Consulting
Building Capacity at the System Level
Most organizations don't have a motivation problem. They have a capacity problem.
People are asked to perform, heal, adapt, and sustain change in environments that quietly deplete the very resources required to do so. The result isn't a lack of effort—it's burnout, disengagement, relapse, and diminishing returns.
Jamie Dawdy partners with healthcare organizations, clinical teams, educational institutions, community organizations, and forward-thinking companies to address these challenges at their source. Drawing on expertise in eating disorder recovery, body image, emotional wellbeing, nervous system regulation, resilience, and sustainable behaviour change, she helps organizations understand why traditional approaches to wellness, performance, and change often fall short—and what actually works instead.
Grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-informed practice, her consulting work helps organizations create environments that support both individual wellbeing and collective health.
This is not about asking people to push harder.
It is about building the conditions that allow people to thrive.
Areas of Focus
Resilience & Capacity Building
Supporting organizations in creating cultures that strengthen adaptability, emotional resilience, sustainable performance, and long-term wellbeing. This work helps individuals and teams develop the capacity required to navigate challenge, uncertainty, and change without chronic depletion.
Sustainable Wellbeing & Burnout Prevention
Moving beyond surface-level wellness initiatives to address the structural and cultural factors that contribute to burnout, compassion fatigue, stress, and disengagement. The focus shifts from temporary solutions to sustainable wellbeing that can be maintained over time.
Healthy Self-Image, Confidence & Self-Worth
Supporting schools, healthcare organizations, and workplaces in fostering environments that strengthen confidence, self-worth, psychological safety, and belonging. This work addresses the personal and systemic influences that shape how people view themselves and engage with others.
Body Image, Eating Disorders & Relationship with Food
Providing guidance on developing weight-inclusive, evidence-informed approaches to body image, eating disorder prevention and recovery, disordered eating, emotional eating, and healing relationships with food, body, and self. This work helps organizations move beyond harmful wellness messaging and toward approaches that genuinely support health and recovery.
Trauma-Informed System Design
Helping organizations integrate trauma-informed principles into policies, programs, leadership practices, and service delivery. The goal is to create environments that promote safety, trust, empowerment, and sustainable engagement for both clients and staff.
Sustainable Behaviour Change
Applying the Resilience-Inspired Action Framework™ to support meaningful, lasting change at both the individual and organizational level. Rather than relying on willpower-based strategies, this approach focuses on strengthening the capacity that makes change possible.
