Hello. I'm Laura

There was a time when food ruled my thoughts. I’d wake up thinking about what to eat, then spend the day battling rules in my head, second-guessing my body, and feeling like I was always falling short. Not to mention the emotional eating struggles! Somewhere along the way, I forgot what truly mattered to me. Life started to feel smaller, more controlled… and less joyful.

That all shifted when I found a way back to myself ~ through mind-body-spirit work that brought real balance. It wasn’t a quick fix, and it wasn’t always easy, but it gave me something I never thought I’d have: peace.

I've transformed my life and I can do the same for YOU.

I became more grounded, more present. I learned how to listen ~to others, and to myself~ with real compassion. I became the kind of person I’d always wanted to be: loving, kind, and truly free.

These days, you’ll find me walking in nature with my husband and our mini ween Frida, lifting weights (deadlifts are my jam), or getting messy with my art journal. I use it as a tool to stay connected to myself and explore life creatively. I also love cooking and taking photos of what I make. (I’ve even been published in a few UK magazines!). Also, you can check out some of my recipes at No Rules, Just Food.

Gratitude and mindfulness help me stay grounded in the everyday. And yes, I eat pizza without guilt now. I don’t count it. I don’t try to burn it off. I just enjoy it.

That’s the kind of freedom I wish for you, too.

How I Found My Way Back to Food Freedom

Once upon a time, I was doing all the "right" things: green smoothies, "eating clean," strict food rules. I thought I was chasing health, but really, I was chasing control.

Inside, I was anxious. Tired of overthinking every bite. Disconnected from my body, and constantly wondering if I was enough. Then came a quiet, curious voice that whispered: What if there’s another way?

That voice led me to study Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching. Not to "fix" myself, but to understand. That's when I truly realised: wellness isn't a checklist. It's a profound relationship between body, mind, and spirit. It's about coming home to yourself. And then, I discovered Intuitive Eating and HAES. It felt like a deep exhale, like someone finally handed me a map that made sense.

No more guilt.

No more chasing.

Just trust, respect, and care that lasts.

After qualifying as a Nutrition Coach, I continued my training with the London Centre for Intuitive Eating. Every piece helped me heal, and I knew I wanted to help others find that same freedom.

That’s how Omm Nutrition Coach was born.

Drawing on my own experiences alongside a unique blend of training in Holistic Counselling and diverse therapeutic modalities like CBT, ACT, mindfulness, self-compassion, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, I now guide clients who are tired of diets, tired of fighting their bodies, battling emotional eating, and ready for something gentler.

Together, we explore what health looks like when it’s not rooted in shame or restriction.

We make space for emotions, habits, stories, and change.
Real, sustainable change.

Because health isn't about shrinking yourself.
It's about becoming yourself.

My Approach

This work goes beyond what’s on your plate.

I don’t hand out meal plans, count calories, or tell you what to eat.
Because deep down, you already know your body.
It’s just that years of diet culture, shame, and mixed messages
have made it hard to trust yourself.

That’s where I come in.

Together, we clear out the noise, and reconnect with the signals your body’s been sending all along.

I use a mix of holistic counselling, Intuitive Eating, and behaviour-focused coaching, woven with mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed care.

Our work might include conversations around food, emotions, stress, body image, habits, or all of the above.

Each session is a safe space to explore, reflect, and grow.

This is not a quick fix.
But it’s deep, lasting change.
The kind that gives you your life back.

My Values

I believe that how we eat reflects how we live.
Our relationship with food can reveal so much:

where we feel stuck, where we need more care, and where we’re ready to grow.
Through that lens, we can start to untangle what’s holding us back

and move towards a fuller, freer life.

You are not a problem to be fixed

You don’t need more rules, more willpower, or more self-control.
What you need is more trust, more softness, more self-compassion.
Healing doesn’t come from fixing. It comes from feeling. And you are already enough, just as you are.

This is a safe space

I’m here to hold space for your healing without judgement or pressure.
I believe you already carry the wisdom you need. It just gets buried under fear, doubt, or past experiences. Together, we clear the path so you can reconnect with that inner knowing.

Food is joy, culture, and connection

As a Spaniard, I grew up seeing food as something that brings people together.
It’s not just fuel. It’s love, tradition, celebration, and pleasure.
And yes, it’s meant to taste amazing.

Forgiveness is powerful

Letting go of shame, guilt, and unrealistic expectations is part of the healing.
You’re allowed to start again. You’re allowed to forgive your past self.
Every step forward counts, even the wobbly ones.

Creativity is healing

Whether it’s through art journaling, cooking, or movement, I believe creativity connects us to our truth. It helps us process feelings, build confidence, and express what words sometimes can’t.
