2026 RAVES Australia and NZ Workshop Series (Melbourne)
About this event
During this interactive two-day in person workshop, you’ll gain both the clarity and depth needed to confidently apply the RAVES™ Eating Model across a wide range of clinical settings. Together, we’ll move beyond surface-level understanding to explore how RAVES™ can guide effective person-centred and non-diet care.
While RAVES™ is designed to be practical and accessible, its true impact lies in understanding the depth of the model and the nuances of it’s clinical application — how to adapt it for complex clinical presentations, integrate it with other therapeutic frameworks, and use it to confidently guide clients toward food freedom.
This workshop bridges that gap, helping you move beyond the surface-level understanding of the five key principles, to a deeper, more skilled, and confident application in everyday practice.

- Format: In-person, small-group professional development
