Lara is the founder of Naturally Yew, a functional healthcare practice dedicated to restoring deep, lasting health by identifying and addressing the root causes of

imbalance—rather than simply managing symptoms.

After an 18-year career in the oil and gas industry, Lara’s life took a transformative turn when she faced her own complex health challenges. That personal journey ignited her passion for holistic healing and led her to create Naturally Yew, where she combines evidence-based functional medicine with a deeply compassionate, personalized approach.

Beyond her clinical work, Lara has been actively involved in anti-human trafficking advocacy, where she gained hands-on experience in trauma-informed care. This, combined with her professional background, gives her a unique blend of empathy, resilience, and operational expertise—qualities that deeply inform her work and set her apart as a practitioner and guide.
