Naturopathic Nutrition

Naturopathic nutrition seeks to uncover and support the root cause of discomfort, rather than just treating the symptoms. Many people find that improving their diet not only supports one symptom but can often lead to other health benefits, such as, increased energy levels, relief from anxiety and improvements to skin.

I have a particular interest in the mind-gut connection and recognise that if there is concern in one area it invariably leads to bother elsewhere.  

Naturopathic nutrition aims to restore our vitality through changes to diet, rectifying deficiencies and cleansing techniques. It also works with the whole person recommending lifestyle changes and emotional support.

I work holistically by integrating natural therapies, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as the other disciplines I practice. I am also a keen cook favouring local and seasonal eating. I love sharing my recipes.

I use muscle response testing and offer access to private lab tests. Tests available include adrenal cortisol & DHEA profiling and thyroid testing through Genova Diagnostics, hair mineral analysis through Analytical Research Labs and stool analysis through Biological Testing Services.

I do not diagnose or treat.

"I sought help from Laura for menopausal hot flushes that I was experiencing at night. Having gained some improvement from using Hypnotherapy and NLP but not completely resolving it, I wanted to see if there was another way of managing this natural cycle in life. Laura asked me loads of questions about me and my history and quickly recommended several supportive measures which included seed rotation for the hot flushes. This made perfect sense to me, it is well known that hormones fluctuate during this phase and I was astounded by the rapid change I experienced, after only a few days the hot flushes disappeared. I've been seed rotating for about 2 months and have been singing its praises to all my friends who are in a similar position to me. No chemicals, no nasties, just nature".
