Throughout our time working together, we look at your health history, family history, diet and nutritional status, signs and symptoms including blood tests, as well as functional testing and genetic testing.

Consultations will involve a series of directed and non-directed questions to explore how each of your signs and symptoms are manifesting into your health concerns. We explore various body systems as relevant to you (eg. the gut, the nervous system), focusing on the interconnection between the genetic, biological and physiological pathways.

In essence, the holistic approach is a way to look at the body as a whole, focusing on how each element (body system and biochemical pathway) interacts to influence your health and how that is manifesting for you. I don’t just look at the signs and symptoms, I connect the what with the how and the why. This is how we get to the root cause and find the best and most effective way to help you achieve and maintain your health and wellbeing goals.

It is very distinct from the approach that mainstream medical professionals adopt so if you aren’t familiar with functional nutritional medicine, you might feel a little bit confused by the questions but please be assured they all have a purpose that benefits you.

If you have any questions throughout the process, I will always be more than happy to answer them.

The way we approach your health and wellness plan will always be based on your needs, your values and your health goals to get you where you want to be, how you want to get there. This is the number one goal of treatment - Empowering you with the tools, knowledge and resources to achieve and maintain long lasting health and wellbeing outcomes focusing heavily on what’s most important for you to get out of our time working together.

I prioritise setting small, realistic and achievable goals, sort of like building the foundations of a house, then the frame, then you start filling it in until you have a beautiful, well-put-together house or in this case, a state of health and wellbeing that aligns with your goals and meets you where you are at.

This is the way I approach supporting my clients, laying the foundations, and building upon them in a realistic way that promotes building long-lasting habits. The ultimate goal is for you to have the tools you need to maintain your own health in a way that will benefit you for the rest of your life without the added stress and overwhelm.

Certain genetic variants and patterns of genetic variants have been implicated in several diseases and disorders. These are often complex or chronic in nature, and unresponsive to conventional or natural health interventions that discount genetic susceptibilities.

Genetic testing allows us to identify, address and appropriately support susceptibilities to and/or overt dysfunction in metabolic pathways. By placing emphasis on the inter-relationship between genetics, nutrition, diet, environment and lifestyle (“epigenetics”), it provides valuable insight into your susceptibility to health conditions and chronic diseases and the functional state of your body, empowering you to take control over your health and well-being outcomes.

In my personal and professional experience, genetics are incredibly important for individuals struggling with chronic and complex health concerns. They inform treatment protocols that can really propel you towards your goals by overcoming the obstacles otherwise preventing you from healing. It is an invaluable tool and lifelong investment in your health and wellness .

The aim is to optimise your health and transform your life by identifying and treating the origins of ill health. Your body has the innate wisdom to heal, so once we identify the root cause, we then give your body exactly what it needs in the most precise combinations. This usually includes a combination of dietary and lifestyle changes and targeted supplementation.

Everything you need, and nothing you don’t. My health and wellness plans and services are grounded in minimalist principles, which means I cut through the health information overload and provide you with the solutions you need to heal your body and amplify your life. I don’t believe in miracle cures, one-size-fits-all standardised treatments or protocols, fad diets or approaches not grounded in evidence-based science. I will only recommend the most cutting edge, reliable functional testing that will benefit your treatment; I will only prescribe you supplements and dietary and lifestyle changes you actually need to heal and thrive, and I will only use treatments with evidence behind them to ensure you get the very best of natural medicine can offer.

We combine genetic, functional, biochemical, nutritional and metabolic oriented questions, investigations and markers of imbalances to tailor your wellness plan. Through signs, symptoms and a clinical history alongside functional investigations, we can identify and treat the root cause of illness. Your body will tell us everything we need to know, we just need to use the questions, the right ’tools’ and the right combination of approaches to listen, identify and treat it.

My goal is to educate, support and empower you to make well-informed, sustainable, achievable and lasting changes that benefit your health. I work to ensure you have the support, knowledge, tools and strategies you need to overcome any personal barriers and limitations to achieving your health goals. The aim is for you to walk away feeling empowered and ready for lifelong optimal health.

At the end of your consultation, you will receive an evidence-based, personalised treatment plan that focuses on how best to support you through nutritional supplements, dietary and lifestyle recommendations. This treatment plan will be developed in collaboration with you during your consultation in order to help you achieve sustainable, long term health improvements that fits within your values, belief system and lifestyle.

Genetics, epigenetics, health and illness are individual and unique to each person. This is aligned with my core values as a practitioner; I do not adopt a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach. I treat you like the unique person you are by offering personalised natural health solutions tailored just for you within your budget, unique to your preferences and compatible with your values, beliefs, means and lifestyle!
