About Me

Empowering your journey to wellness, one unique step at a time.

From Stage to Wellness: My Journey Begins

I graduated in 1993 from Ryerson Theatre School with an Honours Diploma in Dance Performance. Unfortunately, my lifelong struggle with severe asthma, chronic digestive issues and depression left me unable to effectively pursue my dreams. This initiated my quest for healing and eventually that quest became a passion and a new career.

Embracing Nutrition: A New Path Unfolds

In 2002, I enrolled at The Institute of Holistic Nutrition where I studied the important role nutrition has in creating optimal health. I graduated with a First-Class Honour Diploma in Applied Holistic Nutrition (RNCP/ROHP) in 2004.

As I implemented into my own life what I had learned, my health began to change for the better. I now understood that my diet was the foundation of health, so I focused my attention to eating correctly and healing my gut. My health blossomed and I was hooked! I knew then that this was my true calling; I started my practice as a holistic nutritionist.

Discovering Homeopathy: Expanding My Healing Toolkit

Over the course of my studies, I had learned of a system of medicine called homeopathy. I was fascinated because it

was said to not only have the ability to affect one’s physical health, but also one’s emotional health.

So, in my never-ending quest for knowledge, I enrolled at The Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine (CCHM).

After completing the 3-year program, I graduated as valedictorian in 2009 (DSHM). In 2017 I completed the

post-graduate program at CCHM in Homeopathy and Clinical Mastery (FSHM).

I brought homeopathy to my clients and the results were wonderful! Now I had a gentle but effective way to assist my

clients on their healing path and one that was safe for children, pregnant women and those on medications.

Biotherapeutic Drainage: The Turning Point in Detoxification

As I continued my practice, it became obvious that the toxic burden my clients carried was itself the greatest 'obstacle

to cure’ I was facing. I realized that I had to find a way to properly support their detoxification capabilities so that they

could enjoy optimal health. I found it in a process called Biotherapeutic Drainage (BTD).

BTD is a system designed to support the emunctories (the organs that clear out toxins) to discharge these toxins and

allow the body to return to health.

In 2017 I received my Biotherapeutic Drainage Certification. I now incorporate Biotherapeutic Drainage regularly in

my practice; it has proven to be an essential modality for helping the body heal in our toxic world.

Live Well With Lara: My Commitment to Your Health

I created Live Well With Lara because using nutrition and holistic healing had a big impact on the quality of my life.
