Dr Laurens Maas is recognised as Europe’s leading Doctor of Integrated Medicine, he is a Doctor of Integrated Medicine (USA) and an eminent Osteopath.

Laurens has over 30 years’ experience and is a leader in the field of Functional and Integrated Medicine.

Dr Laurens Maas was recognised as the Leading Doctor of Integrated Medicine in Europe in the European Awards in Medicine 2022 and 2023. Laurens and his wife Cath accepted the award at The Ritz in Paris and enjoyed another fantastic night celebrating the leading practitioners in European Medicine. Our congratulations to all other nominees and winners! You can see more photos from the big night here, from the 2022 Awards here and the Awards in full here.

He is truly passionate about what he does, has qualified in several fields of practice and is constantly striving to expand his already extensive knowledge and expertise, not just for the benefit his clients but also for his family’s health and wellbeing.

Using his own blend of Eastern and Western philosophies of healing he has created The Maas Method – a combination of Functional Medicine and Bio Physics. This enables him to design bespoke programmes that perfectly fuse holistic therapies and treatment with scientific testing and analysis, all working towards optimal health and wellness for his clients.

Dr Maas looks at a clients lifestyle, hormones and gut in great detail and builds bespoke recovery programmes to suit. His approach is 100% scientific, however the application is 100% natural. This in combination with the successful implementation of supplements, nutrition recommendations and lifestyle modifications can create wonderful results.

Laurens is a passionate advocate that if you ‘live healthy’, you ‘live happy’ and this shows not just in every client interaction he has, but also in the choices he makes for his own health and wellbeing. Not least as an accomplished surfer.

So it was with great personal and professional pleasure that in 2005 Laurens signed his first pro surfer Kelly Slater and this kick started his drive to work with many more professional athletes.

Kelly Slater 11 x World Surf champion has been his client for the past 12 years, throughout his time competing on the professional surf circuit. Laurens initially supported him to his 7th World title and they’ve been working together on and off ever since.

In early 2017 Laurens signed Stephanie Gilmore 6x World Surf champion. She had not won a world title in 4 years and was keen to radically change that situation. In the first year working with Laurens, she moved up from 6th to 2nd place and in 2018 she won her 7th world title.

Between 2018 and 2020, Laurens also worked with Jordy Smith, the number 1 surfer in South Africa.

“This is a different angle on optimal health. These clients are not sick, they desire and strive for excellent health and peak performance. We aim to take burnt out athletes and get them back to the top of their professional game.”
