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, stool analysis through Biological Testing Services and the SIBO Doctor breath test. I also offer DNA testing through My DNA Health and Lifecode GX.

I do not diagnose or treat.

My initial naturopathic review includes:

Completing a detailed naturopathic questionnaire going back two generations, detailed case history from birth and answering questions on every system of the body. Also, the completion of a food diary.

In advance I spend up to 2-hours reviewing all the information and draft your protocol

I spend an hour discussing with you what I suspect. I do not diagnose but the presenting symptoms give a very good indication of areas that need support.

Within 48-hours I finalise your protocol and email you a basket of recommended supplements from the Natural Dispensary or a link from Lily & Loaf. You receive my practitioner discount of either 10% or 15%. As much as possible I try to eliminate deficiencies through food not supplements.

Typical protocols last 8-weeks. It is recommended you have a follow up 6-8 weeks later to track progress and for me to adjust your protocol if necessary.

My premium naturopathic nutrition review combines the initial review with a Systematic Kinesiology® wheel balance (MOT for the mind and body). This provides additional insight on top of the naturopathic questionnaire I ask my clients to complete.  I also check for nutrient deficiencies and food sensitivities. It may include emotional release work. A follow up appointment takes place 6-8 weeks after or if relevant a specific balance before.  

If you would like ongoing message support via the Practice Better app after the first two-weeks of your protocol being set the cost is £45.00 per week (Monday to Friday 10:00 to 16:00). Please advise at time of booking. 

Other packages are also available.

"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".
