About
Laura Lane (EdD, AOR),
Clinical Reflexologist and Women's Health Coach
Hi, I’m Laura - a clinical reflexologist and certified Women's Health Coach. I was diagnosed with advanced endometriosis in 2019 while grappling with early perimenopause and had excision surgery in the same year. Two years later I had my hysterectomy due to ongoing symptoms, fibroids and suspected adenomyosis which put me into surgical menopause at age 41.
After experiencing a rollercoaster of menopause symptoms following my hysterectomy I left my 20 year career in education and trained in clinical reflexology. Soon after this, I created Balanced, a holistic wellness practice for helping others to navigate endometriosis, menopause and stress, where they could feel heard and their experiences of pain could be validated. Building on my yoga training and personal love of reflexology (and help it provided me during my diagnosis), I wanted to share the profound benefits of reflexology and deep relaxation. After making simple but impactful lifestyle changes for navigating my own endometriosis and surgical menopause, I subsequently trained as a women's health coach.
My experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges of living with chronic pain, endometriosis and its co-conditions and invisible illness more broadly.

I love learning...
My Doctorate is in Higher Education and I'm continuously developing my knowledge and experience so that I can support you in the best way possible, informed by current research and evidence. I completed my Women's Health Coaching certification with Dr Jessica Drummond at the prestigious and globally renowned Integrative Women's Health Institute. Building on my Hatha Yoga training I am also certified in Menopause Yoga (trained with Petra Coveney) and Reflexology for Menopause (trained with Sally Earlam). My health coaching encompasses integrative health, supporting sustainable behaviour change, functional nutrition and hormone health. I'm passionate about helping women to navigate the challenges of living with endometriosis and chronic pain as well as helping women to live well throughout perimenopause and menopause. I'm acutely aware of the effects of stress on the body and how this can impact pain, inflammation and burnout. I love to integrate tools for soothing the nervous system in my wellness practice such as gentle breathwork, yoga nidra and guided meditation.
