From the practitioner: About My Practice

I hold a medical degree from Wits Medical School and specialise in functional medicine. I’m passionate about helping people thrive and achieve lasting wellness by addressing the root causes of disease. Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms, functional medicine looks at how genetics, lifestyle, and environment influence health. I work with conditions like gut health, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, and mitochondrial function, providing a holistic approach that restores balance and vitality. My approach is collaborative—I believe in co-creating personalised treatment plans with my patients, empowering them to take an active role in their health journey. Together, we can achieve long-term, sustainable wellbeing.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

In my functional medicine practice, patients can expect a comprehensive and personalised approach to their health. Rather than quick fixes, we focus on getting to the root cause of your symptoms. This process involves in-depth consultations, advanced testing, and a thorough review of your medical history, lifestyle, and environment. Healing is a journey, and improvements may take time as we address underlying issues like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances. I believe in a co-creative process, where your input and commitment to the treatment plan are essential for success. Expect a partnership focused on achieving lasting health and vitality, with ongoing support and adjustments as needed.
