Health is the first step in the pursuit of happiness. Without it, everything else is an uphill battle.

Hello! My name is Laura and I have developed an extreme passion for nutrition and all things health and Wellbeing over the past few years. I am 26 years old, partner and mother and one of my biggest goals is to create a healthier and happier community, to help others and provide a ray of sunshine to my clients health related goals.

I obtained a First Class Degree in Construction Management in 2019. Prior to this, I worked as an Trainee, Assistant then qualified Project Manager for a Construction Consultancy where I worked with Housing Associations and Councils to deliver their developments. I then worked my way up and became a team leader. Eventually, due to burn out and stress I quit the job I loved very much and decided to take on a different role. I have been working as a Project and Quality Manager for a large Housing Association for the past 3 years.

With my background in Project Management this makes my skills perfectly suited to work with clients, manage and schedule appointments and to carry out my services professionally and to the best of my ability.

I fell pregnant in 2020 and gave birth to a beautiful little girl Summer 2021. Serenity was diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome a few weeks after birth. The pregnancy, the birth and the following months after Serenity was born was a completely different experience to what I thought motherhood was going to be. I started writing a blog in 2021 to share my experiences to hopefully help and educate other parents, friends and siblings.

With Prader-Willi Syndrome, amongst many things, diet and nutrition are imperative to managing the condition. People with this condition are prone to obesity as they generally feel never full. More information can be found at the link below. I begun to learn a lot about nutrition for my own benefit and for my daughters. Due to the stress, I became very unhealthy, gained 4 stone and had many other symptoms. I became severely fatigued, overwhelmed and under motivated, overweight and dehydrated, my mental health and brain fog declined and I developed Rosacea on my face which affected my self esteem and confidence. I educated myself on nutrition and gained help from other consultants to help get my life back on track. My main goal was to give Serenity the best start in life and so I would always be able to make the best decisions for her around diet, health and wellness.

In 2023 I became a qualified Nutrition and Weight Management Advisor so I could be able to help people live their lives in a healthier way and help clients reach their full potential.

The name Serene Wellbeing comes from my daughter, Serenity. I'm doing this all for you baby girl.
