Butterfly Ambassadors
We’re thrilled to continue working with our Ambassador Katrina Gorry and to welcome Jenna Hudson (known as Jenna With The Pink) and Mark Beretta as our 2026 Ambassadors. While each brings a unique background and perspective, they are united by a shared commitment to raising awareness of eating disorders and body image concerns.
Eating disorders are often misunderstood and don’t have a single “look.” Together, our Ambassadors are using their voices to challenge stigma, spark vital conversations, and promote a BodyKind world where everyone is treated with respect, has access to support for recovery, and can live in a kinder, more inclusive society.
Why we have Ambassadors
Despite the widespread impact of eating disorders and body image concerns, harmful misconceptions persist. Many people still believe that eating disorders are a choice or only affect young girls, when in reality they can impact people of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and body types. Research shows that one in seven people believe those with eating disorders could simply “snap out of it,” and one in six think they are a lifestyle choice or about vanity. These myths reinforce stigma and can prevent people from seeking the support they need.
Our Butterfly Ambassadors play a vital role in challenging these misconceptions and driving positive change in how eating disorders and body image concerns are understood. Through their voices and platforms, they help break down barriers to support, reshape public narratives, and foster more open, inclusive conversations.
By sharing their experiences and perspectives, Katrina, Jenna, and Mark are helping to challenge stigma and create a more BodyKind world. Together, they highlight that eating disorders do not have a single “look,” and that support should be accessible to everyone.
Authentic, relatable, and committed to change, our Ambassadors help raise awareness, build understanding, and ensure that no one feels alone in their experience. With over 1.1 million Australians affected by eating disorders, their voices are instrumental in shifting the narrative and reinforcing that eating disorders are serious, complex conditions that deserve compassion, understanding, and support, not judgment.
Meet our Ambassadors
Katrina Gorry
Katrina Gorry is not only a star player for the Matildas, Australia’s national soccer team, but also a beacon of courage and resilience. Having bravely shared her four-year battle with an eating disorder, Katrina is breaking the silence on a topic often deemed taboo in the world of professional sports. As a mother and elite athlete, she is helping raise awareness about the mental health challenges faced by athletes, particularly when it comes to eating disorders. Katrina’s journey is an inspiration to many, showing that eating disorders don’t discriminate, and that recovery is possible with the right support.
“I think mental health is something we don’t speak about enough in football and certainly the younger generation coming through. I want to help them in any way I can. I want to be able to talk about my story and impact people.”

Jenna Hudson (Jenna With The Pink)
Jenna Hudson, widely known as Jenna with the Pink, is a passionate advocate for body acceptance, mental health, and eating disorder recovery. Through her vibrant and authentic online presence, Jenna has built an extremely loyal and engaged community that challenges unrealistic beauty standards and celebrates individuality.
Drawing from her own lived experience with body image concerns and disordered eating, Jenna uses her platform to speak openly about the realities of recovery — the highs, the setbacks, and everything in between. Her content is grounded in honesty, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping others feel seen, understood, and less alone.
Jenna’s work focuses on dismantling diet culture, encouraging self-compassion, and promoting a more inclusive and body-kind world. By sharing her story, she hopes to challenge stigma, shift harmful narratives, and remind people that recovery is not only possible, but worth fighting for.
As a Butterfly Ambassador, Jenna is dedicated to raising awareness of eating disorders and body image concerns, and to creating safer, more supportive spaces where people can seek help without fear of judgment.
“I am so proud to be an ambassador for the Butterfly Foundation. Having an eating disorder stole happiness from me during my teenage years, I know this is the case for so many young people growing up today. These queens need support & positive influence, and being an ambassador for Butterfly allows me to extend that support and reach as we hope to impact millions of youth across Australia and beyond.” – Jenna Hudson
Mark Beretta
Mark Beretta is a respected Australian journalist and television presenter, best known for his long-standing role as sports presenter on Channel 7’s Sunrise. With more than three decades in media, Mark has covered some of the world’s biggest sporting events, including multiple Olympic Games.
Throughout his career in sport and broadcasting, Mark has witnessed firsthand the intense physical and appearance pressures faced by athletes, commentators, and public figures alike. This experience has given him a unique perspective on how performance, body image, and identity are often closely intertwined and the impact this can have both on and off the field.
Alongside this, he speaks to his own experiences of body image and having his appearance scrutinised over many years as a male figure in the media, challenging the misconception that body image is only a women’s issue.
Mark’s voice is trusted across generations, and his ability to speak candidly about sport, mental health, and media offers a powerful opportunity to broaden conversations around eating disorders, body image, and well-being. Through his role as a Butterfly Ambassador, he is helping to break down stigma and reach audiences beyond Butterfly’s existing community.
“I’ve been able to watch the great work of the Butterfly Foundation and admired what they do for a long time. At the same time I’ve seen the rapid growth of eating disorders in our community in both young women and men, and I’m delighted to team up with the Butterfly Foundation to help them reach further in helping young Australians through this difficult challenge.”
