How I Work

In my evidence-based clinic, I apply the principles of Functional Medicine framework in order to investigate possible root causes of any health complications, rather than focusing on symptoms alone. This principle promotes optimising wellness by seeking why you may be experiencing a certain health concern or condition. I dive deep into the gut microbiome and its intricate connection to other systems of the body. I further emphasise this by using The 5 Pillars Framework (The Biome Learning Center, 2026). You can read more about it here.

Since we are all so biochemically and beautifully unique, this approach is personalised in order to reflect every aspect of one’s overall health. Gut related condition may present differently in one person compared to the other. It may have a different root cause and may manifest in the body in various ways.

When a client’s symptoms are chronic, I frequently recommend a functional testing to help me see beyond the condition or diagnosis and instead, develop a more strategic nutritional approach based upon these results. Whilst it is possible to make progress in health without testing, I do recommend it in ongoing ‘stalled’ cases.

Working with me is not about quick fix diets but rather adopting sustainable lifestyle changes to suit your goals and needs. My aim is to help you feel broadly supported throughout the process, even when your challenges are longer lasting or more complex. Whether it is managing your weight or supporting your gut, I can help you create a tailored plan that fits your unique lifestyle and goals.

As a Health Coach as well as Trauma Informed Wellbeing coach, I can support your better on this journey by addressing deeper obstacles that might be holding you back from making steady progress toward better health.

What Can I Help With

Gut Health

Whether you have a known diagnosis or a rather unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms that cause constant discomfort, I can help you to address this and any other health problems. Even if your symptoms are seemingly unrelated to the gut, its active role in interacting with other systems of the body means that gut issues can manifest in various forms. These may include: skin problems, fatigue, anxiety, depression, heart problems, obesity etc.

One cannot attain optimal health without optimal digestive processes.

By first focusing on the gastrointestinal tract, the body is provided with an opportunity to restore its function, which many times addresses other remaining health issues.

Mental and Emotional Health

It is extremely difficult to navigate through life if you are feeling hopeless and persistently sad. Gut microbiome plays a crucial role in supporting mental and emotional wellbeing and any disruption within this intestinal ecosystem affects signals that are sent to the brain. Consequently, this can lead to various issues such as chronic low moods, irritability, brain fog, inability to concentrate, insomnia etc.

There is a constant hidden conversation between the gut and the brain.

Restoring the communication between the gut and the brain shapes our mood and stress response in daily lives and lays the foundation for optimal mental and emotional health.

Weight Management

Addressing the underlying issues behind any difficulty with weight loss is understanding the obstacles that need to be addressed in order to achieve optimum weight . There are various reasons why eating daily portions of salads and running on a treadmill five times a week might not work for everyone. Root causes such as hormonal changes, low-grade inflammation, insulin resistance or lack of sleep – all these are examples of factors that can contribute to issues associated with weight management.

Reaching optimal weight is achieved by tuning into your body’s needs; not rejecting them.

Through detailed health and lifestyle assessment and looking at each client holistically, I will create a personalised nutrition protocol to help you reach your weight goal and optimise your health.
