From the practitioner: About My Practice

I offer online Functional Medicine & Nutrition consultations. My approach uses the intelligence of nature & science to transform health. Using a detailed health history & supportive functional diagnostic testing I can identify underlying root causes of presenting symptoms or conditions. I work to correct imbalances in the body and to restore and support inherent healing systems allowing a return to health. I have a special interest in gut health specialising in IBS & SIBO. I also work deeply with female health issues, teenage health, autoimmunity, chronic fatigue, mystery illness & nutrigenomics. I have great passion for health optimisation, longevity and disease prevention.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Following the initial assessment, the patient & I will agree an achievable plan which will include, dietary & lifestyle measures. This may include supplementation and advise on further functional diagnostic testing if required. I support a range of conditions in my clinic as well as personalised nutrition and prevention.
