Welcome to Willow Health & Wellness 🌿
Hello, and a warm welcome from your coach, Lara Lee Aspeling. Through Willow Health & Wellness, I offer holistic, person-centred health and wellness coaching, along with supportive educational services designed to help you thrive.
I’m grateful to call the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa my home. I hold a BA in English and Psychology, an Honours in Psychology, and a Master’s in Linguistics, where my research explored the transformative power of gratitude.
I’m a certified Specialised Wellness Counsellor through the Association of Supportive and Holistic Practitioners. I also hold certification as a Plant-Based Coach through the Food Revolution Network, an organisation dedicated to empowering people with evidence-based, whole-food, plant-based nutrition education. In addition, I’m part of the Plantrician Providers community, which supports health professionals who champion whole-food, plant-based nutrition.
My professional journey spans many years of teaching, facilitation, counselling and mentoring across both educational and corporate environments. I’ve worked as a college and university lecturer, communication and personal development trainer, and course developer. At the heart of every role has been a deep love for people – and a commitment to supporting their personal growth and happiness.
I’m passionate about empowering individuals to strengthen their inner resources, cultivate wellbeing, and flourish in every area of life. My approach embraces all aspects of holistic health, including plant-based nutrition, mindfulness, gratitude, breathwork, positive psychology, and emotional resilience. I believe in meeting each person where they are and walking alongside them as they take meaningful steps toward greater wellbeing – in their own unique way.
Personally, I follow a plant-based lifestyle, and my faith is an important part of who I am. At the same time, I value inclusivity and deeply honour diverse perspectives. I warmly welcome clients from all backgrounds, beliefs and walks of life.
Wherever you are on your wellness journey, it would be my privilege to walk with you – with care, compassion and wholehearted support.
