Background
Laurel’s journey into nutrition started when she was a little girl. She always had an intuition that what we put into our body has a direct impact on how our body and mind will respond. After losing loved ones to chronic conditions and struggling with her own disordered eating, Laurel knew that her career path had to be embedded in health and wellness. She studied at UCLA, then discovered Naturopathic Medicine after college, which launched her into understanding nutrition, supplements, and herbs in order to heal and restore the body. Laurel knew she had unlocked something powerful that we aren’t educated about in America, and it became her mission to dive deeper into the philosophy that food is medicine and we as humans have the capacity to fully heal if we give our body and mind what it needs to do so. Laurel then moved to Portland, Oregon to attend the National University of Naturopathic Medicine to receive her Masters of Science in Nutrition. Upon graduating in 2015, Laurel took a job as a Nutritional Health Coach at a national grocery store chain where she was involved in one-on-one health coaching sessions, teaching cooking and nutrition education classes, as well as getting involved with her local community to educate them about the store’s health and wellness resources. After a few years, Laurel started her own nutrition consulting business to help individuals discover their unique biology and how to implement specific dietary and lifestyle protocols so that true healing could take place. Laurel currently resides in San Francisco, CA with her partner and best friend, Ben, and their goldendoodle girl, Stevie.

Approach
Laurel takes a holistic and whole food systems approach to help an individual realize their health potential under the philosophy that food is medicine. Laurel aims to thoroughly understand the biological complexities of her clients in her best effort to make a unique and individualistic plan catered to their specific health and wellness needs. Rather than focus on how her clients feel and look from the outside in, her goal with any client is to help them gain insight into how they feel from the inside out in order to truly recognize how food and lifestyle habits either help or hinder their health. Laurel takes an anti-diet approach, but understands how it can be used therapeutically for more severe food-related conditions. With any client, her primary goal is to educate them on the truth about nutrition and debunk any myths around diets that aren’t in line with true health. Alongside food, Laurel also draws focus to lifestyle habits and how her clients can optimize self-care as a means to elicit self-love and healing so that they regain a healthy relationship to themselves and their external world. At the end of the day, her wish for any client is to feel abundantly begolden in their personal health and wellness choices.
