Unlock your inner confidence, stop dieting for good, and begin to unapologetically make the most aligned choices for your body and your life.
THIS is the program for women who desire freedom with food, peace in their bodies, and empowerment in their lives.
You can’t live a full life on an empty stomach.
Hello, my love! I am SO happy you’re here.
My mission is to help women like you ditch the scale, the fad diets, and the unhealthy and damaging rhetoric we hear far too often in the health and wellness industry. I want you to actually find deep health in your mind, body, and soul.
If you are ready to take control of your health and your life with full support and guidance from an experienced and certified coach (testimonials from past participants below!) and a like-hearted community for accountability, sisterhood, and support, then THIS is the space for you!
Truly — what if I told you that you can wear a swimsuit without a second thought? That you can stop worrying about what people are thinking about your body? That you can actually be present at meals instead of calculating the calories? That you are MORE than capable of loving yourself, ditching diets forever, implementing healthy habits, and being OBSESSED with your one and only life??
Because you are.
The Body Trust Collaborative is the program that will finally help you heal your relationship with food and your body for good. I created this holistic health & life coaching program because I see too many women trying to shrink themselves, trying to force their bodies to look a certain way using methods that not only don’t work, but are dangerous!
The truth is, you are more than a body. The diet industry doesn’t want you to know this, but loving your body doesn’t have anything to do with what it looks like. Learning to love yourself is a whole-life experience, and improving your body image is an inside job.
Even physical health is so much more than food and movement! Sleep, stress, hydration, hormones, genetics…there are SO many more things that go into cultivating deep health than how many hours of cardio you do, how many days your close your rings, or how many picture-perfect meals you eat.
This collaborative coaching experience will take you from feeling confused, worthless, and frustrated to feeling confident, powerful, and free AF! Through education, community, guest experts, and support from yours truly, you’ll be equipped with everything you need to live the abundant and fulfilling life you deserve.
It’s time for YOU to level up!
Do you put everyone else before yourself, leaving zero time for your own self care?
Do you struggle with low self-esteem and self-worth?
Do you find yourself emotionally eating, wishing you had more willpower?
Do you feel confused about what, when, and how much you should be eating?
Have you tried every diet under the sun, only to fail every time and gain even more weight than you lost in the first place?
Do you feel like you’d be able to make sustainable changes if you had support and accountability?
Do you wish there were a more holistic, grounded, supportive method for achieving your health goals than the bullshit on the internet?
Are you invested in creating lasting results so that none of this stuff ever frustrates you again?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, you have found what you’ve been looking for. Keep reading!
Hi, beautiful! I’m Lara.
I created The Body Trust Collaborative because it’s the program that I wish I’d had much earlier in my health & personal development journey.
✧ I was a “yes woman” who didn’t set boundaries out of fear of hurting others’ feelings or making them upset.
✧ I was so exhausted that I was falling asleep at stoplights.
✧ I was prediabetic and had gut issues that I didn’t know how to heal.
✧ I felt super fucking guilty taking days off from the gym.
✧ I spent YEARS running myself into the ground, putting everything and everyone before my own health and wellbeing.
But once I got to the other side, I knew I had to create something to help all the women who feel the way I used to feel.
Now, I get to guide you to experience the joy, ease, and peace that I never knew was possible for me.
✨Now, I set and enforce loving boundaries.
✨I prioritize sleep. (Literally...it is a NON-NEGOTIABLE!)
✨I fuel my body with foods that nourish my physical body AND my soul.
✨I am SO present with my people because I’m not distracted by food & my body.
✨I know that I don’t have to earn my worth, because it simply comes from the fact that I AM THE ONLY ME.
✨I take a many rest days as I need without ever feeling guilty.
✨I put myself first, so that I have the capacity to powerfully serve others.
And speaking of serving others…
I also realized that my purpose on this earth is to help other women achieve the balance, confidence, and self-love that I have.
I know that YOUR purpose is not to spend your life trying to shrink your one and only body.
I’m not a regular coach…I’m a cool coach!
Ok all jokes aside, here’s what makes working with me different:
I say “fuck” a lot.
I have a background in education, music, and pedagogy and utilize this knowledge in my coaching.
I take a HAES (health at every size) approach to my coaching and know that we can’t tell someone’s health just by looking at them.
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach and always meet my clients where they are.
I care deeply about social justice, racial equity, and accessibility and I donate accordingly.
I have multiple certifications in nutrition, Intuitive Eating, movement, and education, and am continuously investing in becoming a better coach.
I genuinely love the shit out of my clients. Like, they’re just so cool!!
Imagine, 16 weeks from now:
You have a joyful relationship with food and your body.
You understand what food actually is and does for you.
You’ve ditched your all-or-nothing mindset.
You’re sleeping better and waking up feeling energized.
You know who you are and show up unapologetically.
You know you NEVER have to do some bullshit fad diet again.
You trust yourself to make the best choices for you and your life.
You feel empowered and confident.
You love yourself, completely, just the way you are.
What would you gain? How would your relationships change? How would your life change?
“Losing weight doesn’t seem important now. I still have enjoyed the physical progress, but I see my true why more clearly. I see myself as a different person - I am a strong, healthy woman - and that mindset shift has made all the difference.” — Amy
Our time together covers…
Mindset & Self-Concept
Master the most important aspect of this journey — your mindset. Dig deep into your past conditioning, uncover your mental and emotional blocks, and break through your limiting beliefs so that you can fully step into a new, adaptable, empowered version of you.
Nutrition & Intuitive Eating
Cultivate your interoceptive awareness, build trust with your body, and understand her cues to ensure that you’re honoring her needs. Learn to approach food objectively rather than emotionally so that you can break free from diet culture forever.
Stress & Nervous System Regulation
Learn why stress, anxiety, and a disregulated nervous system are major blocks in our health and our lives, and develop healthy coping mechanisms so that you no longer turn to food, alcohol, or the gym as your only means of stress relief or emotional regulation.
Habits &
Consistency
Habits are paramount when changing our lives. It’s the small, daily actions that add up to huge, sustainable results. This habit-based approach will teach you the consistency you never thought you could develop so that you finally see the lasting changes you deserve.
Boundaries & Environment
You’ll learn how to create an environment that supports your dream life by communicating bravely and clearly, planning ahead, taking up space, and setting boundaries with the important people in our lives.
Sleep, Hydration, & Movement
These foundational habits are often the first to get pushed to the backburner when shit hits the fan. You will master how to consistently prioritize your basic needs so that you can be your best self for you and your people.

