We often have to nurture our bodies back to health once things have gone off track.

Food is information for your cells and your body. When you change the input, the chemistry of the body changes so we can achieve a different outcome.

I will work with you to uncover the imbalances underlying your symptoms, and then support you to make changes to improve your health, so that you can thrive in your life.

Do you struggle with any of these issues? 

I guide you through this step by step. It’s often about establishing healthy eating patterns and habits and nourishing the body so that it has the capacity to lose weight. We can test to see if there are any functional imbalances making weight loss harder such as: hormones; thyroid; and levels of inflammation which can all be underlying factors.
Feeling tired all the time is one of the biggest complaints I hear. There are many possible root causes. It can be as simple as getting proportions of protein, fat and carbohydrate correct at each meal. However there can also be hormone and micronutrient imbalances or issues with thyroid function. Blood tests are really helpful when fatigue is present as levels of iron, folate and B12 may be underpinning different types of anaemia.
This can be a very complex area which I deal with on a daily basis. It includes IBS, IBD, SIBO, acid reflux, gout, bowel problems and issues with digestion and absorption. If your digestion doesn’t work well it’s very hard for the body to obtain the nutrients it needs to regenerate the body, which is an ongoing daily requirement. Sometimes it’s just a little advice and some support with constructing a healthy eating strategy. Sometimes it requires more long-term support to get clients back on the road to health.
Has your Dr told you, your sugar levels (Hba1c) are too high, you are pre-diabetic or diabetic? There is so much you do with diet, especially in the early stages. It’s not just what you eat but, how you eat and when you eat, plus understanding the impact of stress. These are all important pieces of the puzzle for metabolic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and liver conditions including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
High blood pressure and high cholesterol both respond well to nutritional support. We eat very little cholesterol, the body makes it in response to how various systems are functioning or mal-functioning. How we process fats is a critical component but nutrient content of the diet and intake of trans-fats also need to be addressed, for the heart to function well.
This is critical for many clients but especially pre and post menopause ladies, and the older generation. I do also see this issue in men. Thyroid health, testing nutrient levels in the body and assessing them in the diet are key for improving bone density. The acid/alkaline pH balance in the body is also a factor. Our pH levels are critical for health and are maintained via the mineral reservoir in the bone. But we can influence them with breathwork because they are affected by the biochemistry of breathing.
Nutrition is a key part of preparing for and optimising conception as well as the foundation of a healthy pregnancy. You need good essential fatty acid ratios, a healthy gut, low levels of inflammation and excellent blood glucose management. All of these can be tested for and supported by nutrition. They go hand in hand to help regulate hormone balance and generate healthy eggs and good quality, energetic sperm.
This is often a big part of any health issues. Stress disrupts hormones, causes inflammation and aggravates the gut. I teach breathwork and other modalities to manage and minimise stress. Improving vagus nerve function is key and breathwork gets right to the core of this.
This is an extreme form of arthritis in the joints. Nutrition may help the body to resolve the underlying inflammation and reduce pain. Pain also had a large mental and emotional component which I have personally experienced. Breathwork is an important part of the toolkit to help address this.
Hormone imbalances can occur throughout life but the typical areas are fertility, peri-menopause and menopause. It’s a complex area as when our hormones change the body has to adapt to a new way of working. With testing, supplements and lifestyle guidance we get to the root cause. Combined with the right nutrition we can get you back on track.
