She has lectured occasionally at McTimoney College of Chiropractic in Chiropractic Paediatrics helping other chiropractors with this complex subject. Lara founded Hands on Health - Family Chriopractic in 2000. Originally located in Farnham the clinic moved to Camberley in 2008.

Lara trained in Australia for six years at university to receive her Master of Chiropractic. She also received the SUMUCSA Student of the Year Award 1996. After working as a Locum Chiropractor in Australia Lara decided to travel which lead her to England. Here she worked as an Associate Chiropractor for two and a half years. During this time Lara became increasingly aware of the importance of prevention of dysfunction rather than just helping repair the often longstanding problems.

Many patients seemed to have already acquired their problems and only visited the chiropractor when they were most troubling. Lara thought the best way to avoid these problems were to detect them at an early age. So she grew an interest in Paediatrics, which led Lara to embark on a rigorous three year Master of Chiropractic Paediatric course. Lara completed the Master of Chiropractc Paediatric degree in 2003, making her one of the few chiropractors in the UK with formal training in chiropractic paediatrics
