Train with us to Specialise in Resolving
Emotional Eating & Binge Eating Disorder
and join the Eating Freely™ Licensed Practitioner Network!
LET ME ASK YOU:
Why did you train to become a Health & Nutrition Coach?
Why did you walk away from a salaried job to do this work?
Why did you spend time away from your family whilst you studied, and learned, and spent time online missing out on family fun?
Because you are passionate about making a difference to people’s lives, through better health and life balance.
BUT it is not easy to build a practice, is it?
Did you realise all the ‘other stuff’ you would need to learn about – marketing, accounts, cashflow?
Did you underestimate how much time (and money!) you would spend trying to find clients to start with? Then a regular enough flow of clients to pay you?
And here’s the big one – did you realise that your initial training in health coaching was only the very start of your learning journey? That ongoing learning and understanding of many different health issues would be key to fully supporting a range of clients?

Why Specialise?
- 30% of adults seeking weight loss solutions and stuck in a long-standing pattern of Yo-Yo dieting meet the criteria for Binge Eating Disorder.
- Binge Eating Disorder is not about food, it is about feelings, and is almost always underpinned by childhood trauma.
- It is a mental health issue requiring specialist support.

The Eating Freely™ Program makes resolving Emotional Eating & Binge Eating Disorder simple
Hi, I’m Emma Murphy, CEO of Connected Health Training and the author of the Eating Freely™ Program.
The Eating Freely™ Program evolved out of my 12 years experience of working as a Psychotherapist in private practice, specialising in Disordered Eating.
There has always been high demand for this specialist support, and when I began to get overwhelmed and burned out from the amount of clients seeking my specialist support, I knew it was time to train other professionals to also do what I was doing – initially to give myself some referral options when my waiting list grew too long!
However, once I began training others, the word spread and more professionals wanted to do the training – there is a significant lack of professional training in all areas of disordered eating for professionals!
I have since delivered workshops and training to hundreds of practitioners both here in Ireland and internationally, and presented at conferences from here to Australia on the specialist topic of disordered eating.
My team and I are dedicated to ensuring we deliver the highest quality, accredited, evidence-based training to Coaches and Therapists, AND that you can then take that training and apply it immediately to your client work – getting that all important tangible return on your investment.
We want you to know that clients can finally get the professional, effective help they need to find true freedom around food, FOREVER, and you can deliver this for them.
It has been an honour and privilege to work with so many amazing clients over the years, strong, tenacious, resilient clients who kept doing the best they could despite feeling relentless shame, guilt, self-hatred and ‘not good enough-ness’. There is no greater validation of your choice to become a professional helper than to have your client walk out of your door, finally free of their secret, shameful binge eating, which had plagued them for years – often decades, and often since childhood.
I am passionate about bringing Binge Eating Disorder into mainstream conversation and into every form of support clients might look for. Clients can look for weight loss support, nutrition support, health and life coaching or therapy in their effort to get a handle on their unhelpful relationship with food, their low self-worth or lack of assertiveness, their past trauma. So clients with Binge Eating Disorder can turn up anywhere, and the professionals they go to need to know how to correctly support them.
I now speak nationally and internationally to raise awareness of Binge Eating Disorder and educate health professionals in working with this specialist issue.
If you are part of an organisation that serves clients, please contact us for details on our 1 Day Workshop for Professionals which can be facilitated for your team, or to enquire about your organisation becoming a Licensed Eating Freely™ Program provider.
