A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lauren.

My journey into natural medicine began with a simple fascination with plants and the ways they have been used to support health throughout history.

Born in London to Ecuadorian parents, I grew up with a curiosity about Ecuador's rich relationship with nature and the traditional knowledge of Indigenous communities, particularly their deep understanding of plants and their uses as medicine.

That curiosity eventually led me to study at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I trained in naturopathic herbal medicine and iridology. My studies have allowed me to explore both the traditional wisdom of herbal medicine and modern scientific research surrounding plants and health.

I believe that health begins by reconnecting with ourselves and the natural world around us. Nature provides both inspiration and practical tools for supporting balance, vitality and resilience. By looking at the whole person, I aim to create personalised care that supports each individual's unique needs.

Rather than searching for quick fixes, I believe in small, sustainable changes and in empowering people with the knowledge and confidence to take an active role in their own wellbeing. My role is to listen, guide and support—creating a space where people can slow down, reconnect and discover what wellbeing means for them.

My Philosophy

Listen, Guide and Support

My role is not to tell people how to live, but to give them the knowledge, tools and support to make informed choices for themselves.

I believe nature provides both the tools and the inspiration for restoring balance and supporting wellbeing.

What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal medicine is the study and practice of the medicinal and therapeutic use of plants. For centuries, traditional cultures around the world have worked with plants as part of their approach to health. I draw upon the rich traditions of Western Herbal Medicine, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, alongside modern scientific understanding, to create personalised herbal formulas based on your individual needs.

Herbs can be prescribed in a variety of forms, depending on your preferences and what is most appropriate for you. These may include tinctures — concentrated liquid extracts of herbs using alcohol and water — as well as herbal teas, powders and other preparations. Every blend is designed to nourish compromised organs and balance physiological systems.

What is Iridology?

Iridology is a non-invasive practice that involves observing the colour, patterns and structure of the iris. It offers a unique perspective on your individual constitution and provides insights into areas of strength and areas that may benefit from additional support.

Rather than diagnosing illness, iridology is used as one part of a wider holistic assessment, considered alongside your health history, symptoms, lifestyle and overall wellbeing. It can help guide personalised wellness recommendations and encourage a deeper understanding of your body's individual needs.

What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to wellbeing that looks at the whole person rather than focusing on individual symptoms in isolation. It considers the many factors that can influence how we feel, including nutrition, lifestyle, sleep, stress, environment and our individual health history.

I use naturopathic principles to understand your unique health picture and identify practical ways to support your wellbeing. At the heart of naturopathy is the belief that the body has an innate capacity to move towards balance when given the right support. My role is to listen, guide and empower you with the knowledge and tools to make sustainable changes and take an active role in your own wellbeing.
