Lara strives to support her clients in achieving optimal health and well-being as well as becoming the best versions of themselves. Through personalised consultations and comprehensive assessments, she educates her clients on the importance of healthy lifestyle habits as well as supplementing their diets with nutrients and herbs that may be depleted by lifestyle, stress, genetic dispositions, and medications. Her approach is rooted in the belief that true healing involves addressing the root causes of illness and restoring the body's natural equilibrium while aiming for lasting improvements rather than fostering dependency on ongoing treatments. Her dedication to bridging the gap between conventional medicine and holistic healing reflects her conviction that a comprehensive approach is essential for promoting lasting health and vitality. Part of Lara's approach is to replace any nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that necessary medications can deplete from the body. With this perspective, both pharmaceutical and naturopathic medications can work together when necessary.

I love helping people to achieve their very best life filled with health and happiness What drives me every day is to help people understand their bodies and to empower them to make the changes needed for optimal health – I’m wholly motivated to continually learn and understand the complexities of what makes us work. As a practitioner I come from a place of deep curiosity and empathy. My health journey has not always been smooth sailing, I have suffered with debilitating gut issues, allergies, thyroid and other hormone problems, deep fatigue and the subsequent brain affects of anxiety, low mood and brain fog. Intuitively I always knew that to get to the core of my issues I would have to take a deep dive into health. I knew that allopathic medicine was great at treating symptoms but not really getting to the root cause, hence I began my journey into nutritional medicine.

I am a mum of three and a passionate functional nutrition consultant and Certified GAPS Practitioner. I'm dedicated to helping others achieve their health goals by addressing the root cause of imbalances, conditions and any other aspect they want to improve. I combine evidence-based but also anecdotal cases using traditional and holistic practices to support wellness and help individuals reclaim their health. I love to simply help people make better choices for themselves and their family but also felt that studying GAPS would elevate my knowledge so I could educate and empower people to go that bit further to heal their gut which in turn, takes care of the plethora of conditions people are faced with amidst today's environmental and lifestyle challenges. I have a huge interest in traditional cooking, I love fermenting and embrace the slower style of food prep but understand the pressures of raising a family and bringing nutrient rich food to the table. Personally, I have implemented GAPS and am blown away by what small changes can be made when you integrate healing foods and the "knock on" effect with other issues, I want to educate others because I believe any condition can be improved.
