Lara is a Health and Wellness Coach trained through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, with an academic background in Marital and Family Therapy and Art Therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University, and author of published written research on wellness.

​

After finishing graduate school in California in 2019, and moving back to her hometown of Buffalo New York, her career path was sidelined by the unexpected. Amidst the global pandemic and unforeseen licensing delays, the stress of this season eventually took its toll; her health shifted, and her body began signaling distress through severe fatigue, brain fog, and burnout.

​

What followed was a moment of reckoning that required a complete reevaluation of how she lived, cared for her body, and approached long-term well-being.

She went the traditional route, seeing doctor after doctor, only to be told everything was “normal”.

​

It wasn't until she met with a holistic health practitioner that the pieces finally clicked.

Through an integrated approach combining medical care with functional and holistic lifestyle strategies, Lara was able to stabilize her health and rebuild her life from the inside out. The process reshaped not only her physical well-being, but also her understanding of what true, sustainable health requires.

​

This personal health experience, combined with the transition in her career, clarified her trajectory: she was meant to help others navigate their own paths to healing.

Lara approaches her clients’ lives with the same depth, care, and attention she once applied to her own, examining every aspect of daily life, from environment and nutrition to movement, mindset, and the quieter influences often overlooked.

​

Her goal is to help others achieve the same sense of stability, clarity, and vitality she worked to reclaim for herself. The work is grounded in sustainability rather than extremes, with small daily practices introduced gradually to support long-term health rather than short-term results. Lara works privately with a limited number of clients, offering a discreet, high-touch experience designed to support meaningful, lasting change.
