Laura began competing from the early age of 10, and became a member of the British Judo Team by the time she was 13 years old, competing in numerous competitions both nationally and internationally for 10 years.
Laura’s career then lead her into the world of body building in the Miss Figure and Miss Fitness categories, competing internationally until the age of 38.
Laura’s ongoing interest in fitness and nutrition has been the driving force behind her decision to use her combined knowledge to help others achieve their fitness goals and ambitions.
Her background has enabled her to combine her extensive nutrition expertise with her knowledge of international sport to produce a unique service to assist people from all walks of life and all levels of fitness to improve their awareness of the importance of good nutrition to aide good health, fitness and general wellbeing.
One memorable comment was that ‘Laura has the body of a 20 year old …’ at that time Laura was 38. Now Laura is 50 and feeling better than ever!

The Results
Whilst the majority of Laura’s clientele are able-bodied Laura takes a special interest in helping the small percentage of her clients that have been referred to her by medical staff after illness or surgery and she takes considerable pleasure in helping them to return to mobility and health.
All of Laura’s clients achieve good results, some are happy to lose a few inches and improve their body shape. One client wanted to lose 10 stone in weight, so that he could fulfill his goal of returning to the rugby field, he now leads a happier healthier life.
Another client suffers severely with arthritis and had very limited arm movements and she could not do simple tasks such as kneeling down. After just 12 weeks on her healthy eating and exercise plan she is now able to do things that she hadn’t been able to do for years such as put her hair up in a clip and kneel down, something that most of us take for granted. Her posture is now greatly improved and she leads a much fitter, happier, healthier life.
Sporting Professionals
By following their individually tailored healthy eating and exercise plan, all of Laura’s professional athletes found that their performance was enhanced in a matter of days by becoming fitter, faster, stronger, improved mentally alertness with quicker recovery from workout and games.
