Body as Earth: Foundations in Disordered Eating Awareness for Naturopaths, Herbalists & Holistic Nutritionists
A trauma-informed, earth-centred, and anti-oppressive approach to food, body, and care.
Body as Earth is an upcoming professional training for naturopaths, herbalists, and nutritionists who want to support clients struggling with food and body distress - safely, ethically, and within scope.
Created by Casey Conroy - naturopath, dietitian, and credentialed eating disorder clinician - this course blends nutritional science, herbal medicine, and counselling skills with an understanding of the social and cultural forces that shape our relationship with food and body.
It’s an evidence-based, weight-neutral, and non-diet program that moves beyond symptom management to explore the deeper roots of disordered eating: trauma, disconnection, diet culture, and the lingering impact of colonial and patriarchal health narratives.

🌾 Earth-Centred Approach
At its heart, Body as Earth reclaims the original meaning of holistic care - one that recognises the body as part of a living ecosystem. This course invites practitioners to return to the foundations of naturopathic philosophy: connection over control, curiosity over correction, and care that honours both human and more-than-human worlds. It’s not just plant-centred - it’s earth-centred, informed by decolonial and trauma-aware understandings of how our food and body stories are woven with land, lineage, and belonging. Healing the body is inseparable from healing our relationship with the earth. Join Body as Earth and learn to recognise, stabilise, and support your clients through an earth-centred, trauma-informed, and ethically grounded naturopathic lens. |

Of mixed-race heritage, Casey’s personal and professional journey is shaped by questions of belonging: to body, culture, and land. Her own recovery from an eating disorder, and her reconnection to both ancestral food traditions and Australian soil, deeply inform this course. As a yoga teacher, long-time meditator, and animist, she approaches healing as relational: between nervous system and environment, practitioner and client, body and earth.
