About

Hi, I’m Laura

I’m a degree qualified Naturopath, advanced bioresonance practitioner, advanced EFT practitioner, herbalist, healer, mother and artist. 

I am an intuitive and caring practitioner; slightly cacao obsessed, environmental and medicinal plant enthusiast. I consider it a privilege and an honour to be part of your healing journey and watch you blossom and grow.

My own experience with several long-term, chronic and complex illnesses and diagnoses, spanning over many years, led me to seek out answers for a better quality of life, for myself, my family and friends. As I gained knowledge and experience (I did a lot of reading!) I wanted to be able to use this knowledge and the experiences I had been through to assist others who were suffering. I ultimately found myself studying frequencies, bioresonance and naturopathic medicine.

I specifically work with people experiencing environmental illnesses such as chemical sensitivities, CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) from mould exposure and stealth pathogens (lyme or lyme-like disease and coinfections), PANDAS/PANS and limbic system, neurological, gastrointestinal, endocrine and hormonal disruption, due to extensive personal and professional experience in these areas.

I am passionate about helping clients with complex cases, including trauma and sensitivities; and assisting them in the removal of energetic, emotional and physical blockages towards their health and well being. I enjoy working with adults and children and have experience working with all ages, my favourite question from children is “what's your favourite animal?”. 

When not working I can usually be found reading, researching, practicing self care like forest bathing, bushwalking and spending time with my family and friends. Some of my favourite herbalists are Stephen Harrod Buhner, Phyllis Light and Matthew Wood. I have a special place in my heart for the words and guidance of Mr Buhner’s books which were transformational during my own intensive healing journey.

My Mission

To assist those who are feeling lost and overwhelmed in the navigation of their health journey.

I serve the wider community of environmental and CIRS clients, individuals who feel they are out of alignment spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally.
