Meet Laura
Laura Bleyendaal, PgD HScN, BN
Laura is the Founder and Nutritionist at HER Nutrition Co, a wellness service created specifically for women. Laura has studied and worked in the health and wellness industry for the past 13 years both in New Zealand and Europe.
Originally an Operating Theatre Nurse, I witnessed an enormity of preventable health issues coupled with an absence of adequate nutrition and lifestyle advice. I found this pattern both frustrating & unsustainable, driving my passion for improving nutrition & wellness services.
As a mother of two energetic, young boys & with a third on the way, I have experienced how motherhood can impact our health & our body’s biochemistry greatly.I have researched in depth how women’s health is so closely associated with the foods we consume and the nutrients both present and absent on our plates.
Specialising in female hormone balance & gut health, I help address issues such as weight management, energy levels, mood, stress & sleep irregularities, cycle health & fertility, thyroid & sex hormone conditions like PCOS.
