Functional Medicine UK Practitioner

My passion for getting to the root cause of unexplained health problems began when I was told by conventional doctors there was no explanation for why I had a full term stillbirth and previous miscarriages in spite of otherwise perfect health.  This prompted me to leave the stress of the corporate world, do another degree (Acupuncture) and post-grad studies (herbal medicine) and dedicate my working life to natural healthcare, lifestyle medicine and now functional medicine.

I have never looked back and owe a debt of gratitude to tragedy that led to transformation and to the wonderful clients I have met, helped and learned from along this journey.

I help people in positions of mission-critical levels responsibility who cannot afford to have ‘down time’ yet whose stress levels are putting them at risk of developing chronic health problems.

  • Personalized Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Long Covid, ME programme or or 10-week group programme
  • Natural Remedies for high blood pressure including acupuncture, personalized nutrition and lifestyle advice based on your lab results.
  • Personalized natural remedies for insomnia based on your lab results.
  • Women’s health including Infertility (stress-related infertility, unexplained infertility, PCOS, amenorrhoea, endometriosis, need to lose weight for IVF etc) through to menopausal syndrome and alternatives to hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
  • Digestive disorders including weightloss, natural remedies for heartburn, natural treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
  • How to reverse Type 2 diabetes naturally.
  • I also work closely with people who are on an NHS Waiting list and want to get as fit and healthy as possible before surgery

I especially enjoy working with people whose doctors have told them there is ‘nothing wrong’ or ‘nothing more that can be done’. or ‘we don’t know what is wrong’! In the current health climate this has led me to focus strongly on post-viral fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome and long covid.

I can give you the time you need so we can get to the bottom of it together.

If we take a snapshot view of your health today, would it fall into the ‘asset’ or ‘liability’ category of a business balance sheet?

The image here is of the Functional Medicine Tree.  It shows how we gather information from the roots upwards. You will notice that unlike conventional medicine, we do not just treat symptoms (the leaves) as we believe they are just a manifestation of something that has gone out of balance inside your body.

The information is gathered using three detailed intake questionnaires that you will need to complete before our  60-minute 1:1 TeleMedicine appointment.  By the time we meet, I will have spent a great deal of time putting together your Functional Medicine Timeline so that we can discuss trends in your health patterns, identify antecedents, triggers and mediators including any genetic predispositions.

I will also have prepared your Functional Medicine Matrix, which is a visual representation of the systems in your body that are most out of balance. This will give us a clear indication of where treatment needs to start to gain the most benefit and which laboratory tests would give us useful ‘behind-the-scenes’ information. This leads us to Step 2: Analyze…

Once we have identified which of the 7 main body systems are out of balance, our motto is Test, don’t Guess!

State-of-the-art Gut function, hormone levels and genetic test kits can be sent to your home for you to provide a sample, then our courier will collect them and take them to the lab.  There are hundreds of tests we can choose from to tailor the right ones for you so that we can get to the root cause of your health issues as quickly and effectively as possible.

The tests are not obligatory, but they can certainly hone our diagnosis much faster and they also provide excellent information for prevention of illness in cases where symptoms are not yet manifesting.
Having gathered as much information as possible in steps 1 and 2, we now move to Step 3: Report.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Functional Nutrition

You will receive a highly detailed A4 report with your timeline, matrix, medical symptoms questionnaire (MSQ) and Functional Medicine Prescription.  This will be our working document for your care plan.

At this stage you can opt to either take the document to work on the plan yourself, or you can begin a 6-month Implementation Motivation and Accountability Plan with me, which is Step 4: Integrate…
