  • Confidence to take control
  • Peer connection and support
  • Shared decision making

Lisa – 4

Working with Lisa was such a positive experience. She was so professional and knowledgeable and helped me cut through all the dubious and outdated dietary information there is out there. I feel so grateful I came across Lisa and a fully plant based diet and definitely feel this had a huge impact on the outcome for us.

Lisa – 3

Under Lisa’s care I feel healthier than I ever have. I have so much more energy and my hormonal acne and headaches disappeared. I’m convinced Lisa’s dietary advice helped me throughout the gruelling IVF process and I felt balanced and well. Our first round of IVF worked and we now have a beautiful baby girl!

Laura – 4

Laura was very helpful and very kind, showing great interest and care. She is definitely very knowledgeable and she has that human touch that sometimes is missing in other healthcare specialists. I would recommend her to anybody, above all for her holistic approach to medicine always lined up and supported by the most recent scientific outcomes.

Lisa – 2

Lisa really helped me understand what a plant-based lifestyle is all about. Six weeks and I have noticed a huge difference – I feel really healthy. It’s great feeling so much better in myself.

Laura – 3

If you need a doctor who will listen attentively to your health concerns, explain clearly how you can make changes to improve your health, support you during this process and empower you to advocate for your own health with other health care professionals then Dr. Laura Freeman is for you.

Lisa – 1

Lisa had a complete grasp of my issues and positively and successfully put me firmly back on track! I can now go forward with a clear understanding of what I am aiming for in terms of my optimum health. I feel excited and rejuvenated.

Laura – 2

It gave me great confidence and comfort to know that someone as qualified, experienced, and lovely as Dr. Freeman was there when I needed her to help me along my journey of improving my wellbeing. She is unique but so approachable and relatable too.

Laura – 1

Dr. Laura Freeman is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the capacity of nutrition to effect positive life changing benefits. After my consultation, I took the decision to try manage my condition without disease modifying medicine, which so far has been working well, and I feel better and have more energy. I cannot thank her enough!

Individual Consultations

With a diagnosis, we understand you may be feeling overwhelmed. You are not alone. Some of our team have survived the same experiences and the best news is that we can show you how to achieve improved health outcomes with the right tools, support and guidance.

Some of our clients prefer an individual consultation, if so, we are happy to provide our wellbeing packages with fixed-rate prices as and when you need us. We deliver lifestyle medicine which works alongside your GP, specialists and other healthcare providers to support you on your journey towards a healthier future. Starting today.

Dr Kim Williams

“Plant based health online could not be more timely and relevant. We have been in a dual pandemic– cardiovascular disease and now SARS 2 COVID-19. Remarkably they have the same risk factors for a bad outcome, including obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and an inflammatory cytokine-generating microbiome. As the science unfolds it is clear that plant-based nutrition could have saved millions of lives by reducing these risk and disease promoting factors. The promotion of plant-based nutrition education to improve diet quality can save millions.”

“Lifestyle medicine in general, and a specific shift to high-quality, plant-predominant dietary patterns, are directly responsive to the great health imperatives of our time: reducing the burdens of obesity and chronic disease, improving cardiometabolic health, reducing the acute risks of COVID, and addressing the urgencies of planetary health and sustainability. This platform is an important, timely advance of great promise at the confluence of many needs.”
