Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

I am a Nutritional Therapist and Functional Medicine Practitioner with a special interest in gut and brain health. I support children, teens and adults with neurodivergent conditions, mood disorders, neuroinflammation, brain fog and neurodegeneration / memory worries. I also support with digestive disorders such as IBS, indigestion, reflux & SIBO.

My practice is virtual so I am able to consult with you regardless of location. I am passionate about digging deep to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and to educate and empower you to reclaim control of your health. I offer a free initial 30 minute discovery call to discuss your health concerns and explain how I can help.
