Health and wellness is a driving force for me not only because of my own personal health journey but because I have had the honor to witness and learn from countless others who along side me have battled similar yet unique issues surrounding food, weight, exercise, and body image.

I believe that our greatest victories emerge from the lessons life gives us through struggles, hardships, and obstacles. The lessons I have faced in my own time have catapulted me on a quest to help not only myself, but more so others, as they find their authentic natural solidarity with health.

The spectrum of health is far greater than we can imagine. Therefore, within my professions, I work with both health of ‘Mind and Body’ as they are truly so intimately connected, related, and essential to whole health.

I am a School Psychologist who loves working with others. It is important to love yourself and be comfortable in your own skin. I would love to work with you to help you overcome your eating challenges among other issues that are weighing you down.

My name is Lauren O’Brien, I am a Mind Body Eating Coach, and I would love to talk to you about food! I have always loved food but I never thought I would have the ability to work with food in such a meaningful way. In my twenties, I struggled with weight, eating, and body image challenges. I felt alone and like I had no one to talk to. I didn’t quite need a dietitian, a nutritionist, or a clinician. What I needed was someone who understood eating on a deeper level.

That is why I decided to do this work – so that anyone who is struggling around food and body can have someone to talk to and support them. I am here to be your guide, mentor, and friend. My approach honors your individuality, making for a personalized experience that truly works for you.

Together, we can do this!

Leah Price is excited to be entering the revolutionary field of being an Eating Psychology Coach. Her current profession of being a School Psychologist paired with her own struggles with chronic dieting and up and down weight concerns spurred her interest of learning more. This interest is not only for her own journey but to support those who also face daily challenges with food and weight. After being diagnosed with Grave’s Disease in 2008, with no family history of thyroid problems, Leah discovered that the high correlation to the foods she was consuming combined with the genetic factors and environmental influences triggered this autoimmune condition. Over several years of reading books, articles and blogs on alternatives to traditional medicine, Leah discovered the field of Eating Psychology. This philosophy of mind-body nutrition is a perfect fit for bringing her own experiences and expertise together in order to help others.

Hey! I’m Leah! I am a body image and weight coach who helps women learn to love their body.

Many of us spend decades hating our bodies, while our bodies have loved us unconditionally through all of the mistreatment and helped us get through 100% of our hardest days. You weren’t born hating your body. We’ve been taught and influenced to see it as a problem.

Flipping the narrative to see your body as worthy as it is and on your team can lead you to a more fulfilling, healthy and happy life!

After spending 13 years hating every part of my body to now loving every part of it, I’m confident that I can help you learn to love your body too because your body is not the problem!

I am a registered-dietitian nutritionist, highly-sensitive coach, and empathic guide, who empowers highly-sensitive humans to deprogram from dieting consciousness & discover True Nourishment (food, body, gut, & soul).

I have worked for many years in women’s health programs in an academic health setting. I came to realize that oftentimes the power to improve health and well being lies in our own hands, we just need that someone who cares enough, has the time, skills and vision to inspire us forward. I am a certified Health Coach and Eating Psychology Coach. Using the principles of mind/body nutrition and dynamic eating psychology I help women connect the dots between what they are doing and how they are feeling. Then the process for real transformation can begin. I love to work with women, so they can see that there is hope and vitality beyond the status quo. We work together to explore the potential in all domains of life and health and find out what really matters, and where precious energy is best spent. I’ll help you “lighten up” so that you can be a nourished, happy and more relaxed person.

I am a Certified Eating Psychology Coach that has learned through my own eating challenges! I am able to the relate to my clients, men, women, and children on a very personal level. Not only because of my experiences with my own eating challenges but, because I know that there is hope.

I recognized the role of food and nutrition on health as a young person and became a Registered and Licensed Dietitian. I am certainly very grateful for my training but eventually felt a need to explore beyond this realm alone to address my patients (and my own) needs. This curiosity lead me to a way life and lifestyle that would positively impact my life forever. I extended my training to include certification in Mind Body Eating.

This uniquely designed program, bridged the gap I felt between my own and my patients challenges with food, nutrition and body. What a relief! This training revealed tools and strategies I had NEVER been taught and offers multiple ways to help people address their concerns in complete, realistic, bite-size and sustainable ways.

I sincerely believe it IS a well-kept secret to the common concerns I have already mentioned. If you are like me and feel “there has to be something more to…” Know that there IS. I will be honored and thrilled to work with you to uncover ways you can be the best you for yourself, your family and in other areas of life.
