Suzi Jenner

Weight Freedom Coach | Creator of The Balanced Mind Diet

Perth, Western Australia

About

Suzi Jenner helps women 40-60+ lose weight for good through identity transformation and mindset mastery — without diets, restriction, or willpower.

With 13 years of experience as a coach and counsellor, Suzi specializes in helping midlife women break free from the diet cycle and create lasting weight freedom through The Balanced Mind Diet methodology — a comprehensive 7-step identity-based transformation process that addresses the mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns that keep women trapped in weight struggles.

Unlike traditional diet programs that focus on restriction and willpower, Suzi’s approach works by transforming identity at the subconscious level, neutralizing mental blocks, and creating food freedom through proven psychological strategies including Future Self visualization, Body Talk (mind-body connection), inner coach development, and Magic Habits for sustainable behavior change.

Based in Perth, Western Australia, Suzi works with clients internationally through Weight Freedom Mastery — a 12-month hybrid coaching program that combines individual learning with group coaching support.

Core Mission & Identity

At her best, Suzi is grounded, centered, and purposeful — a calm, stabilizing presence who leads from stillness and clarity. She brings peace to others through her very being and is most alive when helping people grow — when her words or insights create breakthroughs that reconnect them to their own power.

Her unique gifts include:

  • Deep calm and centered presence that instantly grounds others
  • Facilitation and teaching, creating safe, transformative group spaces
  • Individualization — seeing what is unique and beautiful in each person
  • Connection — sensing the invisible web that binds humanity
  • Learner’s heart — an endless curiosity and openness to new wisdom

People leave Suzi’s presence feeling seen, heard, validated, and empowered — clear on their next steps and deeply aware of their own authority over their life.

What breaks her heart:

  • Wasted potential — when people live beneath their capacity
  • The silencing of identity — when someone’s truth is denied
  • The culture of shame — especially around bodies, food, and worthiness

At her core, Suzi is a restorer of agency and wholeness.

Signature Methodology: The Balanced Mind Diet

Tagline: Ditch the fad diets and make mental shifts for a healthier happier you after 40

The Balanced Mind Diet is Suzi’s proprietary methodology — an identity-based transformation approach to sustainable weight loss that addresses the root causes of weight struggles: identity patterns, mental blocks, subconscious resistance, and disconnection from the body’s wisdom.

Core Philosophy

Diets don’t work. Research shows that 95% of people who lose weight on restrictive diets regain it within 1-5 years — often gaining back more than they lost. The problem isn’t lack of willpower or the wrong diet plan. The problem is that without identity change, you always return to your old patterns of eating.

The Balanced Mind Diet works by transforming who you are at the identity level — not by restricting what you eat.

The 7-Step Weight Freedom Process

The Balanced Mind Diet methodology is delivered through Weight Freedom Mastery, a comprehensive 7-step program:

Step 1: Design Your Weight Freedom Vision
Use Future Self visualization to see who you are becoming. Daily visioning exercises for 30 days create a clear picture of your future identity and activate the neurological patterns that support transformation. Based on research showing that when people connect with their Future Self, they make better long-term decisions and reduce impulsive behavior.

Step 2: Align Your Mind-Body Connection
Learn Body Talk — a practice of connecting with your body and its needs. Most women are disconnected from their bodies, pushing through hunger, ignoring fullness cues, and treating their body as an enemy. This step restores trust, communication, and partnership with your body.

Step 3: Neutralize Mental Weight-Loss Blocks
Address the inner critic, authority figures, fixed mindset, and “something is wrong with me” beliefs that sabotage weight loss efforts. Develop your inner coach — a supportive, encouraging voice that replaces self-criticism with self-compassion and empowerment.

Step 4: Embody Your Naturally Slim Identity
Transform from a “failure identity” to a “weight freedom identity.” This is the cornerstone of lasting change. Until you see yourself as someone who maintains their ideal weight effortlessly, you will unconsciously sabotage your efforts to align with your old identity story. Identity transformation is the key to ending the cycle.

Step 5: Bypass Internal Weight-Loss Resistance
Install Magic Habits — micro-habits so small they bypass subconscious resistance. These tiny, consistent actions create permanent lifestyle changes and reinforce your new identity without requiring willpower or triggering the “diet rebellion” that derails most weight loss efforts.

Step 6: Master Food Freedom
Learn to eat with autonomy and freedom — no dieting, no shame, no rigid rules. Includes quick-action protocols for specific eating challenges (cravings, stress eating, emotional eating, social eating) that give you tools to navigate real-life situations without willpower.

Step 7: Sustain Your Weight Freedom
Four pillars of sustainability:

  • 7.1 Living Your VALUES — align your eating and lifestyle with your deepest values
  • 7.2 Discover Your Heart-Centered PURPOSE — connect weight freedom to your larger life mission
  • 7.3 Get the SUPPORT You Need — build community and accountability systems
  • 7.4 FINISH with Freedom, Not Regret — realise that life is short and precious, complete the journey with lasting transformation

Approach to Food & Metabolic Health

While The Balanced Mind Diet is primarily a mindset and identity transformation methodology, Suzi educates clients about metabolic health foundations to support sustainable weight loss:

  • Whole, natural foods: Prioritize meats, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and minimally processed foods
  • Individual approach: No one-size-fits-all diet plan — Mediterranean, keto, carnivore, vegetarian can all work depending on individual needs
  • Avoid ultra-processed foods: Industrial processing disrupts metabolic health and drives weight gain
  • Healthy fats: Emphasis on olive oil, butter, coconut oil, avocados, nuts over seed processed oils
  • Metabolic health markers: Monitor blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure — not just scale weight

Exercise approach: Gentle, sustainable movement (walking 30 minutes 3x/week), strength training for longevity, avoiding excessive cortisol-producing workouts that inhibit weight loss. Diet is responsible for 80% of body composition; exercise only 20%.

