Because you don't need more information. You need someone who can see the pattern underneath the pattern, and rewire it with you.
It was never about the food. It's about the life you're eating to escape.
You're not eating because you lack willpower. You're eating because something in your life, your body or your nervous system doesn't feel safe or satisfied yet.
Life by Design: Rewired works on the reason you reach for food, not just the food itself. We calm the nervous system, release the old identity, and design a life that actually fills you up.
When your life lights you up, food stops filling the gaps.

What we gently unravel
The patterns I help you rewire
You don't need more discipline. You need to stop running the same old stories. Sound familiar?
"I'll start again on Monday."
The all-or-nothing cycle of big starts and quiet stops. We replace it with small, steady actions that build the identity of a woman who follows through.
"I've been good all day…"
Restricting by day and losing control at night. You'll learn why your body pushes back, and how to eat with ease instead of rules.
"I just need something."
Food as the off switch for stress, boredom and overwhelm. We build new ways to feel safe and soothed that don't end in guilt.
"I don't have time for me."
When everyone else comes first, food becomes the only thing that's yours. We make space for what really fills you, so the pantry doesn't have to.
"As soon as it's working, I blow it."
Self-sabotage that feels safer than success. We work with your nervous system so feeling good in your body feels safe, not just in your head.
"I'm fine, I'll push through."
Hustling, people-pleasing and running on empty, then refuelling with food. You'll learn to lead your day from calm instead of exhaustion.
"I've tried everything. Maybe it's me."
You're not broken. Most of what you've tried worked on the food, not on why you reach for it. This is a completely different starting point.
"Who am I to want more?"
The guilt that shows up whenever you put yourself first. Your joy isn't selfish. It's the example your family has been waiting for.
"I'll just have one…"
The one that turns into the whole packet. You'll learn how to stop cravings fast, so you can enjoy a treat without the spiral.
Your old patterns got you here. Your new ones will take you everywhere else.

Real women, real change
"Thank you for showing me I'm not broken."
Clients who wanted other women to know how good it feels on the other side.
From a client, this year
"…I think it probably makes you very happy to know your work makes real change. I lost 7kg, made more money than I ever have, bought my dream house (on my own), let go of my divorce and found love in a friendship (no romantic love, but we have to leave something for 2027!). I also just saw a photo from a recent trip in Bali and realised she is the exact image I pictured when we meditated on our 'higher self' at retreat. But she is here, she is me, she is becoming. Thank you."
"As a business owner, I used to power through the day and then crash hard with emotional eating almost every night. I tried every diet and mindset hack, but nothing touched the constant obsession and guilt I felt around food. Through Emotional Eating Freedom, I learned how to regulate my emotions, understand my triggers, and choose from self-respect instead of self-punishment. I've naturally lost weight, but more importantly, I feel free and clear-headed for the first time in years. Thank you, Tahlia, for helping me rebuild my relationship with food and with myself."
"Evenings were always the hardest for me as a mum. Once the kids were in bed, the pantry became my escape. I felt so guilty hiding wrappers and pretending everything was fine while I was actually at war with myself. In this program, I learned gentle, realistic tools I could use in those exact moments when I would normally turn to food. Now I can enjoy a treat without losing control, and I have so much more energy and presence for my family. Thank you, Tahlia, for showing me I'm not broken and that I really can trust myself again."
"I've been dieting on and off since I was a teenager, and I truly believed I'd never feel 'normal' around food. Emotional Eating Freedom was the first space where I felt fully seen, understood, and given tools that went deeper than 'just eat this instead.' The somatic practices and mindset work helped me soften the harsh voice in my head and reconnect with my body in a compassionate way. I still have goals, but I'm no longer chasing them from a place of shame or urgency. I finally feel at peace in my own skin."
"I've tried everything: diets, therapy, coaches. Nothing clicked. Tahlia's approach was the first thing that truly shifted the way I eat and think. It felt luxurious, personal, and deeply transformative. I've never felt more empowered."
