I\u2019m\u00a0 <\/span>Laura \u2013 a UK trained certified Nutritional Therapist, Health Coach, Weight loss adviser and Medical Doctor with over 30 years experience of working in the NHS. I also have a Science degree in Physiology. I am passionate about helping people understand how to achieve their optimum health. I have been challenged over the years professionally and personally by the way my own and clients\/ patients\u2019 thoughts and habits influence their ability to achieve and maintain great health. I have walked through situations and learnt keys to overcome and stay strong and healthy in body and mind. There\u2019s no better person to help you through a situation than one who has been through and overcome it themselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"I grew up eating home grown fresh organic food. We grew all manner of vegetables and fruit, and kept free range chickens in our garden. I am eternally grateful to my Mum for such a wonderful start in life. Thanks Mum!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, when I became a busy GP (Family Doctor) in my 30’s and had to leave home due to work, I became fully responsible for the preparation and content of my own meals. Things soon took a nutritional and health nose dive. My weight fluctuated unbelievably (watch the video below for evidence). Emotional eating was my way of coping with stress, hormones, rejection and heartache. I did not prioritise exercise. All the local Take away services knew my favourite items on their menu. I was alone without Mum, husband or children to create and provide balance or boundaries to my life. Being on the “frontline” meant that I was constantly exposed to disease, and my hectic lifestyle with no time to eat or rest properly took a toll on my health. I was well set on my way for life as a walking-talking-emotional-roller coaster-hormonal-adrenaline junkie!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Until one day, my Mum gave me something amazing! She gave me a book called “Back to Eden”. This started the journey of transformation in my mind and eventually my lifestyle and habits, to better health all round.<\/span><\/p>\n

My weight has been steady consistently for over 12 years (current weight 59 kg), and when the old weight gain trigger factors try to rear their unwanted heads, I have learnt how to love myself first, how to think, eat and live healthy, with a healthy mindset, a healthy outlook and a healthy response to the same triggers that used to defeat me in the past. I am fitter, more agile, more flexible than when I was 20 years younger!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

It would give me no greater pleasure than to help you do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am here to help you<\/span>, \u00a0<\/span>Looking forward to connecting with you!<\/span><\/p>\n
