Laura has been a fitness professional since 1983 and a nutrition consultant since 1991. Laura was a member of the British Judo Team for 10 years followed by a successful 6 year international career in the Fitness and Figure industry.

This 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.

Laura has competed in numerous competitions both nationally and internationally. She has been a British international in both the Miss Figure and Miss Fitness competitions. One of her greatest achievements was becoming a Miss Universe Runner Up in the Miss Fitness Category at the age of 37. 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.
