the 2027 program

four levels that grow with your students

Each level builds on the last, from Years 5–6 through to Year 12, so young people keep coming back to what they’ve learnt and making it work in real life. Every session is full of stories, facts, activities (and snacks, of course!).

what schools say

“Angelica is relatable, creative, engaging and resourceful and caters to different year levels. She always maintains a positive, can-do attitude, organised, punctual and professional and authentic manner.”

Nella Cirillo, Assistant Principal

Marian College

“Just wanted to say that you were incredible today! We all said afterwards how perfectly it fit in and it was great length. It really fit in with our inquiry unit and followed up nicely after we had spoken about the digestive system.”

Teacher

St Joseph’s Primary

“I didn’t realise until today that I had been struggling with my body image. I felt I could relate to Gel’s story – it really opened my eyes. Now I feel so empowered and uplifted.”

what we were fed, and what we pass on

The food and body messages we grew up with don’t disappear when we leave school. I run warm, practical sessions for workplaces, from International Women’s Day keynotes to lunch-and-learns for working parents.

you don’t need all the answers to help

Whether your young person is in primary school or about to finish Year 12, the way we talk about food and bodies at home matters, and the small, everyday moments count the most. I’m here to help you feel more confident in those conversations.

“I just wanted to touch base to let you know how much of a positive impact you had on my daughter. She is excited about food again, cooking, and is eating more on a regular basis.” – Parent
