About Us

In 2023 we wrote a book “How to Improve the Menopause Experience through Nutrition and Lifestyle: The Triangle of Hormonal Health” which is due to be published in 2025 by Jessica Kingsley Publishing.

Hormone Wellness is an online hormone clinic which evolved from the Balanced Wellness clinic founded in 2008 by Claire Snowdon-Darling and Laura Knowles. Offering a powerful combination nutrition and functional testing, we have gained a reputation for offering a professional, effective approach to healthcare.

Through our personal journeys with ill health and our professional experience of working with thousands of people, we developed a unique clinic model “The Triangle of Hormonal Health”. The research behind this led to us becoming experts in hormones and menopause and after niching in this field we realised that there was a need for an online service that offered a whole health approach.

Our work became the basis of three ground breaking practitioner training courses taught through our sister company The College of Functional Wellness which trains practitioners to the highest standards.

It is from our pool of exceptionally trained practitioners that we hand select the team at Hormone Wellness, ensuring they are trained in our effective and holistic approaches. Each member of our experienced team is trained and accredited to the highest level as a Functional Professional. All our practitioners are insured (our courses are underwritten by Balens) and accredited the Kinesiology Federation and registered with the CNHC. Our practitioners are also members of the Federation of Holistic Therapists and endorsed by ITEC VTCT.
