Ready to rewrite your relationship with food?
75% of high-achieving professionals have a complicated relationship with food.
If you’re here, I’m guessing you might be one of them.
Endless diets, counting calories, healthy eating plans, cleanses and detoxes at one end, bingeing, emotional eating, overeating and feeling wildly out of control around food at the other end.
These are the symptoms of a generation who’ve been brought up to stress about their food choices and how they look in the mirror.
You’re a smart, high achiever and my guess is that you’ve been really successful in your career, relationships… so why do you feel so out of control when it comes to what you eat and how you look?
If you are frustrated with the struggle and ready to make a change, then you’re in the right place.

Hey there! I'm Dr Lara Zibarras, the food freedom psychologist and an eating disorder recovery coach.
My journey with disordered eating and struggle with negative body image led me to specialise in helping high achievers - like you - break free from the chaos of their relationship with food.
I understand first-hand how this struggle impacts so much more than just eating - it affects relationships, work and career, stopping you from fully showing up in life.
My mission is to help you go from a place of chaos and feeling out of control, to feeling totally in charge and confident around food.

You’ll learn how to take charge of your eating habits, to break free from bingeing, emotional eating, overeating, and purging. You’ll feel peace and calm around food, learning how to eat for energy and vitality to confidently thrive in all areas of life.
Here’s what people have to say about working with Dr. Lara…
“Lara was an incredible support as I finally accepted my lifelong struggle with body dysmorphia and decided to seek professional help. Through in-depth self work, 1:1 sessions that strike a balance of empathy and being challenged to change my way of thinking, Lara was able to help me navigate a really complex issue. One of the best things about her program is that it provides a generous amount of resources through the online learning platform, as well as flexibility to work with her long-term in ad hoc sessions outside of the set program. She’s not only completely accepting of each person as a whole, but also approaches her work with honesty and vulnerability, frequently sharing her personal struggles which makes it really easy to form trust and an authentic bond”
“Working with Lara has been so transformational - it was exactly what I needed to truly achieve food freedom and body acceptance. Releasing body shame has been so powerful and life changing for me as it’s really helped with my body acceptance, body image and loving myself.”
“Dr Lara... created a safe, judgement free space in which I could explore and question my thought patterns... This allowed me to untangle myself from a lot of toxic belief patterns that I was carrying without even realising it. I would highly recommend working with Dr Lara to anyone looking to develop food freedom and a healthy relationship with their body.”
“Working with Lara was great! I became aware of a lot of thoughts and behaviours around food and my body which I’d been previously unaware of. I gained skills which could help me improve my relationship with food and myself; a toolkit I’ve been able to take away with me into the future. The regular exercises/activities she set as homework especially helped me stay consistent during my recovery and I really appreciated that her approach was tailored to my needs based on the feedback I gave”
“I have been a serial unsuccessful dieter for at least 20 years so started with lots of bad habits and negative self talk. I have loved working on the mindset and changing my habits. I love that the theory is backed up by research and evidence... started to see results in the sense of less cravings”
“I cannot recommend Lara’s course and working with Lara enough. She has so much expertise and her approach is refreshing and impactful. I got lasting insights and transformations. She is also just a pleasure to work with!”
