Tools and methodologies we might use - tailored to you
Addressing dietary needs, reviewing diet and implementing small sustainable changes to maximise nutrient intake whilst supporting positive gut and nervous system health
Where needed nutritional supplements will be prescribed to support nervous system and gut health. These can be in chewable and powder form where swallowing may be an issue.
Adaptogens and nervines selected to match age, meds, and temperament.
We find sleep often improves with the right dietary and supplement/herbal changes
Nervous system inflammation starts in the gut – so we will always start here.
Laura will muscle test for food and phytochemical intolerances. She can also treat these in a non-invasive way, resulting in improved gut and nervous system health. Kinesiology can also be implemented for calming the nervous system and settling reflexive behaviours and emotions.

Targeting testing to ensure you get the right treatment
Targeted testing can result in more effective treatment plans and therefore results
Laura generally likes to begin treatment with an Organic Acids Test. This gives us a very clear look at many aspects within the body including gut health, heavy metals, toxic accumulation, allergy, mitochondrial function, parasites and more. Testing correctly means the treatment can be targeted and effective. Other testing she may suggest of required include;
- Through your GP: Iron studies, B12/folate, vitamin D, thyroid, coeliac serology.
Functional: Stool microbiome/GI testing, SIBO where indicated, genetic SNP’s
In clinic muscle testing, OligoScan tissue mineral analysis.
We interpret results and only recommend tests that could meaningfully change treatment and outcomes.
