Leanne Rowbottom is an ADHD Food Freedom Coach with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and over 20 years of experience in healing and behaviour change. She helps ADHD and high-functioning women stop binge and emotional eating — without dieting or willpower — through ADHD-informed support, nervous system regulation, gentle nutrition, and structured healing methods that break binge habits at the root, end all-or-nothing cycles, and rebuild self-worth.
After battling an eating disorder in her twenties, Leanne completed a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food Science and went into private practice. Working closely with clients, she soon saw how restrictive diet plans did not address the deeper drivers of binge and emotional eating.
Over the years, she expanded her qualifications to include mindfulness meditation teaching, trauma-informed energy healing, nervous system regulation, Applied Neuroscience and Brain Health, and is currently completing her ADHD Coach certification.
Only later in life — diagnosed with ADHD at 46 — Leanne recognised how executive function challenges, emotional dysregulation, low dopamine and undiagnosed neurodivergence had shaped both her own eating patterns and those of many women she supported.
She has since developed a holistic, ADHD-informed method that integrates brain-based understanding, structured habit change, nervous system regulation, and deep inner healing to help women break free from binge and emotional eating at the root.
Through lived experience and years of practice, she understands that self-worth directly influences how we care for our bodies. Real, sustainable change begins not with control — but with shifting shame and rebuilding emotional safety, inner worth, self-trust, and compassion within.
“I care deeply about helping women feel calm, safe and worthy within themselves — instead of constantly at war with food and their bodies.
From lived experience, I know that having good nutritional knowledge or simply ‘knowing’ what to eat isn’t enough. Binge and emotional eating, even boredom eating and impulsive snacking, are rarely about food alone. They’re rooted in stress, shame, perfectionism, low dopamine levels, suppressed emotions, nervous system overwhelm, years of holding together, and trying to cope the only way you knew how.
My work goes beyond surface-level advice. Together, we address the deeper layers — emotional coping patterns, self-judgement, and the automatic survival responses that keep you stuck in all-or-nothing cycles.
This is not about controlling your body, having more willpower or finding the perfect food plan. It’s about rebuilding self-trust, restoring inner steadiness, and creating a relationship with food that feels calm, consistent, and sustainable.
You deserve to feel regulated, grounded, and confident in yourself — without dieting, punishment, or extremes.
