Episode 12 Shreen El Masry Body Inclusive/ HAES Personal Trainer & Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor

Shreen is a non-diet, body inclusive and Health At Every Size personal trainer, Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor and the owner of Be You Be Free, a non-diet, body positive fitness and wellbeing community based in Sydney, Australia. Shreen struggled with dieting and body image from a young age, but it wasn’t until she migrated to Australia from the UK back in 2010 that her physical and mental health deteriorated, and she developed depression, anxiety and an eating disorder. Shreen's turning point came when her counsellor warned her that she would hospitalise her under the Mental Health Act. This pushed her into recovery, where she discovered intuitive eating, health at every size and the non-diet community and became educated in all areas. The combination of all these elements ultimately led her to a full recovery.  The experience was life changing and this is what inspired her to set up Be You Be Free.

In this episode she shares her personal journey, how to heal your relationship with exercise, how she trains clients to exercise for fun and nourishment, not punishment and how to find the right exercise for you and your body.

Shreen is deeply passionate about promoting body inclusivity and helping women break free from dieting.  She helps women heal their relationship to food, exercise, and their body. But mostly, she helps women exercise from a place of fun and for nourishment, and as a for a tool for self-care and mental health, rather than for punishment.
 
Shreen’s mission is to change the narrative around fitness and diet culture
