    Freya Lawler is a bachelor qualified naturopath, nutritionist, and fertility educator with a special interest in supporting individuals with endometriosis, pelvic pain, hormone imbalances, and fertility.

    She is extremely passionate about supporting patients to understand the root cause of their symptoms using evidence-based and time-honoured techniques. Freya’s primary goal is to guide, support, and empower you with tools to manage your crippling hormone, endometriosis and reproductive health concerns. She has worked with countless people to enhance their fertility, rebalance their hormones, reduce endo belly bloat, and support their recovery outcomes pre and post laparoscopy. Freya untangles what it means to embrace an anti-inflammatory diet, cuts through the nonsense, and provides you with facts you can trust.

    Freya developed her experience in reproductive health straight out of university working in a specialist fertility clinic in Melbourne, following her passion and insatiable curiosity to know all there is to know about reproductive health. During this time she has been mentored by leading reproductive health specialists and continues partaking in post graduate education in reproductive health and endometriosis.

    Lara uses acupuncture to alleviate conditions such as:

    • Menstrual and genital pain
