I struggled with an eating disorder for nearly two decades.
Eating disorder thoughts, controlling food rituals and rules, exercise addiction, restricting-binging…this was my story for years. Freedom is something every person deserves to experience, which is why I’m passionate about helping women break free from years of restriction, binging, yo-yo dieting, confusion over what to eat with autoimmune challenges, and using exercise as punishment. I love helping women who struggle with food and body-related issues make peace with food and their bodies (even with autoimmune disease), and discover freedom in Christ.
I am SO glad you are here! His grace truly rewrote my story, and it can rewrite yours too.
Let’s GO!

Laura Allen is an eating disorder recovery coach specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and breaking free from years of restriction, binging and over exercising. She has personal experience with autoimmune disease & the added complexity of food allergies, dietary preferences, and disordered eating.
She battled an eating disorder for 20 years. Her own personal journey (her greatest teacher), her professional training as a speech pathologist, learning the HEALING power of food & lifestyle when her family was faced with autoimmune diagnosis, completing her plant-based certification from eCornell, and (most importantly) hiring a coach in her later years (which helped her go further and faster in recovery!) are all the chapters of her story that have brought her to where she is today.
Her passion is helping women who struggle with food and body-related issues make peace with food and their bodies, and discover freedom in Christ.
Her personal experience with autoimmune disease and food allergies gives her great perspective and experience in untangling our relationship with food while honoring our good bodies and choosing to nourish them with life-giving foods (which can look different for everyone.)
Unlike other approaches that only focus on food-related behaviors, Laura helps her clients replace negative beliefs with spiritual truth to discover their God-given identity without their eating disorder. She is passionate about helping moms gain insight grounded in grace and truth, feel confident around food again—especially those struggling with gut challenges, autoimmune disease, and other food related allergies. Her family has autoimmune disease (type 1 diabetes) and food allergies, so Laura understands first hand those struggling with gut challenges and disordered eating. She helps moms trust their bodies again, find peace at meal time, joy in movement, and freedom in their good bodies. She is committed to raising the next generation of children that value the size of their heart over the size of their body. We will quiet the inner critic that forever shames our bodies and run full force toward freedom.
She believes deeply that when you run after freedom, you find health.
