Working with Lara changed my life . Having been to countless specialists , spent thousands of pounds and gaining nothing but frustration and hopelessness , finding a Lara was truly a gift . I felt heard and following our first consultation , I knew that she had a wealth of knowledge and a spirit of tenacity that filled me with hope . I was right . Lara is warm, funny and intuitive . She fiercely believes in what she does and has the most up to date knowledge constantly. We saw results and more than anything she empowered me to foster change for myself . I would recommend her to anyone seeking change . It’s a journey but she is there to encourage and reassure you along the way . She’s an earth angel!

I came to see Lara when it became clear that the NHS couldn’t help me with with my myriad gut, auto-immune and female health-related issues. Lara showed me how all of those issues were linked (something I’d never been told or even considered before) and how I could overcome them with specific tailored dietary and lifestyle choices - and without medication. I’ve been following her advice for around 2 years now and can honestly say that it has changed my life - I am essentially cured. Lara isn’t only an incredibly knowledgeable professional but also an extremely warm and vital human being who genuinely cares about all of her clients and helps you to be curious and patient with your body rather than resentful towards it.

I turn to Lara for addressing my own health concerns, and more recently also my daughters, and she has been so vital in helping to navigate what can be a confusing terrain of differing opinions and advice in health and wellness realms. Lara is thoughtful, thorough, and reliable. She digs into the research and explains her recommendations so thoroughly, breaking down the science where applicable. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I cannot recommend Lara more highly. I came to her after 20 years of failed dieting & fighting against my body. I wanted another quick fix, a do X and you get Y results. What I got instead was a patient, gentle journey to work with my body. The results are incredible, a whole new relationship with food. I achieved things I just never thought was possible because of my track record of harsh, restrictive diets and failure. Lara is a talented, understanding, intelligent practitioner - her skill is unrivalled.

Lara became a pivotal part of my health journey and really helped changed what was happening to me and the relationship I had with my rather battered body. For the first time in my adult life, my symptoms were heard and I was listened to. This proceeded years of specialists and over medication for illnesses I have since controlled holistically. I was devastatingly sick when I met lara. Strung out, burnt out and more than desperate. She turned the tables for me and helped set me on the functional root - which eventually has led to a diagnosis of MCAS (low histamine diet essential), and a toxicity to both oxalates and salicylates - notoriously difficult to treat and medicate (and completely impossible to even test for on the NHS), but entirely aggrevated by the wrong foods. Her support, knowledge and continued kindness gave me hope and light in a terrible struggle against my doctors and myself. It was with lara that I really started to break the pattern of hating my body for my sickness. That in itself has changed my life. I can't thank or recommend her enough. You may not find your root cause in a day, it's taken me years and I'm still finding new reactions, new poisons, but you can change your perception, which in turn can change your life.

Lara’s influence on my health journey thus far has been pivotal. Her gentle and (w)holistic approach to the mind, body and spirit has enriched and deepened my life. There is only immense gratitude. For three years prior, hormonal imbalances manifesting as PCOS and low thyroid function as well as chronic gut-health issues (IBS, SIBO) had been the framework of my well-being. I had sought support by medical professionals in the respected fields of psychology, general practice and gynecology but no one could piece the clues together; I spiralled into fear, fatigue, anxiety and depression. Lara’s nutritional, emotional and spiritual guidance truly lifted me from a place of complete disempowerment and overwhelm to a place where I could finally breathe easy into the still space that vibrant health creates. From an energetic perspective, I no longer experience bouts of unexplainable fatigue, brain fog and low moods. My digestion has stabilized into a strong rhythm, allowing me to thrive on a diverse diet. My period is also returning into a more frequent rhythm of its own” The depth of understanding she has of the intricate energy balances in the body is awe-inspiring and I have gained so much wisdom in the process.Profoundly, she changed the relationship I had with my body; I transitioned from being defined by syndromes and medical definitions to integrating these experiences into who I am. Instead of resenting what was going on, I learnt how to use it as a great teacher. She guided me in tuning in, listening closely to the language my body was speaking, and how to best create an internal and external environment for the body to heal. If you have been feeling unheard, confused and overwhelmed by your body I could not recommend Lara highly enough. She is a healing force, a deep listener and peaceful warrior and will guide you in how to tap into the immense wisdom your body holds.
