About Haven GMP
Our Story
A haven is a safe, secure, and peaceful place. My team and I want you to experience that same sense of confidence and calm while we work together. Our role is to help you navigate complex topics, including U.S. regulatory compliance and FDA consulting, without added stress or uncertainty.
In the United States, current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are a systematic framework of requirements for designing, monitoring, and controlling manufacturing processes. These practices ensure that products are consistently produced, meet established quality standards and specifications, and are safe for their intended use.
At Haven GMP, we believe that GMP stands for far more than just black-and-white regulatory text. To us, GMP represents much more including:
Guidance,
Meaningful systems,
and clear Priorities.
We view GMPs as practical, risk-based approaches that fit your operations, protect your business, and support long-term compliance.
Our goal is not just to help you meet regulatory expectations, but to assist you in building quality systems that work, endure, and instill confidence every day.
Growth.
Managed.
Processes.
We take a holistic approach. We work closely with clients to understand their goals and challenges, developing potential solutions that address their specific needs, including Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) and regulatory consulting. Our approach is collaborative, transparent, and results-driven.
We begin with your history, vision, and product goals. The second phase is discovery, where we review, evaluate, and understand your unique situation. Finally, we create a plan and a strategy together.
Only then does the real work begin. We write, implement, train, and optimize production and process controls, quality, food safety, and regulatory systems.

Larisa Pavlick
Grounded. Mindful. Practical.
Founder, Principal Consultant, and Regulatory Nerd.
~30 years of experience in the food & supplements industry, including extensive FDA consulting expertise.
A former FDA Investigator with a focus on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance, I am a regulatory and quality leader dedicated to helping companies modernize their systems. My work aims to prevent compliance gaps and to build confidence in their processes and team through potential solutions.
My career began with 12 years in the dietary supplement industry, where I gained experience in quality, regulatory affairs, product development, and senior buyer roles. This was followed by nearly eight years at the U.S. FDA as a Consumer Safety Officer / Investigator. This combination of experience provides me with a unique perspective to help develop practical solutions that protect consumers and strengthen businesses.
After leaving the agency, I chose to advocate for and educate the industry through two leading trade associations: the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA) and the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA).
Today, I assist brands, manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, and start-ups in establishing and modernizing their quality systems, ensuring compliance with Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) and preparing for FDA scrutiny.
My clients describe me as a trusted partner who provides direct feedback and ethical, practical solutions.
I want to help you succeed:
- Providing a steady path toward full compliance with FDA regulations.
- Creating a haven for you and your team to ask questions.
- Bringing calm to chaos.
- Translating complex regulations into practical steps.
- Helping build systems that are not only compliant but also efficient and aligned with Good Manufacturing Practices.
I am passionate about what I do! I would love to share that energy with you and your team.
I believe quality and regulatory work is more than just monotonous documentation. There is a method behind the regulatory madness. It’s about integrity, protecting consumers, elevating companies, and empowering teams to perform their best work. I’m here to help and support you!
