Client Results

When I first reached out to Laura for support, I was emotionally and physically unhealthy. I was stuck and could not move forward with my exercise and eating goals. I now feel so much more comfortable in my own skin and am a lot less anxious. I recommend this program to anyone who has struggled to understand his or her relationship with food. This is not just another diet.*

~Lauren

When I began my work with Laura I'd already done A LOT of work on my own but something wasn’t working. There was a disconnect between all the pieces I’d gathered and the way my intentions were playing out in real life. I’d had years of struggle & guilt, interspersed with occasional bouts of health & success. Consistently sustainable, healthy choices seemed beyond reach. Laura’s keen awareness and fierce compassion allowed me access to subtle insights I could never have gained on my own. Various things were undermining my ability to grow and succeed in my relationship with food. Laura identifies and addresses unhelpful patterns with kindness and offers creative, thoughtful methods for engaging and shifting those patterns. Her empathetic, balanced, honest perspective is central to her impact in my life. She is an ongoing confidant & advocate.*

“I reached out to Laura because I wanted to understand why I always felt I had no time to care for myself, learn to stop binge spirals, how to prioritize myself/my health and find room for it in my life. After completing the program, my binging is at nearly zero. I also have more balance where I’m eating throughout the day, rather than starving until evening. I recommend Laura and her programs to anyone having mental gymnastics around food, if you’re fuzzy about why you behave the way you do, and especially to anyone in despair or feeling hopeless about their relationship with food. This work will help you get out of the weeds and give you an understanding of your actions that will lead to a natural course correction.”*

"I have spent years going from diet to diet to diet, but I always knew it was never about the food and I just needed someone to work with me about the decisions behind the food. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"*

~S. M.

After going through Truce with Food, I don’t eat impulsively anymore, my late-night snacking is totally under control, and I trust my body and my choices! I never realized how my relationship with food was really a manifestation of my relationship with myself and others. She finally helped me realize that the ‘long lost twin’ I’ve been looking for my whole life is ME!*

About Laura

For over 16 years, I struggled with my weight and always thought it was lack of self-control. After years of yo-yo dieting and self-sabotage, I managed to lose 60 pounds and have kept it off for over 13 years.

Even though I achieved my weight loss goals, I was still consumed with the thought of food and was stuck in a vicious cycle of eating well for a while and then not caring and eating whatever I wanted.

As I was getting my health coaching certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I had more information than ever but my weight was starting to creep up.

It wasn’t until I started working with my own health coach that I realized I needed to dig deeper to figure out what was causing me to fall off track. Now, it’s my mission to help others discover why they’re able to resist food some days but then find themselves overindulging on others. The food didn’t change, so what did?

I love uncovering what’s holding you back on your weight loss and wellness journey. That’s why I became a certified health coach and received my certification as a Truce with Food coach. I’m extremely passionate about helping you transform your relationship with food!
