Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

Nathalie has over 12 years clinical experience in functional nutrition which looks to explore the full health history of the individual and identify the root cause of the illness or problem.
Functional nutrition is about exploring an individual’s nutritional needs and devising appropriate adjustments to diet and lifestyle to achieve the required nutritional input needed to move towards optimal health and well-being.
Functional nutrition offers strategies and tools to make gradual and happy changes towards health.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Prior to a consultation you will be asked to complete a number of questionnaires detailing your medical history, current health concerns, diet and lifestyle. These areas will be explored further in your consultation, along with your priority for treatment. The aim of the consultation is to identity the imbalance or dysfunction at the centre of the individual’s health concerns and manage it in a sustainable way; through diet, exercise and lifestyle adjustments. Nathalie aims to motivate clients to make positive changes without being impractical or overly restrictive. Ultimately a partnership develops whereby the patient will feel empowered to make gradual changes following the advice and guidance of the practitioner.
