Health rejuvenation coach, Laraba Friedman is offering knowitall.ch readers a 15% discount on her next series of Healthy GUT...Healthy YOU, healthy eating workshops.
Starting on Tuesday morning, 31 October from 10h to 11h30, or Thursday evening, 2 November from 19h to 20h30, her two new series of workshops will run over 4 weeks and have been designed to help participants clean and repair their guts, whilst improving their diet, health and general outlook on life!
Individual approach
As a qualified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Massage Therapist with 4 years’ experience of working in the greater Geneva area, Laraba understands how important it is to treat each client on her workshops as a bio-individual with their own “unique story” to tell.
She told knowitall.ch, “I tailor my work to suit each person, situation and moment. I prefer to listen to what is happening and act on what I hear, so no health coaching session or massage is ever the same!”
4 week gut-healing programme
A special theme is chosen for each of the 4 weekly sessions on the programme, each lasting 90 minutes. Participants can expect to sample different types of food and smoothies and receive a whole host of simple and delicious recipes that their family will like too!
At the opening session, everyone receives a surprise gift which will help them through the process of healing their guts! There is also an exclusive Facebook group where members have the opportunity to partner up with others to keep ideas and motivation flowing! And there is extensive email support too – an essential feature that many participants really appreciate once they start the gut-healing programme!
To prepare participants for this process, Laraba gives everyone advance notice of what to buy and prepare so that they are ready to start on Day One! The next 15 days are devoted to following an elimination diet, which can be adapted to suit personal circumstances as required. After 15 days, certain foods are gradually reintroduced to see how the body reacts. At times, when needed, Laraba will encourage participants to continue longer with their elimination, gut-healing process.
Benefits of the programme
So what can participants expect to achieve after attending Laraba’s workshop programme? According to Laraba there are 5 main benefits:
- You will reset your body by consuming fresh, whole foods, and eliminating processed products from your diet.
- You will be guided to make healthy food choices with a custom-made list of recipes, which introduce you to new foods and healthier ways to prepare old favorite dishes.
- You will experience an increase in energy levels as unhelpful foods such as sugar, gluten and dairy are removed from your diet.
- Your sugar cravings will be reduced and your sleep will improve, as will your skin and mood.
- A final added bonus will be the shrinking of your waistline (if that is what you are aiming for!)
Why choose Laraba’s workshops?
Given the growing number of health workshops that are being offered in the Geneva area, it can be quite difficult for prospective clients to work out which ones suit them best. Having spent much of her childhood in Nepal, and subsequent years living in Scotland, England, Kenya and New York, Laraba believes that she has a very broad view of life, which is beneficial to her clients. She explained,
“I don’t judge my clients, which is really important when they are often feeling guilty about their current lifestyles. Guilt doesn’t help anyone, the important thing is that they have taken the decision to do something about it, and I can help them with that.”
She added, “Given the frequent changes I have had in my life, I can adapt very quickly to different situations…so if an unexpected problem arises, I can work around it to find an alternative solution that works instead.”
Client recommendations
If you want to know what others think about Laraba's course, this is what one client, Hester, told us about her experience on the 4-week progamme: “Laraba's program was easy to follow, she has lots of helpful tips and ideas to incorporate into your daily routines and the group was supportive and fun. I felt full of energy for the first time in years and lost some unwanted kilos as well. Amazing!”
Another client, Petra, wrote in to tell us, "Laraba's light-hearted and fun way of interacting opened our minds to new ways of thinking about and preparing food and so the impact remained way beyond the actual course. Her approach to the course is personalised, flexible yet rooted in science and experience. She can hear what someone is really saying and then tailors her advice to the specific situation at hand. Every group she coaches has its own Facebook group, so all the recipes, books, websites she discusses during the course are posted there for all to access."
