Laura Brown is a Certified Health Coach (CHC) and the founder of
Intuitive Wellness. A Certified Health Coach is a nutrition expert, wellness authority and a supportive coach.
Laura is passionate about helping people achieve their highest level of wellness. For over thirty years, Laura has pursued an interest in personal growth and alternative healing and in exploring the mind/body connection.
In 2007, Laura took that passion a step further when she earned her (CHC) designation at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), studying an approach that enabled her to integrate the many paths to wellness she has traveled in her life into a powerful program for helping others.
Laura received her training to practice Health Coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories — from traditional philosophies to modern concepts like the Blood Type Diet, The Zone, raw foods and superfoods — enabling practitioners to tailor the best nutritional program for their individual client.
Integrative Nutrition practitioners focus on bio-individuality, the recognition that one person’s medicine is another one's poison. Integrative nutrition also emphasizes “crowding out” unhealthy foods and lifestyle choices with good ones — a common sense approach to dietary change that keeps the individual from feeling deprived — and thus much more likely to stay on course.
The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, in alliance with Columbia University’s Teacher’s College, is the only school of its kind in the world. It features such esteemed faculty as Deepak Chopra, Dr. Andrew Weill and Dr. Mehmet Oz.

"One-on-One: In some ways, the health coach picks up where your physician leaves off, helping you to implement wellness strategies suggested after a check-up or diagnosis. Christi Collins, a holistic health counselor in Boston, recommends finding a coach who has received training from a reputable program, such as the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (integrativenutrition.com or who has an AADP (American Association of Drugless Practitioners) certification. It's also key to find someone whose personality resonates with your own."
