HI, I’M LAUREN LACEY.

Welcome….I’ve been a chronic exerciser and competitive marathon runner who had a two-decade-long struggle with food + body. Now I help people all around the world overcome exercise addiction and have a joyful and effortless relationship with movement and food. I also work with Athletes to manage performance pressures and mental health concerns.

Perhaps you struggle with body acceptance. Want freedom from compulsive exercise? Or maybe it’s time to ditch the fitness tracker and be your healthiest self. The way we move, think, and eat can reveal a lot about ourselves. I will help you to look deep within. To notice and make adjustments that align with the best expression of yourself.

I have recovered from exercise addiction, and disordered beliefs around food, and as a competitive marathon runner battled with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). Having completed a Master’s in Psychotherapy, a Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, Naturopathy, and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology I discovered a profound gap between the kinds of daily struggles people experience around food and their body. Through my marathon training, I recognized that understanding the psychology of eating is key to helping people create a nourishing, supportive relationship with food and their body.

I offer private face-to-face and online programs that teach tangible tools + techniques to achieve an effortless relationship with food. I will teach you how to retrain your brain and navigate this struggle.

When we heal ourselves we heal the world…

When we have resistance in our being through harboring resentments, perfectionism, rigid thinking, limiting self-beliefs, and not loving ourselves unconditionally, we block the ability to be our best selves.

Free your body is about encompassing nutrition and psychotherapy to release limitations and remove blocks from all aspects of our being. This helps us to fully feel, remember and embrace the truth of who we are.

Find safety, freedom and love the body you are born with.

When we resonate with this, on a deep cellular level, we become unstoppable and are able to reach our fullest potential. True body acceptance empowers us to live a rich, joyful, fulfilling and abundant life.
