About Laura

Hi! I’m Laura, a mom of 2 girls raised in Lancaster, PA with a few stops along the way (Philly, Ithaca, Houston, NJ) and am now back in my hometown. I love helping women feel their best with a focus on cardiometabolic health (such as prediabetes or elevated cholesterol), sports nutrition, PCOS and weight management with a functional nutrition approach.

 

I completed a Master in Clinical Nutrition at Rutgers University and Master of Social Work from Temple University. I also attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I am a licensed dietitian in Pennsylvania. I began my private practice in 2013 and also worked in the clinical setting at Newark Beth Israel Hospital.

​

Through my holistic nutrition training and personal experience, I began to appreciate the concept of

bio-individuality. What works for one person will not necessarily work for the next. I learned what I need to eat to have more energy, eliminate the bloating and mental fogginess, and feel my best. In the last ten years, I have worked with hundreds of women through 1:1 coaching or small groups and would love to hear your story and see if coaching might be a good fit for you to move forward in whatever area you feel stuck.

​

We'll look at your family history, recent lab values, as well as typical nutrient intake and put together a plan specific to you and your goals.

​

I don't have a 'label' for the way I eat or coach others to eat- I believe in loading up on nutrient dense foods but also making room for foods that brings you joy.  It's about determining a balanced, sustainable way of eating that you can happily do for life.

​

Healthy should be a fun, delicious lifestyle, not a diet.

​

I also love to run and stay active and specialize in working with runners and endurance athletes, to fuel their bodies to perform and feel their best.  I am an RRCA certified running coach and work with athletes to improve their fitness and reach race goals.

​

Life can feel busy and overwhelming, but creating healthier habits is doable and always worthwhile.
