From the practitioner: About My Practice

As I believe each of us are unique, including with regard to health - this means I use a personalised approach to support health.
I approach your health using natural means, using a (w)holistic Functional Medicine approach, supportive of your body’s self regulating mechanisms and can include support for physical, emotional and mental health.
I am also professionally qualified to select and order Functional Medicine, DNA and conventional medicine tests - I can use the results to further personalised your health plan.
