Her practice is Life Coaching and Holisitic Wellness Consulting/Coaching.  She partners with a Naturopathic Physician to offer labs, and consultations.  Laura became chronically ill after the birth of her son and for three years tried every solution that conventional medicine had to offer.  After countless scans, lab tests, specialists, and medications, she was told her symptoms were all in her head and she should be on psychiatric medications the rest of her life.  It was at this moment that she realized if she wanted to become well she would have to find her own path to wellness.  She found a Naturopathic Doctor and in 16 weeks was off 9 meds, and almost symptom free.  As she learned about physiology and root cause medicine, she began to see how conventional medicine had unintended consequences, and that Natural Paths offered a better health outcome.  Laura’s youngest daughter Addelyn suffered an injury from a vaccines and through genetic testing and a deeper understanding of the human body she is now recovered and thriving.  Laura believes that the body want’s to heal, it knows how to heal, and that there are many paths to wellness.  She believes that we are all unique and that here is no one protocol that fits. Laura loves empowering her clients to take control of their own health and to use conventional medicine when indicated.  She is an advocate for medical freedom and vaccine safety as well.
