How we help

Nutritional and Functional Medicine can help to naturally treat and support a broad range of health conditions and challenges. By considering you, your lifestyle, and your mental and physical health as a unique and interwoven system it provides a holistic roadmap to a healthier, happier you.

​

There is no one size fits all approach, even when people present with the same conditions. That's why our approach is thorough and commitment and willingness to change is required from you to achieve your desired health outcomes. 

​

Helping women to understand their bodies and its complexities is an area of immense honour for me to be apart of. 

​

I look forward to sharing your health journey with you,

Women’s health and hormones

Hormones play an important role in many aspects of our overall health— they can influence the way we feel and behave and how our bodies function. Navigating hormonal fluctuations can be confusing and frustrating. We help you gain insight into your hormones and empower you to work with them to feel in balance.

• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) 

• Endometriosis 

• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

• Painful and heavy periods 

• Fibroids

• Adenomyosis

• Thyroid conditions (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hashimotos and graves disease)

• Low libido 

• Excessive hair growth (hirsutism) 

• Hair loss

• Perimenopause and menopause

Gold standard hormone profiling and genetic testing may be suggested to gain a greater insight into your case and reduce treatment timelines. 

Gut health and digestive issues

​

Gut health is at the centre of health and wellbeing. When our gut isn’t functioning correctly or we have a microbial imbalance, all of our systems are impacted. Gut health can be linked to ongoing issues such as allergies, intolerances, inflammation, anxiety, depression, autoimmune conditions and chronic disease. Let us help you reduce your dependence on specialty diets and medications to manage our gut health. Together we’ll investigate and address any underlying digestive disturbances and restore your gut health. 

• ​Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• Food allergies and intolerances

• Reflux and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD)

• Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) 

• Chronic constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, excessive flatulence/burping

• Coeliac disease

• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ulcerative colitis

• Candida

Comprehensive stool analysis, breath testing and allergy/intolerance testing may be used to gain greater insight and reduce treatment times.

Children's health 

We can help babies and children of all ages with safe and effective treatment approaches that proactively address any health concerns that may come up— and support your kids to feel healthy and grow strong.

• Colic, nappy rash, teething

• Constipation/diarrhea

• Growth and development

• Introducing solids

• Recurrent colds, flus and ear infections

• Food allergies and intolerances

• Autism

• ADHD

• Eczema/skin conditions

• Adequate nutrition and dietary intake

• Genetic testing (cheek swab)

Mental Health 

Gut health, trauma, genetics, nutrient deficiencies/excess, diet and lifestyle choices and exposure to various environmental factors can all play a part in our mental health. Working together we examine your genetic makeup, uncover any nutrient deficiencies and address your gut health to help you optimise your mental health and improve your quality of life.

• ​Depression

• Anxiety

• Sleep disturbances (insomnia/hypersomnia)

• Addiction

• Autism

• Behavioural issues

• Cognitive decline

Chronic and Complex conditions

A large number of cases I see are chronic, complex and have previously had no diagnosis or explanation. My approach to interpreting symptoms, blood tests and other factors is from a functional and holistic perspective which can often provide insight and explanation. Where necessary, more comprehensive functional testing may be recommended to get to the bottom of your challenges and help you gain control of your health and wellbeing.

• Skin disorders - acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis

• Chronic conditions - diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis

• Weight loss

• Autoimmune conditions

• Chronic fatigue

• Fibromyalgia

• Adrenal fatigue

• Viral conditions - glandular fever (EBV), cytomegalovirus, cold sores, genital herpes

• Genetic abnormalities - MTHFR, COMT, MAO, DAO

• Chemical sensitivities