Note: Suzi educates about metabolic health but does not claim to be a metabolic health expert. Her core coaching methodology is identity transformation and mindset mastery.

Unique Differentiators

  • Future Self Methodology: Based on research from NYU showing that connecting with your Future Self reduces self-sabotage and improves long-term decision-making
  • Body Talk: Proprietary mind-body connection practice derived from Holobody training
  • Inner Coach Development: Transform inner critic into inner coach using NLP and hypnotherapy techniques
  • Magic Habits: Micro-habit system that bypasses resistance and builds consistency
  • Identity-Based Transformation: Focus on WHO you are, not WHAT you eat
  • No Restriction or Willpower: Anti-diet approach that creates food freedom, not food rules

Coaching Philosophy & Approach

Autonomy & Inner Authority

“It is not a part of who I am and what I do as a coach to take away people’s autonomy and their inner authority. It is so important that they maintain autonomy. They know themselves best, they can decide what’s best for them. They know what they really need and what they want, and can  differentiate between those two things.”

Suzi’s coaching approach is rooted in empowering clients to discover their own answers rather than imposing external solutions. She asks powerful questions and helps clients access their own wisdom.

Wanting vs. Needing

One of Suzi’s core distinctions is the difference between needing (external obligation, conformity, burden) and wanting (internal desire, passion, excitement). She helps clients move from “I need to lose weight” (obligation) to “I want to be strong/vibrant/free” (genuine desire) — which creates sustainable motivation.

Individualization

Suzi’s top two strengths are Individualization and Connectedness — seemingly opposite but powerfully complementary. She sees each person as a unique individual with their own gifts, approach, and path, while also recognizing the deep connection and shared humanity that binds us all.

“One of my superpowers is to be able to see into someone and identify those unique parts of them that are not like anybody else — their approach, how they do things, how they see things. I can mirror it back to them and say, ‘The greatness I see in you is…’ People thrive when they are seen for who they really are.”

Anti-Shame Philosophy

Suzi is passionate about ending the culture of shame — especially around bodies, food, and worthiness. Her methodology is built on self-compassion, radical self-acceptance, and empowerment rather than judgment, criticism, or perfectionistic standards.

Vision & Impact

20-Year Vision:

Suzi envisions a world where midlife women are radiant examples of vitality — living disease-free, purposeful lives and contributing wisdom and creativity in their golden years, redefining what it means to age well.

She is leading the Food Freedom Collective — a global uprising against diet culture, replacing shame and restriction with self-trust, intuitive nourishment, and joy.

Massive Transformational Purpose (MTP):

“To help create a world guided by love, acceptance, and unity — where humanity thrives through emotional and creative intelligence, and midlife women reclaim vitality, energy, and confidence to live not just long, but well.”

Legacy Statement:

“Suzi brought calm and clarity where there was confusion. She ended self-rejection and taught the world how to love itself again — through food, body, and spirit.”

Client Success Stories

Megan’s Story

Megan started every year with good intentions about her weight loss goal, but was caught in a dieting cycle where she continually lost and regained weight, finishing each year a couple of kilos heavier than she started out. With Suzi’s coaching she learned that success is more about winning the mental game than about diet and exercise plans. Megan lost 8 kilos over a 4 month period, ending the yo-yo diet pattern she had been stuck in.  

Wanita’s Story

Wanita had tried many times to lose weight. As a personal trainer, she thought she knew what to do — diets and exercise — but never got to the bottom of why she was overweight in the first place and was frustrated about not being successful. With Suzi’s coaching, she broke through a weight barrier and achieved her goal by addressing identity and mindset rather than just diet and exercise.

Sally’s Transformation

Sally started the program feeling hopeless. Her most frequent phrase was “Why bother?” and she didn’t think she deserved anything better for her future. Using the Future Self visioning exercise helped her change that perspective. She began to see herself in a new light — someone who was capable and able to make good decisions, someone worthy of having good things. She lost weight without even trying and addressed at a deep level the self-sabotage that had happened in each past weight loss attempt.

Polina’s Insight

“It helped me look at things differently, not just looking at exercising and diet which I was already implementing in my everyday life, but also considering my mental state, how to calm myself and feel good mentally first of all.”

Evi’s New Beginning

“I moved from weight loss efforts driven by guilt to weight loss based on a more positive, future-oriented perception of myself. I feel I have made a fresh start, a new beginning, and it is a more gentle approach that has really changed the way I see myself.”

Personal Story & Background

At 48, Suzi faced a health challenge in the form of chronic fatigue that forced her to make health her number one priority. In the process of getting well, she learned that metabolic health is at the root of many health issues, and that excess weight is a symptom of poor metabolic health.

This personal experience — combined with her professional training in counselling, coaching, NLP, hypnotherapy, and holistic body work — led her to develop The Balanced Mind Diet methodology.

Suzi’s own journey includes:

  • 5+ years eating keto (learning that different approaches work for different bodies)
  • Personal experience with strength training and longevity practices
  • Overcoming her own resistance and inner critic
  • Learning to distinguish between “needing” and “wanting” in her own fitness journey
  • Understanding the power of identity transformation firsthand

She brings this lived experience — along with her professional expertise — to every client interaction.
