Laura has experience counseling patients in the clinical and outpatient setting in multiple areas of nutrition including pediatric and adult weight management, autoimmune conditions, kidney disease, diabetes, cancer, enteral and parental nutrition, celiac disease, cardiovascular disease, digestive and thyroid disorders, and prenatal/postnatal nutrition.
Laura’s strong interest in nutrition and a healthy lifestyle started at a very young age, when Laura was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. Systemic lupus is a chronic autoimmune disorder affecting various organs of the body. After years of chemo therapy and other harsh medications, Laura realized that without good nutrition, her quality of life and health would not allow her to do the daily activities she enjoyed. Not only does Laura enjoy seeing her clients and families achieve success in attaining their nutrition and health goals, but her personal background, has assisted her in better understanding her clients personal struggles.

Of his work, John Reed states, "I am moved by the beauty and wonder that surrounds us each and every day, in all subjects from the most ordinary to the most intricate, from quiet reflection to the most fleeting of moments. My aim is to capture this beauty and share my joy with others. To have evoked in the viewer an emotion, or satisfaction with an image is my goal. To bring forth a tender thought, a warm feeling, a positive emotion or simply an “I like that” is to have succeeded. “Come, let me show you what I see.”
