HI, I'M LAURA LEA

A Holistic Chef and Breakup Coach...

A Holistic Chef and Breakup Coach...

After graduating from the University of Virginia, I discovered my passion for cooking and nutrition while living a fast-paced corporate life in New York. I handed it all over to enroll at the Natural Gourmet Institute and headed back to my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, to launch LLBalanced, a popular food website, where I provided readers with affordable, comforting and make-ahead family-friendly meals that are packed with nutrients and flavor.
I taught cooking classes and consulted with individuals, corporations, and restaurants while contributing articles and recipes for, among others, Mind Body Green, Nashville Lifestyles, Southern Living, Shape, and Greatist.com.
Fast forward to now, my business has taken on a new focus, where I help women relieve the psychological and physiological symptoms of heartache and divorce with food and exercises for mind and body. To create the resources I use with my clients decade of wellness knowledge and expertise with theories of grief, romantic rejection, insecure attachment and love addiction to create a revolutionary process for healing heartache, holistically.

All of my new offerings of this nature are backed by Vanessa McIntosh, PhD — a 2x award-winning Dr of Psycholinguistics and soon-to-be-published Hay House author certified in 5 different psychotherapeutic modalities. This work pairs perfectly with my third book, Recipes for an Aching Heart, launching in Summer 2023. My first 2 cookbooks (The Laura Lea Balanced Cookbook and Simply Laura Lea: Balanced Recipes for Everyday Living) are available for purchase on Amazon.



"Her food is designed to make you feel good. As we know, "healthy" food hasn't historically been thought of as the most delicious. But the level of deliciousness she achieves with food that is good for both your body and soul takes tremendous drive and skill. I find myself craving her food. A lot. Laura Lea's cooking is not simply for sustinence - it makes you feel something. It also directly reflects her sunny, nurturing, and enthusiastic personality. You can taste the love and passion she has for her craft."