“I've learned and actually absorbed knowledge about nutrition. I've put some healthy habits into place that are sticking. I feel proud of my ability to change. I have less anxiety about food because I am more knowledgeable and see it less as an enemy.” - Kate C.
“I feel like I am closer to food freedom now than ever before. I finally understand how nutrition plays a part in my overall wellness goal and the answer is not saving my carbs for alcohol or cutting out all carbs and fats to the point of obsessing/bingeing. While I still struggle sometimes with having no set rules (diet culture programming is hard to unlearn) you can’t have freedom and rules, and I’m learning freedom feels better.” - Shannon M.
“Prior to signing up, I felt as if I were a shell of a person. I lacked confidence, I literally felt stuck in every way. After going through this program, I feel both mentally and physically strong. My confidence is through the roof! I’ve learned to set boundaries without feeling like I’m letting someone down. This program is honestly AMAZING!” - Denise J.
“When negative thoughts creep in about various things, instead of letting them take over, I ask myself why I'm feeling that way. I give myself grace and allow myself to sit with those feelings to acknowledge they are valid with the understanding they are a feeling and not necessarily facts so I can move on from them. Overall I feel happier. I legit used to feel like a little sad moody cloud followed me everywhere. I still have times where I feel "magenta" as a good friend of mine would say but the sadness has less of a presence these days.” - Beth C.
“I would never take time out for myself and this program made me do that. I was lost, a little hopeless, and stressed the fuck out! happier. But now, even when I have these feelings, because they will happen, I can manage them a lot better and know when extra boundaries are necessary.” - Ashley S.
"The trust I have with my body now is something I have never experienced before. And I feel so much more in touch with my intuition! Being able to listen to my body, honor her needs and wants regarding food and movement and even in my person life, I feel just so much more in tune with myself. I've learned to stop questioning my body when she gives me cues - instead I have learned to get more curious about what the cue means OR I just respond quickly if I am clear on what my body is asking for! I used to doubt and question and feel ashamed of my body for being hungry, for getting light headed during workouts, even for being thirsty! Honestly any reminder that my body was existing and functioning in the world, my brain had a problem with it before NEP. I genuinely feel so much more connected to life because of this program." - Chloe H.
FAQ

Nope! Here’s the deal - my goal is not to change your body. My goal is to help you feel healthier, happier, and more confident. Often, when clients begin to tune into what their body needs, they do end up changing their body composition. But, that is not the intent of the program; it is a byproduct of doing the inner work and building habits that are beneficial to our lives! Will you be healthier and understand your body better after this program? Yes! Will that enable you to reach goals you have around your body? Probably. But shrinking is NOT the point of having a healthy relationship with food and movement. :)

This is all 100% dependent on what you put into this program. Just like with anything, you’ll get what you give! But, my hope is that, at the end of these 16 weeks, you have the following:
The knowledge you need to make the empowered choices that are best for you and your life.
A happier, healthier relationship with food and with your body
More confidence, self-awareness, and self-trust
The ability to prioritize yourself and set boundaries with the people you love
Freedom from anxiety and fear around food.
