Befriending Your Body
Our mission is to guide women on a journey from criticizing and bullying their bodies to building a relationship of trust, respect, and self-compassion. We believe that lasting change is less about hitting a specific goal and more about embracing the process of becoming - the process of nurturing both body and mind to thrive. Our focus is on helping women cultivate healthy habits, positive mindsets, and a supportive community, allowing them to truly befriend their bodies and enjoy sustainable transformations.
Lauren, Founder
The Happy Shrinkers philosophy is rooted in my personal struggles with weight loss. I’ve experienced both successes and setbacks, often finding myself back at square one. It wasn’t until I focused on my mindset and addressed my limiting beliefs that I began to see real, lasting results. This journey of self-discovery and transformation has shaped what Happy Shrinkers is today - a system designed to empower women to achieve their weight loss goals through a holistic approach.
Holistic Approach
The Four Pillars
We embrace a holistic approach to weight loss that focuses on nurturing your overall well-being. With balanced nutrition, positive mindset transformation, enjoyable movement, and essential accountability through community support. This comprehensive framework empowers you to achieve lasting change and become the best version of yourself.
Nutrition
We provide a balanced approach through the hand portioning system, with a focus on real wholefoods and sustainable eating habits. Our approach encourages you to enjoy the foods you love while making mindful choices that support your goals.
Mindset
We guide you in identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs, fostering self-compassion and resilience. By reshaping how you view yourself and your journey, you can create a positive foundation for lasting change and develop a healthier, more empowered weight identity.
Movement
We encourage Shrinkers to find a form of movement they enjoy - one that keeps them coming back again and again. We do not believe in stringent, unsustainable workout routines; instead, our program offers the freedom of movement options tailored to your lifestyle, helping you find joy in staying active without the pressure of rigid expectations.
Accountability
Through our community support app, we're able to offer one-on-one coaching, ensuring you stay committed and celebrate your successes. Together, these pillars empower you to achieve lasting change and become the best version of yourself.

The list however is limited, and some may find this too restrictive and or might get bored with the protein options as our meal plans are based on a meat inclusive diet. If you are unsure, please reach out and we can share more on this.
PREGNANT: If you are pregnant DO NOT start the Happy Shrinkers Program. If you become pregnant during the protocol, stop the program as well as taking the Happy Shrinkers supplements and consult your GP.
BREASTFEEDING: Breastfeeding Mums should only consider starting their Happy Shrinking Journey 6 weeks after birth. A sudden change in diet can put more strain on your already overworked hormones. Allow your mind and body to heal and recover before committing to your weight loss journey. If you are past the 6-week mark and still breastfeeding, you can consult with your GP to get the go ahead to start our program and to our fat loss supplements.
