Invercargill Functional Nutritionist

I became a client of Laura’s and am so glad I did as I wake up feeling much more energised, my sleep has improved (previously I struggled to wake and felt like a zombie) and even my nails are much stronger.  In the past I had perused the chemist shop wondering what I could take to make me feel better and settling on something that sounded good but never really got on top of my problems. It was like a band-aid!!Initially she had me complete a thorough health questionnaire. This was followed up with testing of my body to enable her to get the full picture, to see what was not working properly or lacking I my body.  Following this she was able to recommend supplements & nutrients to correct the deficiencies.  The oils are an additional support for day to day needs and ridding our home of all the nasties that have been put into products over the years. Laura knows her stuff is passionate about helping people with their health

Thank you Laura for all of your encouragement in helping me to look at my eating habits. It has been an amazing lifestyle change, since being in ICU in February to now completely having changed my diet, making healthy nutrionial choices. A couple of the biggest changes on my symptom graph, within only a couple of months, were the reduction in sugar cravings and my kidney and bladder function. (A bonus on the side has been losing 10 kilos without even trying). We are still currently working on sorting a couple of minor health issues now and I value your suggestions and patience. I am truely grateful for your advice, encouragement and professionalism and wish you all the best in your venture as a qualified nutritionist.

When I first decided that I wanted to take a more natural approach to my condition (IBD) I was very lost and had no clue where to start. I got in contact with Laura and she has been extremely helpful in identifying trigger foods through the use of the app Nutri-Q. I was also struggling on keeping a rigid schedule but Laura provided me with a regiment to stick to and results have been awesome! I am currently on no pills and my stools are formed, that's miles from what it was during a flare up.

I highly recommend Laura. I had approached Laura regarding my health, as I stated to her “I felt like a blind man in a cupboard”. I knew there was something not quite right but could not put my finger on it. I was not sleeping all that well, I was always tired, lacking in energy, had absolutely no motivation whatsoever, life was a chore. Got to the point where I had my first panic attack (something I would not recommend for anyone). I eventually convinced my husband to join me in this health journey, as he has his own health issues and recovering from Chemo and Radiation after cancer treatments robbed his body of all minerals and healthy bacteria etc. We cut out dairy, and gluten, I considered our diet to be relatively healthy, we had takeaways once every couple of months or more. So, following Laura’s advice we both did a stool test (you need a sense of humour for that one) and waited patiently and nervously for the test results, I was quite shocked at what was discovered lurking in our gut. So, 6 weeks down the road we have lost weight (woohoo), we have more energy, I personally sleep more than 8 hours every night, my husband doesn't snore anymore (YES!!), … If you are wanting to invest in your health, then do it. You will not regret it. Just be prepared for the work involved. Not recommended if you think it is going to be a quick fix.

Laura has helped me tremendously through my gut issues and thanks to her I’ve got my life back from an illness that was controlling me. She offered me far more than doctors ever have. She helped me with some testing which lead to temporary supplementation and diet. And most importantly she was always there cheering me on and offering me support. Thank you again so much for helping me ❤️❤️

Laura is so passionate about what she does, Laura wants to see you in the best health, She offers a more holistic approach for you to support and nourish your body and offers permanent fixes by getting to the root of your health issues to get your body working as best as possible so no bandaid fixes from her. Laura is so supportive and makes your journey to healing and health so achievable 💕

I found Laura very professional and very pedantic in catering to what's best for you. She has a lot of empathy and makes you feel at ease straight away. I recommend her highly. Thank you Laura for helping me be the healthiest I can be at age 60 and how amazed my doctor is that I don't need any pharmaceutical drugs.

My wife, Rosemary and I, have been working with Laura for a year. Right from the start, we have found her to be professional in all that she does. She is very empathetic, caring, supportive, encouraging and listens to everything you say. She has a raft of questionnaires and assessment tools to gain quite accurate information. She is very thorough in gaining detailed information about all aspects of health eg. gut, hormones, major organs etc. and then able to make suggestions regarding food and supplements to support good health. For example, my wife has had breathing difficulties for a number of years and just by suggesting that she cuts out dairy, she has seen a huge improvement in this area. We have both seen good improvement in our gut health by making some changes to our diet, drinking lots of water and taking specific supplements that supports our gut health.

I am so amazed with the results that I’ve been getting since I’ve been seeing Laura. She very quickly identified the missing link to my health concerns and since I’ve implemented her recommendations I have seen some dramatic changes in a very short amount of time. I couldn’t be more pleased.

I would like to thank Laura for pointing me in the right direction to loose 12kg. I feel so much better and more confident. She has been so supportive and caring and has helped me so much. I am a different person now.

There is a wealth of health information available to us today and it is good to read, listen, and learn, but I have found that it can also be very frustrating trying to implement what you learn without any support. Three months ago Laura was recommended to me. She takes all the guess work out of addressing health issues. She is a qualified professional in her field who listens with empathy and has the genuine, sincere aim of working with you, to move towards a healthy you. This is not a quick fix, but already, after just 3 months, I am seeing great progress towards being the healthiest I can be. I only have praise for Laura and I unreservedly recommend you get in touch with her.
