Frequently Asked Questions

  • You may never feel ready (and that’s ok!) but that shouldn’t prevent you from taking action. I don’t think there is ever a perfect time to start as there will always be an event around the corner. So, it’s not a matter of how ready you are, but rather how committed you are. Being healthy is about balance. It is supposed to compliment your life (and make you feel great!) not be a hindrance.

  • Everyone’s progress, results (and commitment!) is different but I’ve never had a client who hasn’t felt better working with me. Most clients notice a change within the first few weeks, and even more so if they complete a Functional Medicine liver detox. Then the bigger transformational change tends to happen after 12-16 weeks (that’s why I prefer to work with clients for this period of time). But we also have to consider how long you’ve been unwell, or how long it took your to get to this place, plus what you're currently dealing with from a root cause perspective. Healing can take time.

  • My approach combines 7 different integrative & natural disciplines including: Functional Medicine, Naturopathy, Ayurveda,  Bioregulatory Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine and Eastern Philosophies.

    As an Integrative Health Practitioner I look for the underlying root cause of why someone isn't feeling their best, and then work with them to rebalance the body from a foundational level, essentially by giving it what it needs & removing what it doesn’t. Plus we explore the mind body connection because emotional energy, beliefs and mindset matter just as much as the physical elements.

    Everything I teach is based on our human biology (not the latest health trends!) and has been tried and tested successfully in clinical practice.

  • Functional testing is an incredible way to identify any underlying root cause imbalances in the body, so you can see exactly what you need to work on to resolve symptoms and bring the body back into balance. It takes out any guesswork and provides us with actionable data moving forward.

    For more information on the tests available, and which ones might benefit you specifically Email me, or book in for a free Health Discovery Session.

  • Health is an ongoing journey that can initially take more dedication in the beginning. But a small commitment up front is it is always worth it for how you will feel in the long run, and will set you up for success. In saying that, I don’t believe in restriction as prefer to find balance… this is what our body is seeking. When the body is in a balanced place, it can do exactly what it needs to do and absolutely thrive. This comes down to giving it what it needs and taking away what it doesn’t. 

  • Your body is communicating with you all the time, and your symptoms are a wise response to something being out of balance. They give us clues on what we need to work on, or what the root cause of your health issues might be. We can also use Functional lab testing to take out any guesswork, if need be. These tests show us where the imbalances are in the body, and if there are any toxicities or deficiencies, so we know exactly what we need to address for the body to thrive. And because you know your body better than anyone, I can help you to tune back into your own inner knowing of what you need to feel your best.

  • It is a comprehensive detoxification program that allows your body to reset and remove harmful toxins. Hidden toxicities is one of the #1 reasons I see for people struggling to regain their health & ideal body. That’s why this detox is so effective for improving energy, shifting excess weight, helping with sleep, mood, hormone and blood sugar. I consider it to be one of the single most important things someone could do for their health as it will right away alleviates the toxic load on the body that builds up over years. Email if you’d like more info about it, or you can watch a short video about it here.

  • I understand that someone may feel nervous about investing a sum of money into their health. For his reason, if you have not seen any improvements in your health within a couple months of working with me, I will refund your money. Provided you can show me you have fully committed to the wellness plans and protocols we have put in place to bring your body back into balance. I cannot refund the cost of lab testing.

    In my opinion, the cost of being sick or unwell is so much more than what you need to invest into your health & wellbeing. If you give your body what it needs and take away what it doesn’t- it will thrive! This is exactly what I will teach you, and support you with so you are set up for success for life.

  • Yes I do, but in the same way that you don’t go to the gym once to become fit & toned, I prefer not doing single sessions only as they don't provide the level of support needed to achieve sustainable results.

    I work intimately with my clients, and put my heart & soul into helping them get results by using a very detailed process where we find and address the root cause of their concerns. This can take time. I don’t believe in a band aid approach, or a one time silver bullet that fixes all, if you really want vibrant health that lasts long into the future.

    However, I do understand that not everyone can commit to a package or a program so I do have an option for an initial consultation, with follow ups.

  • I understand health can be an investment, especially with Functional testing and deeper healing protocols. So I will always do my best to make it work for you with payment plan options. Please ask for details. While I will do my best to accomodate your needs please note that any lab test fees are due within 7 days of the invoice (once the laboratory receives the sample) since these are paid to the lab. Payment by credit card is available on request.

It’s a great opportunity for us to connect and for you to ask any questions about how we would work together, which lab tests could benefit you and the process, before committing to a plan.
