About The Movement

Founded by Taryn Brumfitt in 2012, the Body Image Movement is on a mission to end the global body-hating epidemic by inspiring people to embrace their bodies through documentaries, books, online programs, speaking and educational resources. Our strength is taking evidence-based data from health professionals and turning it into content that is educational, inspirational, engaging and fun!

“We are the creative conduit to evidence-based data.”

Body Image Movement HQ is located ‘down under’ in Adelaide, Australia with over 300 BIMGA’s (Body Image Movement Global Ambassadors) around the world. We pride ourselves on spreading the life-changing message of Embrace to millions of people in every pocket of the globe.

Our growing community of ‘embracers’ mean everything to us and the success of our cause, and it is our privilege to be of service to those that are creating a ripple of positive change across the world. A true global movement has begun…

• Educate our global community and provide tools to promote positive body image
• Celebrate body diversity in shape, size, ethnicity and ability
• Promote positive physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health
• Combat toxic media messaging in advertising

• Profit before people
• Excessive photoshopping in the media
• The notion that weight determines your health
• The objectification of women

• Celebrating our bodies for all that they can do, have done and will do
• Body diversity in the media and advertising
• Acknowledging that ageing is a privilege
• Health at every size
