Hi! I’m Laura
Integrative Nutritionist
For the last couple decades I have prioritized creating a lifestyle that embraces food as medicine. I LOVE growing my own food, herbs and merging process and practical arts to connect with as many healing arts as possible into my day to day life.
I was fortunate to study with several Sonoran and Appalachian schools of botanical medicine, preferring the ones that put my hands in the earth and on the plants. I desired a deeper understanding of the foundational sciences that explained how and why our human physiology responds to natural medicines and botanical teas. I dedicated two years to a rigorous program offered by Sonoran University of Health Sciences (formerly Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine) and obtained Masters of Science in Clinical Nutrition (MSCN), graduating with University Honors.
It was HARD and you might say that nutrition is to my practice as Lebowski’s rug was to his room… really tied it together. I then tackled clinical hours, passed the board exam and have qualified for the national credential of a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS).
Now, every improved health goal for clients is deeply rewarding, to feel the culmination of many years of dedicated hard work bring relief into the daily lives of others in a partnership that leaves clients empowered by their own choices. I welcome the opportunity to work with you, to share in your health journey!
What I Offer
Nutrition therapy
Let’s talk about your relationship with food. When you eat, what you eat, why you do or don’t eat, what you wish you could eat or what you wish other people wouldn’t. I’m here for it.
Botanical therapy consult
Often I will include supplementation or herbal tea remedies as part of your lifestyle recommendations. This can be primary or secondary to your consultation. Please let me know your preference!
Hormone testing
We are complex creatures with intricate systems constantly synthesizing, metabolizing, and prioritizing our physiological needs. Our hormones can often be the key to reestablishing balance.
Custom Meal Plans
It doesn’t have to be a major overhaul, but it can be. If this is your personality and you are revved up and ready for change, let’s do it!
Meal tracking
Most nutrition consultations offer a 24 hour recall of your diet, a 3 day food journal, or an option to record food as you go. This is included when you schedule your first discovery session.
Virtual Nutrition Counseling
Many of us need flexibility to fit all of our priorities into already full days. All of my sessions are available through phone and/or telehealth.