"I've invested in countless programs, but nothing touched the depth of transformation I experienced with Tahlia. Within weeks, I felt more aligned, more confident, and more in control of my eating than I ever have. This work isn't just powerful. It's life-changing."
"I didn't realise how disconnected I was from myself until Tahlia guided me back. Her process is intentional, compassionate, and unbelievably effective. For the first time in years, I feel free. I can't recommend her enough."
"This wasn't just coaching. It was a complete reset of how I show up for myself. Tahlia's guidance helped me unlock a version of me I always hoped existed. The gratitude I have for her work is beyond words."
"Life update! I have FINALLY reached my goal weight! You've taught me a way of life that makes me happier and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you for changing my life."
"So much has changed in the last 6 weeks. You should see my fridge! I'm proud of myself for the choices I'm making lately, especially when it comes to food."
In her words
"After trying so many things and feeling stuck for far too long, I finally found something that works. Working with Tahlia created shifts in my life I didn't think were possible. She helped me see, clearly and compassionately, that the only thing holding me back was me. What she offers is on an entirely different level. My gratitude for her guidance runs deep, and I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone to step into this work. It's truly transformative."
Meet your mentor
Hi, I'm Tahlia
I've spent more than 15 years helping women heal their relationship with food, their body and themselves. I left my life as a school teacher, became a personal trainer, and was awarded Principal Trainer by Fitness Australia in 2015.
I quickly realised the women I worked with didn't need another meal plan. They needed to rewire the stress, stories and identity underneath the eating.
Since then I've hosted 100+ retreats across Australia and the world, built a podcast and a membership school, become a mum, and rebuilt myself more than once along the way. Today I blend food psychology, nervous system work, identity and manifestation to help women find food freedom and design lives they love.
Food freedom isn't about learning one more rule. It's about becoming the woman who no longer needs food to cope.
Is this for you?
This is for you if…
- You eat when you're stressed, bored, tired or overwhelmed
- You swing between "being good" and losing control
- You've done the diets and know they're not the answer
- You want to feel amazing in your body and finally follow through
- You're ready for a deeper way, one that changes who you are, not just what you eat
- You're ready to invest in yourself and be coached, not just consume content
This is not for you if…
- You want another strict diet to white-knuckle your way through
- You're after a quick fix rather than lasting change
- You're not willing to look at what's underneath the eating
- You're not ready to show up for live coaching and do the work
Honest answers
Is this a diet or meal plan?
It isn't a diet, and there are no strict food rules. But if you would love some structure, there's a food guide you can follow, with 3 options depending on your focus: fat loss, sustainable health or longevity. It's there to support you, never to control you. Alongside it, we work on why you reach for food, so eating well starts to feel natural.
Will I lose weight?
Many women find their body shifts naturally once the binge–restrict cycle ends, as you'll see in their stories above. But weight isn't the goal we chase. Freedom, energy and feeling at home in your body are.
I'm a busy mum. How much time does it take?
Two live coaching calls a week, plus short practices you weave into your day. Every call is recorded and the replays are uploaded, so you can watch in your own time. But sista, I have a feeling you'll be wanting to go all in on the new you. This is soul growth work, and you're going to want to do it.
I've tried everything. What makes this different?
Most approaches work on the food. This works underneath it, with live coaching that sees your specific patterns and helps you rewire them, week after week, until it's simply who you are.
I've worked with you before. Is this for me?
You don't graduate from your own life. This is about bringing everything you've learned since, and taking it to the next level.
Is this right for me if I have a diagnosed eating disorder?
This is a coaching mentorship, not medical or clinical treatment. If you're living with a diagnosed eating disorder, please work with your health professional first, and reach out before enrolling so we can talk about whether this is the right fit.
What would your life look like if food wasn't running it?
Let's find out together. Create the life you want. Become the woman who lives it.
