You’re standing in the kitchen, telling yourself this is the last handful. You know you’re not hungry—but you can’t seem to stop. And after it’s over, the guilt creeps in. Again.
You tell yourself you just need more discipline. More control. A better plan, or more accountability.
But deep down, you’re exhausted. Because no matter how many times you start over, nothing seems to stick. And for some reason you just can’t seem to drum up the motivation to get back on the wagon again.
I get it.
You’ve been burned before—by diets, tracking apps, other coaches, "lifestyle changes" that promised freedom but only left you more confused and disconnected from your body.
You’ve tried to think and willpower your way out of the binge cycle.
But what if that’s not actually the problem?
After working with over 130 clients, I’ve seen the same pattern again and again:
Binge eating isn’t a failure of willpower.
It’s a protective response—a signal.
And it often shows up when something deeper is going on.
In Binge Relief: From Urge to Understanding, during our one-on-one private sessions, we’ll gently pull back the curtain on what’s really driving your relationship with food.
Because underneath the binges, there's often a craving for safety, belonging, or connection—not just the food itself.
“I sought Laura out as I had been yo-yo’ing in my weight for the last several years and felt that thinking about food was leading to too many mental gymnastics. Laura helped me unpack what was contributing to my ‘I must eat pizza now!’ craving, which was where I tended to fall down. By realizing that I needed to balance my work stress in ways other than comfort food and allowing myself to slow down enough to take care of my needs in more fulfilling, lasting ways, I was able to make changes. This wasn’t as easy as it sounds!
There was a lot of sadness that came up and an inner oppositional teenager who wanted to break a rule the minute I made it! Laura has the wisdom and presence to be able to sit with these emotions in a way that is beyond her years. I think it takes a certain vulnerability to be able to sit with someone in their negative emotions like that. I felt comfortable sharing these intimate details with Laura because of who she is as a person.
Through this foundational work and by tuning into my spiritual practices I have found a sustainable way to enjoy food rather than feel controlled by it. I’m grateful for Laura and recommend her highly!”*
“When I first started on this journey I was skeptical about trying a new and different approach since many other things I had tried worked for a period of time but eventually failed. However, as I went through the program with Laura I made some significant realizations about my relationship with food. I am now at peace with the idea of this being a lifelong process that will take work. I am more compassionate with myself when it comes to following my diet, working out and other changes I’ve implemented. I’ve also realized that small to medium changes over time are not only effective, but they are the most realistic way to approach my goals as opposed to the black and white thinking I previously had of ‘it’s not worth doing if I can’t do it perfectly.’
Through working with Laura I realized that my goal was unrealistic and unhealthy and that my desire for perfection was actually one of my roadblocks. Since Laura has been on the journey herself, she had a lot of good information to share and understood what I was going through. She is good at recognizing patterns and relating them to what I would talk about even if I didn’t initially see the pattern/similarity/root cause. I would definitely recommend this program if you are someone who is thinking about your emotional relationship with food!“*
“I started working with Laura to lose a significant amount of weight and get my blood sugar back in alignment. At first, I thought the program wouldn’t work but I was hopeful it was going to help me get to my goal. During the 6-month program, I realized that I’m really hard on myself. I was also able to reduce my snacking and saw an improvement in my blood sugar numbers.
Laura is insightful, full of good knowledge and is always open to exploring how to best work through a situation. She’s very supportive and non-judgmental and takes the whole me into consideration, not just a small part. I recommend Laura to anyone struggling with their health- and/or weight-related issues. She genuinely cares about her clients and the work and masters the challenging and sensitive stuff with ease.*”
*Results may vary from person to person.
Many diets focus on what you can and can’t eat and some provide tactics to help you resist food or redirect your focus. But those tactics only help for so long! They tend to focus a lot on willpower and self-control and when you’re being good you’re succeeding, and if you slip up, you’re failing.
This program helps you break down the things you’re currently doing to help you work towards your goal and the things that are keeping you stuck. When you’re stuck with your health goals, it’s a symptom there is a competing commitment with your goals and it needs to be revised. Throughout the process, you'll be supported to bring self-awareness instead of self-monitoring to how your feelings shape your logic and trigger your food battles.
During this program we will meet twice a month for 45-minutes each time. During the 2-months we will meet every two weeks and you will receive a homework exercise to complete between each session. Email support is provided (and encouraged) in between the meetings in case you’re feeling stuck along the way.
Meeting every other week provides the accountability you may crave while also providing the space to process and digest what comes up in sessions. Your life is the classroom so we use those experiences as data and information to guide our discussions.
Results vary by client based on where they are in their journey and how open they are to the process. In this program, clients are typically a little skeptical at first but tend to feel relieved, hopeful, and like they’ve made the right decision about trying a new approach. They end up learning something new about themselves and have more clarity as to what is leading them to eat out of alignment with their goals. They also gain tools to help break the automatic pull to food, so they don't end up continuing down the path of emotional eating.
