THE Simply Divalicious STORY

Simply Divalicious came into existence quite organically when I personally needed more exciting meals and snacks in my life while competing in fitness. Back then, I was on a diet consisting primarily of chicken and rice, and a few other restricted, bland, and carefully calculated meals. While I was getting the nutrients my body required, my meals were painfully lacking in the flavor department. I realized I was no longer enjoying my food.

So, I started experimenting with flavors and variety, making sure to stay within “healthy” parameters. I became a sort of mad scientist in the kitchen, making it my mission to create meals out of the foods I loved, just lighter and without the added calories. I didn’t want to feel restricted in my choices, so I worked diligently to find the workarounds. As I slowly turned my comfort food into my daily food, mealtimes became enjoyable again.

“It's not just about the workouts. Laura shares delicious and nutritious 'Divalicious' recipes that make healthy eating a joy, not a chore.”

Before I knew it, my training clients noticed my renewed relationship with food and started asking me questions. They, too, were feeling stuck, bored, and restricted by their meals. I started re-creating recipes for them, making their favorite meals healthier and lighter, but still satisfying and full of flavor. Not long after, they were asking me to cook for them!

In my desire to share what I had learned, I decided to host my first cooking class in my friend’s kitchen. Little did I know this would be the official unofficial start of Simply Divalicious. The feedback was clear: there was a hunger for food that was both nourishing and delectable, and I was more than ready to serve it up!

It’s truly remarkable how a small gathering of training clients, learning how to make a few simple meals, transformed into such an integral part of my career. Simply Divalicious offered a truly refreshing approach to nutrition—intimate cooking classes in a welcoming environment featuring meals and snacks inspired by my countless Simply Divalicious recipes. Seventy-five cooking classes and numerous nutrition certifications later, I continue to pour my heart and soul into learning how to guide my clients toward lasting wellness.
