To celebrate being you.
🩱You want a new swimsuit but don’t know where to start, you’re overwhelmed and confused.
🩱 You’re tired of wasting precious time and money on swimsuits that just don’t fit right and don't do the job for you.
🩱 You bought a new swimsuit but you're not feeling confident enough to wear it.
🩱 You feel stuck. You hesitate and miss out on making precious summer memories because of how you look in a swimsuit; you know it’s time to care less about what people think and do more about what matters most.
🩱 You're tired of 'making do' and wearing what you know just isn't you. It's time to find the swimsuit style that will lift your spirits and feel great.
Imagine the possibilities.
Being IN those photos with family and friends on the beach, in the pool…instead of taking them.
Saying ‘Yes’, no hesitating, when your friends suggest you head off on a girls’ weekend away.
You love the water and how it feels against your body. It’s the place where your cares are washed away and your soul soothed. It feels so good to be there again.
Playing with the grand kids in the pool, on the shore, in the sand. You want them to remember the fun things you did together.
You’re healing your body doing those water workouts because now you’re in bathers that fit right and give you the coverage and support you need.
Walking into a store or shopping online for a swimsuit and know exactly what to look for, what to buy, and what to avoid. No more wasting precious time and money.
Imagine the freedom of DOING whatever you want in your swimsuit. Knowing your swimsuit is going to do the job for you, so can concentrate on doing what matters most.
I’m here to tell you it is possible. Here’s how I can help you get there.
Are you ready to reclaim your summer?
To live it, the way in your heart you want to, no holding back?

Module 1:
Your Summer Confident Mindset.
Nothing will move you forward to finding and getting into THAT swimsuit unless you’re in the right headspace. That’s why we begin with Mindset. You’ll discover where you’re at on the Cossie Confidence Scale and how to move forward with the beliefs needed to welcome in the change, the possible. To let go of what doesn’t serve you and make space for the new you…rocking a cossie!

You’ll create the Vision of your Ideal Summer. Making it clear, getting it out of your mind and out in front of you, It will be your North Star as you navigate this personal change.
Module 3:
Understanding Your Shape.
Now we begin to work on your Summer Style. 'Shape Before Size' is a mantra you’ll hear often in this course. When you understand your Shape, how you look and feel in a swimsuit fundamentally changes. It really is essential and transformative.
You’ll understand which of the 6 Midlife Body Shapes you are. Yes, our shapes are different in midlife and you’ll appreciate yours through the use of the Shape and Size Calculator and expert help from me.
Module 4:
Swimsuit Design Essentials.
Style continues as you learn how to match the features of your Shape to that of a swimsuit. When you understand the fundamentals of how a swimsuit is crafted and what to look for, how it Fits and Sits on your body will make perfect sense. You’ll learn how prints play a masterful role in how a swimsuit looks on and the right prints to bring out your best.
You’ll get a Personalised Swimsuit Style Guide so that you understand which are the best swimsuit designs for your shape and needs, no matter where you choose to shop.
Module 5:
Colour and Style Personality.
It’s essential to know what we’ve covered in Modules 1-4 but the icing on the cake is understanding the best colours for you to wear, that will make you feel fabulous and look fabulous on you too. We’ll explore basic colour palettes and the impact understanding your style personality has on what swimsuit you’ll choose. I’m looking at you Leopard print lovers!
You’ll understand the best colours for you and the style personality you are so when you shop you’ll head for the ones that you’ll love to wear (and they’ll love you back).
BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE!

Swimsuit sizing is different. You can't just take your clothing size and assume that will be right. This Cheat Sheet will have you Swimsuit Sizing aware so that you can make your purchases with greater confidence. It will be in your account, waiting for you after you enroll and log in.
1:1 Session with Anita.
To help you work through any concerns or questions you may have during the course, you get a private 1:1 chat with Anita. It can be done as a video chat or phone call, which ever you prefer.
The Judgment of Others
You might own a swimsuit but that doesn't mean you'll put it on without feeling self-conscious, if you wear it at all. The judgment of others is a powerful belief we have that holds us back from being confident in a swimsuit. Why do we feel this way? How do we overcome it and move forward?

