Hi there!


I’m Kitty Underhill. I’m a body and self acceptance coach helping people to have better relationships with themselves and their bodies.

Body and self acceptance coach Kitty sits on a green plush stool, facing the camera in front of a white wall decorated with ivy leaves. She smiles at the camera, hands in front of her. She wears blue jeans and a white multicolouredleopard print shirt

Drawing from my training in Psychology, Sociology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Counselling Skills as well as my own personal experience with body image and self esteem issues, I provide my clients with the space and tools to be able to challenge negative self talk, build self esteem and accept their bodies, so that they may embody themselves fully, authentically and proudly.

What does Embodying You mean?

We are actively encouraged by our environment, our upbringing and society to disengage from ourselves and our bodies. For example: pushing away our feelings, ignoring hunger cues, not speaking up, ‘hustle culture', diet culture, working until burnout and ignoring our physical sensations that tell us we are not ok. This is disembodiment - an encouraged disconnect from ourselves.

Disembodiment is not an inherently bad thing - this can be a protective mechanism for many of us. However, developing self acceptance and self trust means re-learning to be in tune with ourselves and our bodies.

The aim at Embodying You is to help you to grow those skills within yourself so you can learn to accept (and hopefully love!) yourself. Hating ourselves and our bodies should not be the default, and here at Embodying You, I aim to help you make that transformational shift so you can live more confidently, freely and unapologetically.

Testimonials

  • I've worked with Kitty on a number of occasions, and her body acceptance workshop she hosted at Skinnydip for the internal team was so inspiring.

    The whole team felt uplifted, inspired and enlightened afterwards, and it was such a lovely feeling knowing we were all there to lift each other up with Kitty's guidance. The workshop was fun, educational, inclusive and made so many amazing points that I'd never stopped to think about before.

    Kitty as a person is so likeable, charismatic and kind - I wish I could carry her around in my pocket all day to keep me motivated. You won't regret booking a workshop with Kitty.

  • EmbodyingYou coaching has been (and continues to be) an increasingly positive experience. Upon meeting Kitty, any concerns I had about being judged or lectured were immediately erased - she made me feel completely at ease by ensuring I felt safe enough to ask questions and give her feedback. Instead of trying to change who you are, she aims to help you reconnect to what you want out of life, and genuinely wants to see you flourish.

    Her well-referenced bank of tailored support strategies is incredibly helpful - especially because I can apply them outside of coaching sessions. Through working with Kitty, I can more clearly see the ways in which I hold myself back and balance my perspective to one that helps me achieve my goals more effectively.

    I highly recommend working with Kitty; she is professional, down-to-earth, empathetic, funny, and kind. She knows exactly when to check in with boundaries and when to push you further.

  • I approached Kitty’s sessions with a concoction of self-confidence and body confidence issues as well as a severe lack of direction that was bringing me down and making me feel really low. By the first session, I already felt like I had a clearer vision of my goals for the year and different ways that I could try to lead a happier and more fulfilled life.

    After six sessions, I learnt so much about myself and some really important lessons in self-love and appreciation that I will carry throughout my life and implement daily to be kinder to myself.

    Kitty has a wonderful ability to make you feel like you are in a safe space, that you can open up and reveal your darkest thoughts with no judgement in return. More importantly, Kitty’s warm personality and thought-provoking questions make you feel like you are on a journey together and I can safely say that I feel a lot lighter, brighter and more confident moving forward. I highly recommend her sessions to anyone and can’t wait for more of my own sessions!

  • I’ve absolutely loved working with Kitty. I met her in person and was instantly drawn to her and felt this is someone who I wanted to work with. Kitty made me feel so understood and held, but also always made sure I was owning and leading the work we were doing together. I’ve felt a massive improvement in my body confidence, self esteem and body image. Kitty is such a warm person, we could have a laugh together as well as going deep and vulnerable, which made our sessions a joy as well as impactful. I look forward to continuing working together.

  • We collaborated with Kitty on one of our 'What I Wish I'd Known' co-creation workshops, which help us to understand the gaps in sex education and how we might improve the subject for young people today. Kitty was warm, knowledgeable and professional throughout. She helped us to make improvements to the workshop, as well as advertise it to attendees. She was an excellent facilitator - super friendly and expert in navigating complex, sensitive discussions. We're looking forward to working with her again soon!

  • We have had the pleasure of Kitty joining us for three of our events now and each have been a wonderful experience.

    She facilitates such a welcoming, accepting space and offers sage knowledge within her field of body positivity and life coaching. She is an excellent speaker and her warm bubbly nature allows for the guests and us to feel so supported during the discussion circles and workshops.

    She is super organised and massively reliable and has been a key part in helping us grow our community, and we’ll absolutely be inviting her to come and co-host future sessions.
