Laura Coster (Founder)
After starting my career in the NHS, I grew my passion to help as many people with their health across the globe as possible. I then started to also work with charities, food manufacturers, company wellbeing officers, and international companies to deliver nutrition advice.
I am fascinated by how our mindset, eating, and biology all combine to create our wellbeing. Everyone deserves optimal health and I strive to help every client or company I advise to achieve this.
My main clinical areas are gut health, eating disorders, diabetes, and cancer care. I love working with the media and on various projects outside of my 1-to-1 sessions.
While fully booked for 1-to-1 appointments, I am available for:
– Brand work i.e. nutrition consulting & ambassador opportunities
– Media work e.g. interviews & podcasts
– Menu design & analysis
– Presentations & workshops
– Research (e.g. clinical and marketing)
– Cancer care
– Diabetes (type 1, 2, and others)
– Eating disorders and disordered eating
– Gut health e.g. IBD, IBS, GORD and others
– Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

I empathise with how changing weight, size, and/or shape, can feel like a daunting challenge. I use a holistic approach to understand the many factors influencing my client and how we can best achieve long lasting changes and health.
I mostly see those for weight changes (natural or bariatric), type 2 diabetes, cancer care, and have vast experience in many other areas.
My experience covers the NHS, private healthcare companies, and corporate health.
– Optimising energy levels

– Cancer care
– Diabetes (type 2)
– Gastric surgery e.g. balloon, bypass, sleeve
– Heart attack prevention and recovery

I believe that enjoyment is just as important as nourishment. I am both a qualified dietitian and yoga teacher and use somatic healing techniques to help clients reconnect with their bodies and develop self- and body trust.
I believe in meeting clients where they’re at and discussing achievable steps to help reach their goals. I also have a specialist interest in disordered eating in South Asian women. I’m passionate about encouraging voices from ethnic minorities to be heard.
Alongside working in the NHS, I work for an eating disorder charity delivering workshops and seeing clients on a one-on-one basis.
– Boosting energy levels
– Developing self-trust of one’s body
– Gradual and healthy weight restoration
– Improving relationships with food