I can help you get there!
I’m Anita McLachlan. Some call me the Swimsuit Whisperer, the Cossie Whisperer. For over 13 years I’ve helped 1000’s of women reclaim their swimsuit confidence with the right fitting swimsuit.
For the past 6 years, myself and a Crew of 23 everyday women have empowered other women to live their summers, no holding back, with our Cossie Confidence movement and campaigns.
I lead a membership community, The Summer Confidence Society, that transforms women from feeling invisible to being confident in a swimsuit and beyond. The results have been amazing as they master their personal Style, Mindset and Wellness.
And now, I want to offer some of those learnings, that experience in the Unlock Your Cossie Confidence course. The essentials to set you up for a sensational summer.
I get it. You’ve been putting the needs of others before your own for so long, you’ve lost your summer style mojo.
The last time you bought bathers you really felt great in, seems a distant memory. So where do you begin?
Maybe you’ve had a few goes yourself but they haven’t hit the mark, wasting your precious time and money.
You're tired of sitting on the sidelines, watching on in the hot sun, while others enjoy their time together, making memories you wished you were making with them.
Enough is enough. It’s time to get that swimsuit, get it right and dive into life. Do the things that bring you joy.
You know the right swimsuit is something you need to have, to do more of that.
There's no better time than now.
It's time. I'm ready.
THIS COURSE GETS RESULT
Don't take my word for it. This is what Barbara and Fiona have to say about Unlock Your Cossie Confidence.
Hi Anita. I really enjoyed taking your course. I was a bit unsure of spending the money at first but I was wanting to do something for ME.
It was amazing to see your Sequin and Sand ladies in their cossies. They were not skinny models and yet they look so happy and beautiful in their swimsuits. That really gave me a lot of confidence that just maybe... I could be like them. And now after your course.... I AM.
I was not sure to start off with what a course on wearing a cossie could really do for me..... but i'm so very glad I went for it. Anita, you are such a sweet, caring and energizing lady. Working with you one on one and in our small group was amazing. You and your course gave me courage to step out of my safe zone and to try something different. I never thought I could wear any other swimsuit except one with a skirt..... But I love my one piece swimsuit and my two piece swimsuit both without a skirt.
Hey ladies.... if you are unsure of wearing a cossie and getting out amongst people. Do this course. It will give you confidence, open your eyes, mind and heart. YOU CAN DO THIS. LOVE YOURSELF AS YOU ARE. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

More than cossies
After another summer spent on the side of the pool, watching everybody else enjoying themselves, I’d had enough. I was sick and tired of sitting on the deck, and whenever I did launch into the water, I didn’t look, or feel, like me. I grabbed whatever would fit; boardshorts and a rashie. That would do. Until it didn’t and I wasn’t happy. I stumbled on Anita’s Masterclass and immediately signed up for the Cossie Confidence course. Initially, it wasn’t what I expected, but I listened when Anita said to ‘keep an open mind’. There was work to be done. Otherwise, I’d just be buying a cossie and never wearing it. Nothing would have changed.
So, I did the work. The printable work sheets allowed me to clarify and address my personal issues. And sure, not everything appealed to me, but Anita offered alternatives. The Zoom calls and private group provided plenty of time for questions and Anita was always ready to assist.
Think of how much money you’ve wasted on swimsuits left in your wardrobe, or how much enjoyment you’ve skipped sitting on the sidelines. And let me tell you, this is more than just swimsuits; these modules provide a confidence overhaul. The benefits have spread into other areas of my life. After completing this course and applying the lessons, I am confident about wearing my new cossie. I’m excitedly anticipating summer.
They don’t call Anita the ‘Cossie Whisperer’ for nothing.

"...putting my cossies on, looking and feeling good, bring it on..."
"Thank you so much for helping me to turn my life around, I always have a wonderful break when on holidays with my family but now it will be exceptional, so much more fun putting my cossies on, looking and feeling good, bring it on.
Thank you again Anita for all the love support and help, looking so forward to 2022, no looking back we are not going that way."

"...possible to participate in my life, rather than watch it from the sidelines..."
"I have your beach shirts, swim leggings, linen dress, bathers from last year, sarong wraps, beach hats. And you know what? I feel and look hot. I can actually take my kids swimming and join in rather than the look and feel like a self conscious blob on the sand.
You don't know how much your truly beautiful clothes have made it possible to participate in my life, rather than watch it from the sidelines."

"...clearly passionate about women's body confidence..."
"It is so refreshing to be able to purchase with confidence from a company that is clearly passionate about women's body confidence no matter what shape and size we are, and the amount of details, tips and product explanation you have provided is phenomenal. I no longer feel burdened or alone by worrying about what I look like in swimmers so a BIG THANK YOU to you and our team. I'm telling everyone about your store!"
Petra (via email)
"...I stood in front of the mirror and started to weep..."
"I received my swimsuit 2 days after ordering..wow! I stood in front of my mirror modelling my new bathers and started to weep...a decade of swimming in shorts and t shirt or avoiding swimming altogether and now I’m in my perfect swimsuit feeling and looking divine. I've never been so excited for summer. This is a game changer..THANKYOU!"
Adelina (via email)
"...but you make me feel okay about it..."
"See what you've done to me!! I used to be the person with the horrible old one and only boring swimsuit, worn year in and year out till it fell off. Now here I am taking 3 possibly 4 swimsuits to Bali!! Am I being greedy - well of course but you make me feel okay about it and all your gorgeous swimmers, I just can't resist.
…..
Thanks for all your help Anita.
