I help women ditch diet culture and quit playing yo-yo with the numbers on the scale. I empower women to step into freedom from patterns of binge eating, overeating and chronic dieting- not to mention releasing all the self-sabotage and harsh inner dialog that come along with those actions. In the process, they create sustainable health habits without deprivation- and feel great too! It's time to love and respect your body.
Working with me, I'll show you the thoughts you have every day lead to your results. You'll learn to work on new thoughts to get new results- results that you actually want.
I help you really feel and experience your emotions. I show you that processing through emotions, rather than avoiding them, is the key to releasing patterns of insecurity, anxiety, confusion, powerlessness, fear, and overwhelm. Feeling your feelings is much less scary than stuffing them down. It's the key to moving forward.
Find balance with food, body image, self-worth and movement for life- and see how much more time, energy and clear thoughts come your way.
Well, I’ve been in your shoes- I know the desire, confusion and frustration of diet culture and emotional eating, firsthand. It was my story for years. I went from the girl who could eat anything to the girl who overanalyzed everything I did in the name of health- and judged myself every step of the way. I've seen the scale fluctuate close to 30 pounds because of my food rules and inner mean girl mentality. But it’s not my story anymore.
Back then, I felt silent and alone in my struggle- from the outside, you couldn't see my pain. And I don't want you to have to navigate this alone. I am forever grateful for the time and emotional freedom on the other side of this journey, and want to share those priceless gifts with you!
I’ve also helped thousands of people find food freedom over the years as a nurse educator and healthy lifestyle coach. Experiencing my own suffering and bearing witness to the suffering of others ignited a spark in me to help as many people as possible create their definition of sustainable health.
Seeing other women break free of restriction and arbitrary diet rules lights. me. up. It’s my joy to help you find this freedom. Stick around and I’ll show you how.
I believe that fresh is best, convenience and flexibility are key, and food is a source of fuel and joy– not a stress reliever, emotional soother, or a distraction from boredom. Sure, you'll eat that way from time to time, but you'll learn to take your power back and redefine what you make your actions mean. AND you sure can have fun eating- no guilt here!
I found the transformative power of being in tune with my body and letting it tell me when it is hungry or full. It took me years to find out what works when it comes to ditching diet culture and ending food obsession.
I want to show you the way to food freedom and self-worth. And how to do it faster than I did! Life is beautiful, and time is our most valuable resource. Are you ready to let go of this food drama for good?
A healthy lifestyle means eating your favorite foods when you want to, being kind to yourself, and moving your body daily. I'll show you how to find your version of a healthy lifestyle.
And the best part? You'll learn how to love yourself along the way. Seriously. That confidence and self-trust will pour all over every area of your life. Say hello to crushing your goals!
I love helping people help themselves and watch their worlds change for the better. You've found your game changer, and I am so glad you're here!
Are you sick of starting and stopping diets? Tired of making up rules about eating or working out only to break them?
Join the club.
I teach you how to make healthy living a habit you'll actually stick with. No complicated plans or never-ending rules here!
You already are enough. That one took me years to take to heart. BUT IT'S TRUE. I can show you how if you don't believe me. You get to choose to care for your health because it matters to you- not because it will make you more valuable.
Here were some of my thoughts when I knew something had to change and I needed to truly care for my health. Can you relate?
I'm tired of thinking about food so much, but it crosses my mind all.the.time. I overanalyze every choice I make.
I'm confused and frustrated by all the different opinions and experts out there telling me they have the plan that will work. I don't know where to start when it comes to healing my relationship with food and self.
HINT: You are the ultimate expert on what is best for you, and I’ll help you learn how to tap into and trust that wisdom.
I want to be healthy, but still enjoy pizza, ice cream and dinner dates without feeling guilty.
I want to learn to accept my body! Body love feels light years away. How about “body like” to start?
Why do I under or overdo it? Hungry or stuffed? Where is middle ground?
Why can't I figure this out? Why do I always quit what I start?
I love helping others create enjoyable, simple routines so they can live their version of their best health.

I began working with Laura after frustration with a health condition inspired me to make lifestyle changes. I was looking for the answer to my problem and became overwhelmed by all the information out there. I struggled with taking action and accountability. From the first coaching session, I was comfortable telling Laura about my struggles and fears. She listened and reassured me that I could find freedom and live a happy and healthy life based off of my choices. Then she showed me the way. I found so much power within me from working with her. I learned how to create goals I could reach and each success led me to take the next step. Today, I am healthy and happy. There are a lot of paths to healthy living, but I know my success and excitement for the future would not have happened without working with Laura!
Laura has been an incredible source of compassion and guidance. I started working with her during a difficult time- I was feeling overcome with guilt around my choices and how they were effecting my health. I felt an instant connection with Laura. She created a safe and caring environment so I felt at ease honestly sharing personal details of my life. Laura was empathetic and offered practical support on how to systematically address different health situations. She provided many tools that I continue to use each and every day. Laura taught me the path to healing myself by facing my fears and being intentional with my choices.
Choices can be frustrating and confusing- and now I know they can also be rewarding. Laura taught me how to choose differently. To become aware of my thoughts, how to choose them intentionally, and learn how my thoughts create my feelings. I used to feel so powerless- now I understand myself and my actions so much better. I am grateful I chose to invest in myself by working with Laura. I figured out practical, daily self-love, even when self-hating used to come more naturally. I know the power of my yes and no and I finally choose love over fear.
Monday-Friday, from 9 AM - 5 PM (MST) I generally respond to all questions within 48 business hours.
I'd love to hear from you!
