Working with Laura was truly life changing! I recommend her to everyone!! When working with her I started living a life where I could nourish my body without judgement, including adding what she calls “gentle nutrition” wherever I wanted. Its the first time in my life I’ve felt true food freedom and have been kind to my body.

Overall, working with Laura gave me confidence in myself and has boosted my self-esteem. I no longer obsess about food which had honestly consumed so much of my daily activities. Being able to make food choices and being okay with them has been freeing! She is phenomenal at what she does and she is kind and supportive through the whole process.

Wow. Finally, a culturally competent provider who doesn’t try to convince you to cut out all your cultural foods! Instead Laura worked with me to incorporate my culture’s foods, taught me that they are nutritious and I can still eat them while also managing my conditions. Highly recommend!
June 29, 2021William Y.Verified patientVideo visit
It was important to me to find a weight neutral provider and I have always felt seen and heard by Laura. If you’re lucky to get the opportunity to work with her I highly recommend!! Laura is thoughtful, warm and really easy to talk to which makes it easy to open up about all the food and body image stuff. It has not been an easy journey but she has definitely played a huge role in how far I’ve come in healing my relationship with food. She talks a lot about authenticity and core values, challenges you to seek compassionate ways to take care of yourself. I feel so lucky to work with her!

My appointment with Laura was so informative — I learned more in my consultation with her than with my previous team of doctors combined! She was non-judgmental about my food habits and lifestyle and provided helpful, realistic food changes that I was able to implement the very next day.

Laura is thoughtful and kind. My appointment with her was helpful and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her. Highly recommended! Also, the waiting room of the office is really nice and spacious with lots of places to relax and charge your phone!

Ms. Iu was very amiable, professional and knowledgeable. She has an excellent bedside manner/interaction style which is so refreshing and comforting in today's business oriented healthcare system..

She was super sweet and extremely accommodating. However this is not a typical nutritionist. She will not tell you what to eat and what not to eat. It’s a different method, intuitive eating. Just keep that in mind when booking!

Laura is AMAZING! As someone who knows a good amount about food/nutrition but has struggled with food for years, eating disorders, and habitually gets into eating patterns, I feel like Laura is one of the few doctors who understands me. She was super kind, patient, thorough, and worked to help me set goals that are realistic and actionable for me. Cannot recommend her enough!!
July 6, 2019Alexis C.Verified patient
Laura was great - she listened well and had practical advice that didn’t focus on what you shouldn’t be eating but rather on what you should be eating and how to make it enjoyable. Professional but not preachy.
More than 1 year agoMichael Ryan M.Verified patient
I had never been to a nutritionist/dietician before so I was unsure if this would be the right move wrt answering my questions -- specifically about whether or not my current diet satisfied all my vitamin/mineral needs on a day to day basis. Laura listened well and gave me incredibly useful feedback that im looking forward to incorporating into my diet. She will be emailing me the notes from our session. Highly recommend to anyone not just in the interest of doing something reactive, but for people being proactive about their diets as well!
May 9, 2019Karan B.Verified patient
Laura is so kind and knowledgeable. I didn't feel judged or shamed when we met. She's a great listener and seems to be committed to individualizing treatment. This was my first time seeing a dietician, and I could not have picked a better starting point!
April 5, 2019Tanner B.Verified patient
My visit with Laura was so much more than I expected. I went to see Laura to learn more about "intuitive eating" / have a healthier relationship with food. As someone who has struggled with weight all my life I was hesitant to see a dietitian. I did not want to be told to just go on a diet. Laura was totally the opposite of that. She was very kind and took the time to ask about my relationship with food and self esteem. She explained all of her recommendations from a scientific perspective which I appreciated, nothing was gimicky. We set a few goals together. I look forward to continuing my treatment.

Dr. Lu was a great listener. She seemed truly interested in helping me and had amazing suggestions. Very excited to have found such a great doctor!
February 13, 2019Megan K.Verified patient
The thing I appreciate most about Laura is how easy it is to talk to her, it feels like talking to a friend which makes me feel safe to open up about my weight and diet. I never thought I would be able to let go of the food rules and scale but here I am happy and feeling healthier than ever.

I’m so glad I found Laura. She is kind, honest and completely non judgemental. If you’re looking for someone who is capable and wants to genuinely help you, look no further. She’s the best!

Having Laura as my nutritionist has been invaluable. She’s helped me figure out what foods trigger my stomach pain, gas, bloating etc. It's cool that she's also a yoga teacher because she also taught me skills to de-stress and my IBS symptoms have gotten much better. Supportive, extremely easy to talk to and very intelligent. Location is great and office is not at all what you might expect (no hospital vibes?) instead it’s actually nice calm and relaxing.
More than 1 year agoRC
Laura is the most down to earth, professional, smart and compassionate practitioner I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She helped me create what she calls “flexible meal plans" and offered many time-saving tips for grocery shopping, cooking and recipes too. She listens to your needs and understands your struggles. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great nutritionist in the area.
More than 1 year agoNM
I'm so happy that I found Laura. From the first session I felt at ease with her and this made it easy for me to open up about my dieting history. She’s incredibly kind, attentive, very knowledgeable and has given me sooo many tools/skills to use that don’t involve *gasp* counting calories or any restrictive dieting of te sort!! shes helped me make positive lifelong changes including how to be flexible with meal planning and not only do I feel confident about my food choices but also my body. I cannot recommend her enough!

Like many of us, I’ve struggled with my weight for years. With Laura’s help with Intuitive Eating I finally let go of the notion that I need to diet...and for once I’m not being so hard on myself. Laura has been so supportive and it’s getting easier to eat without guilt! I’ve learned to eat when I'm hungry & stop when I’m full. I feel less stressed around food & because of it my relationships have improved. I feel like I got my life back thanks to working with Laura.

Laura is Mary Poppins for us. She has helped my younger daughter (a picky eater) broaden her food interest, and my teenage daughter select healthier food choices. For our family's meal planning, Laura always creates new menu options for each of us to enjoy the dishes' taste. Then, we learn the nutrition benefits as well!
More than 1 year agoJC
I was referred to Laura by my doctor after being told my blood sugar was too high. What I like best is that when I told her what some of my favorite foods were, she actually taught me how to incorporate them into my meals. After a few months, my a1c is better and I still can’t believe I'm doing it while still being able to eat some of the foods I really like. She’s incredible.
