About me
Hi, I am Lara
Ventoso, naturopath.
I completed my studies in naturopathy at Quebec’s School of Higher Education of Naturopathy (EESNQ), in Montreal (Canada). It is in Montreal where I have practiced until 2022, accumulating five years of clinical experience. In 2022 I return to Vigo, my place of origin, to continue developing my practice.
My training as a naturopath accumulates over 6000 hours in basic medical science training (e.g., physiopathology, biochemistry, immunology) as well as natural principles, therapies, as well as supervised clinical experience. I received the award of excellence in my cohort. I am also trained in foot and hand reflexology.
Naturopathy is addressed to anyone who wishes to recover, optimize or maintain the balance of his/her well-being.
I work with an individualized and holistic approach that is characterized by the respect for the globality of the person and his/her environment.
I advice people of all ages with chronic and acute conditions, as well as those seeking prevention and maximizing their vitality.
I can do the consultations in Spanish, French or English.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Lara

about naturopathy
Why choose naturopathy?
Naturopathy is an integrated approach to personal care that takes into account the effects of nutrition, lifestyle and emotional problems on the body. The naturopath combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional natural practices to support and stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself.
While we offer naturopathic evaluations, we do not claim to offer a medical diagnosis or treatment. The natural techniques that we apply do not replace or exclude conventional medical or pharmacological care or treatment prescribed by health professionals, but can work in conjunction with it. Collaborative care is our goal.
La fuerza natural dentro de cada uno de nosotros es el mayor sanador de todos
Hipócrates, médico de la Antigua Grecia (460 a. C.- 370 a. C.)
Naturopathic Principles
The first thing is to do no harm
((Primum non nocere)
The naturopath uses non-toxic and naturally based remedies and therapies that minimize the risk of harmful side effects.
Work the cause
(Tolle Causam)
The naturopath seeks to identify and address the underlying causes of the disease, rather than simply alleviating or suppressing the discomfort.
Teach
(Docere)
Through education and a relationship based on trust, the naturopath will give you an understanding of the factors that affect your health, help you to balance, and take responsibility for your own well-being.
If you want to know more about the principles of naturopathy, I invite you to read the information on this link.
Healing Power of Nature
(Vis Medicatrix Naturae)
Naturopathy recognizes the person’s inherent and powerful healing ability. Naturopaths work to identify and remove obstacles to recovery, facilitating and enhancing this ability.
Treat the Whole
(Tolle Totum)
The naturopath understands the interconnectedness of our body, our environment, and our lifestyle. It is only through this whole-person approach that the naturopath seeks to restore balance and well-being.
Prevent
Health is more than the absence of disease. The naturopath applies all the above principles proactively for prevention and health promotion. He/she does not treat any specific condition, but rather assesses the person to provide lifestyle suggestions.
He/she emphasizes healthy daily habits, assesses risk factors and hereditary susceptibility to disease, and makes appropriate interventions to prevent the disease.
How can naturopathy help you?
Identify your risk factors.
The vitality of the organs of elimination is essential for general well-being. Our modern lifestyle exposes us to a wide variety of harmful chemical substances and the scientific evidence of their impact on our body is extensive and is related to increasingly diverse pathologies. Our body finds it more difficult to eliminate this high toxic load. A healthy individualized detoxification program can help us improve symptoms such as weight gain, low energy, headaches, emotional difficulties, frequent colds and joint pain, among others.
✓ Chronical fatigue
✓ Improvement in the sleep quality
✓ Emotional well-being
✓ Digestive disorders
The quality of life is more important than life
itself –Alexis Carrel
✓ Strengthening and disorders of the immune system
✓ Weakness of nails, hair or skin
✓ Inflammation and pain
✓ Concentration problems
✓ Preparation for pregnancy
Your general well-being is closely related to the proper balance of your hormones: PMS, menopause, libido, infertility, pregnancy, etc.
✓ Reduce the side effects of other treatments

Therapies
Natural therapies
In my practice, I mainly work with the following instruments:
Making dietary adjustments is often one of the first steps in achieving optimal wellness.
It is about understanding the impact of diet on well-being, making sure that the body has the necessary basic nutrients and that it can absorb them well. This involves identifying possible deficiencies, nutritional excesses, or other digestive imbalances. A naturopath is not a nutritionist, but guides and reviews the introduction of dietary changes, and may work with nutritionists, who are responsible for developing diets.
All diseases start in the gut.
Hipócrates, (460 a. C.- 370 a. C.)

Advice on what kind of supplements (vitamins, minerals, omega 3, probiotics,
antioxidants, etc.) can help eliminate toxicities, provide micronutrients necessary to
improve vitality or restore immune balance.
Herbal medicine (in the form of tinctures, teas, and capsules) has been shown to be safe
and effective through scientific and clinical research.
Emotional states are important elements in healing and disease. Address the impact
that stress and life events have on a person's health. Advice on lifestyle, exercise and
breathing and environmental risks.
Water provides us with a very useful tool to strengthen and balance different systems (nervous, hormonal, immune, cardiovascular) through its ability to convey heat or cold.
Use different/simple techniques that can be carried out comfortably at home, such as the use of compresses, showers or baths with different temperatures, a bypass bath, wet socks, or constitutional hydrotherapy sessions.
He who has a knowledge of the effects of water, and knows how to use it in its many forms, is in possession of a remedy that cannot be surpassed by any other, whatever its name.
Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897), German naturopathic doctor and promoter of hydrotherapy
This powerful system of medicine is over 200 years old and is widely accepted in many
countries. Homeopathic remedies are made from specific dilutions of plant, animal, and
mineral substances. When carefully combined with the person, they can affect the "life
force" of the body on both a physical and emotional level. Some conditions that do not
respond well to conventional medicine respond effectively to homeopathy.
Reflexology is a holistic, gentle, and non-invasive technique based on the principle that there are reflex points on the foot that correspond to parts of the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflex points on the foot, it is possible to help decrease tension, improve circulation and support the body’s efforts to function optimally.

Before the first visit, I will ask you to bring a completed form. During this first meeting, we will take the time to conduct a detailed interview to understand all the factors that impact your health, including discomfort and concerns. We will also review your health history, medications, and your expectations.
I will complete your evaluation with the following technological tools:
The Advanced Biointegral Scanner (ESBIA)
It is a bio-resonance equipment that offers great help in functional evaluation by recording frequency patterns of the different organs and body systems.
It examines where the alterations that can produce or have produced imbalances are found. Once the data is obtained (through a non-invasive resonance method), the software can compare it with a database of some 1,400 substances, giving us information on the possible presence of pathogenic microorganisms, heavy metals, vitamins, possible food sensitivities, etc.
A bioimpedance study with a Tanita scale
That allows accurate measurement of body composition (fat, bone and lean mass, hydration, etc.). It will allow us to refine the type of nutritional intervention and exercise that is most recommended for you.
These tools also allow us to record your evolution, since the information of each session is saved.
If necessary, it is also possible to request laboratory tests such as a genetic test, intolerances, hormonal, stool, etc.
Payment method:
Cash, bizum or credit card

Follow-ups are aimed at seeing where you are improving and what needs improvement, staying motivated, answering your questions, renewing supplements, or performing in- clinic therapies. Recommendations will be adjusted accordingly. The evaluation of the evolution can be completed, again, with the technological tools of bioresonance and bioimpedance.
The duration and frequency of follow-up consultations is variable, depending on the factors of each specific case. As the process progresses, they usually require a shorter duration and take place less frequently.
