Foundations Launchpad
A self-paced online course for parents of children above a healthy weight. Learn the 11 essential foundations of family health with MSc Dietitian Emma Walker — and build the daily routines that create lasting change.
About This Program
You’re worried about your child’s weight — but every time you try something new, it ends in a fight, fades out after a week, or leaves you feeling like you’ve done more harm than good. The snack swaps, the screen-time rules, the gentle nudges — none of it seems to stick. That’s not because you’re failing. It’s because no one has ever shown you where to actually start.
Foundations Launchpad is the starting point every family needs. Across 11 short, practical modules, you’ll learn the core routines, boundaries, and habits that make real health change possible — designed to fit your real life, not a Pinterest-perfect version of it. By the time you finish, you’ll have a clear, calm plan you can actually follow. You will finally know what a healthy family foundation actually looks like. In 11 simple steps.
