Meet Claire and Laura
Claire Snowdon-Darling and Laura Knowles are the pioneers behind the College of Functional Wellness. Accredited to the highest standards within alternative health and after decades in clinical practice, they co-created the unique clinic model ‘The Triangle of Hormonal Health’, authored the book “How to Improve the Menopause Experience Through Nutrition and Lifestyle”, and launched Hormone Wellness, an online service offering hormone coaching and HRT.
Claire is a featured expert on the national website www.menopause.co.uk and as a public speaker (represented by Champions Speaker Agency) she regularly talks at conferences, seminars, and podcasts (see her showreel here).
Claires WebsiteImproving the Menopause Experience
In April 2025, we published 'Improving the Menopause Experience' with Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
Our pivotal guide calls upon the latest scientific and nutritional research to provide a demystified explanation to questions often asked. It offers jargon-free insight into how women’s hormones interact with one another, and how to improve quality of life during and leading up to the menopause.
Speaking from years of clinical research and personal experience, we take a holistic approach in this critical book to educate and empower women to understand their bodies and make informed decisions.
Recorded in 2014, Healthstar is a spoof video of Nicklebacks Rock Star promoting our passion of training great practitioners.
