About Richard

Richard Laker is the UK’s leading GNM (German New Medicine) certified clinician with over a decade of experience. His journey into this field began in 2010 when chronic health conditions, including fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, took a sudden and unexpected toll on his life. Having worked closely with Ilsedora Laker, Dean of the GNM Institute for over a decade, Richard was fortunate to experience his first GNM consultation with her to address his own health challenges. This moment proved to be a life-changing epiphany, as most of his symptoms resolved immediately, sparking a transformative shift in his career.

Inspired by this powerful experience, Richard made the decision to pursue GNM training under Ilsedora's guidance, dedicating himself to helping others achieve similar breakthroughs. Over the years, Richard has supported countless clients in overcoming a wide range of health conditions, encouraging others to explore GNM and embark on their own healing journeys. His role as a clinician is best described as that of a health detective, helping patients uncover the emotional origins of their physical ailments and guiding them through the process of mind-body healing.

Education

Richard Laker’s journey into German New Medicine (GNM) began after his own personal health challenges led him to seek alternative methods for healing. Before this turning point, he had spent a decade providing technical support to Ilsedora Laker at the GNM Institute, which provided him with a foundational understanding of the GNM approach. After experiencing his first GNM consultation, Richard was inspired to further his studies under Ilsedora's mentorship.

In 2023, he became an advanced GNM practitioner, dedicated to integrating the biological principles of GNM with compassionate, patient-centred care. Richard’s expertise in identifying and addressing unresolved emotional conflicts has allowed him to guide his patients towards holistic healing, empowering them to achieve long-lasting physical and emotional well-being. With his extensive experience and commitment to GNM, Richard continues to provide accessible consultations across the UK, helping individuals navigate their health challenges with the support of this paradigm-shifting approach.

"Richard I consulted Richard when I was suffering with a very painful frozen shoulder, no amount of treatment was working to relieve the pain. I had heard that GNM could get to the root of what emotional trauma had caused the issue in the first place and I was intrigued to find out if this could help me understand what was going on in my body and subconscious mind. The session was so interesting, with Richard explaining the connection with my neck and shoulder to some very deep and unresolved grief around losing both parents, a beloved dog and complex issues around my family relationships. The day after the session I felt some interesting changes and Richard gave me some things to think about and strategies to help me resolve what was going on at a conscious and subconscious level. The changes were subtle but a few months later (together with some other physical therapies) the shoulder released and it was such a huge relief to be able to live and work without pain! The insights Richard gave me has also helped me to understand why I react in certain ways to situations and this has been very helpful too and I feel lasting changes as a result of this. I highly recommend Richard, he is great to work with, he explains everything so well, is very easy to talk to and has a deep of understanding of the human psyche. Thank you Richard!"
