Meet the Director
Jasmin (she/her) is a registered Occupational Therapist and Yoga teacher specialising in the treatment of eating disorders and body image concerns.
Embody Space was born in 2021. Jasmin’s passion of incorporating sensory, somatic, and embodied-based approaches into the treatment of body image challenges and eating disorders is at the heart of Embody Space. Jasmin wanted to create a space where people of all backgrounds and life experiences feel welcomed and accepted. Embody Space provides a unique blend of both Eastern and Western traditions inviting people to experience wellness through the coming together of the mind, body, and soul.
What is embodiment?
The term embodiment refers to the idea of tuning in to one’s body by noticing internal sensations, experiences, and emotions. Life is experienced in a body, with a body, and through a body. For various reasons, we may find ourselves disconnecting from our bodies. We privilege our thoughts and minds, pushing aside how it feels to be who we are. We may find ourselves judging our body for how it looks and in doing so, become disembodied. Learning how to live as an embodied person, allows us to experience life in its entirety.
“Knowing oneself comes from attending with compassionate curiosity to what is happening within.”
- Dr Gabor Mate

At Embody Space we believe:
All bodies are deserving of care and support.
Disordered eating and eating disorders can affect anyone of any size, background, gender, race, religion or social status.
The mind and body are intrinsically linked and thus treatment needs to be inclusive of the whole person.
Full recovery from disordered eating or an eating disorder is possible at any stage or age.
We practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and Non-Diet Approach.
Our Values
Connection: we believe in the importance of connection to self and others
Compassion: we embody compassion to self and others
Respect: We acknowledge respect: to self, our bodies and others.
Diversity: we recognise and value each individuals lived experience and uniqueness.
Our Vision
Our vision is to bring together body and mind therapies in the treatment of eating disorders, allowing for an inclusive and integrative approach for each individual. At Embody Space we advocate for health at every size and oppose diet culture, promoting and empowering those around us to do the same.
