Hi! I'm Laura.
mind-body eating coach, registered nurse, Food freedom expert, certified diabetes care and education specialist, yoga teacher
I'll show you how to create a nourishing lifestyle-inside and out. You'll learn about what you're putting in your body, and that the thoughts you have every day lead to your results. You'll gain tools to work on new thoughts to get new results- ones that you actually want.
You'll learn to really feel and experience your emotions. I show you that processing 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 or buffering with food or other distractions that numb, rather than serve. And it's the key to moving forward.
Find balance with food, body image, health habits, 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. 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 grateful for the time, health, and emotional freedom I have now, and I 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.
Why am i the right fit for you?
Eat what you want, when you want- without the emotional baggage.
I help you find freedom from patterns of binge eating, overeating and chronic dieting- and release the self-sabotage and harsh inner dialog that comes along with those actions.
Stick around and I'll show you how!
Stick around, and I'll show you how!
Create sustainable health habits without deprivation- and feel great too!
It's time to love and respect your body.
I help people ditch diet culture and quit playing yo-yo with the numbers on the scale, creating a life they love in the process.

Are you sick of starting and stopping diets?
Tired of making up rules about eating or working out only to break them?
Ready to never diet again?
Join the club.
Food is medicine.
Movement is medicine.
Mindset is medicine.
Which leads me to why this site exists: I'm here to serve you.
Are you ready to let go of this food drama and diets 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 for a life you love.
IT'S TIME TO START TAPPING INTO THIS POWER.
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!
A healthy lifestyle should be enjoyable, freeing and individualized!
WHAT you need to know
Here's What Makes My Approach Different:
Demonizing food only turns it into a forbidden fruit, making you want it more. Instead of telling yourself it’s “bad” or "good", learn how to be curious about the relationship you developed with it.
Eating doesn’t just happen. There’s always a decision, even if you can’t see it right now. By learning how habits form in the brain, you’ll figure out why you say yes, even when it's not what you need.
You can’t do this work in a vacuum or wait for the elusive stress-free time with no events, vacations, or deadlines. Lasting habit change requires practicing these skills in real life- so you can sustain them in real life.

Adrienne
"I began working with Laura after frustration with a health condition inspired me to make lifestyle changes around food, exercise, and mindset. 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!"
"She listened and reassured me that I could find freedom..."
Joy
"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 address different health situations step-by-step. 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."
"She created a safe and caring environment so I felt at ease honestly sharing personal details of my life."
Michelle
"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. It has changed every aspect of my life for the better. I figured out practical, daily self-love, even when the opposite used to come more naturally. I know the power of my yes and no and I finally choose what I want for my life rather than staying in fear of change."
"Working with Laura showed me the strength of my choices."
