Nourishing your body & mind
Nutrients are the building blocks of not only good health, but great health. Every single cell of the body needs to have the correct nutrients in order to develop, grow and heal.
So foods will support the body's own natural self healing process; however health is much more than the absence of an illness or ailment.
Health is also about having abundant energy, ability to relax & of course to joy life.
Functional Medicine
It is wonderful that each individual is unique, each responds differently to certain circumstances and will produce different responses.
Foods too will promote different reactions in people, so with Functional Nutrition, the aim is to consider each person uniquely, with each plan tailored to the specific needs of the individual. Using a science evidence based approach to review all areas of health has proven to be effective and the future of medicine. A 'one-fit' approach which is typical of most diet & lifestyle plans does not take into account the individual and so often only produces short term results. The term used to describe this method of working is Functional Medicine, a whole holistic approach.
My purpose is for you
Functional means an activity or purpose, and my purpose is to guide you on your health journey. Walking the path alongside you, supporting you along the way. Together we will set goals and work through any pain barriers, going at your own pace that fits in with your life & family. We will put in a plan that you find exciting & enjoyable.
If you have gut health, immune or stress related conditions such as food intolerances, long term immune symptoms, anxiety or mood imbalances, then I’d like to chat with you to see how I can help.
Have another condition, such as weight loss or other, I can help too.

What happens in a consultation?
Prior to the consultation you will be asked to complete & return a consent form and the consultation form to understand more about the condition and your current health. This includes space for you to insert your daily food intake for a week.
The consultation will be held online or in person at a convenient time for you.
We will discuss your health goals and aspirations, what your struggles are having with your health and how the right food can support you.
The discussion will include reviewing your health history, medications, current supplement plan as well as foods you enjoy eating or those which you dislike.
After the consultation a plan will be produced based on the information during our chat. Much of this information will already be discussed during our meeting.
We will arrange to meet at scheduled times throughout the month to review progress, what is working well and how we can stretch you further.
The uniqueness offered
I offer a supporting and encouraging atmosphere where you will feel safe and comfortable to talk about your health concerns; this can include emotions that arise and are ready to be processed. As a Naturopathic Nutritionist, Functional Medicine Practitioner and Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner I keep informed of evidence based research to ensure my clients receive the best support I can offer; this was possible from the Masters degree in Personalised Nutrition.
Did you know that energetically, emotions can underpin health concerns; and so for a deeper level of support a series of energy healing sessions would complement all nutritional plans.
