The body has an innate ability to heal itself, given the right circumstances. Those circumstances include dietary, environmental and lifestyle factors, some of which are within our control and some are not. A clinical, holistic nutritionist can help the body heal itself by identifying and removing obstacles that prevent the body from returning to health, and by encouraging the patient to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes nutritious foods, exercise, stress management techniques and other lifestyle modifications.
I believe that it is important to get to the root cause of your symptoms and not just treating the symptom. If we don’t find out why a symptom came up, it’s likely to return after a while because the cause of it has not been addressed

The Consultation
During the consultation, I will ask you lots of questions about your lifestyle, diet, personal and family medical history and we also explore the various body systems (e.g. digestive, endocrine, reproductive etc) to find out what may have caused or contributed to your disease. I look for signs of nutritional deficiencies and any other signs of the body not being in balance, and thus healthy. I will assess blood tests, if you have any recent ones, and may also suggest some additional diagnostic tests to you, if I feel that they will help us get to the root cause.
After the consultation, I work on your individual treatment plan that takes into account everything we have discussed. As a nutritionist, I focus on a wholefood nutritional approach, some lifestyle modification suggestions and, when necessary, some high quality, practitioner-only supplements. My aim is to bring your body back into balance and this is where nutrition plays a vital role. Every day, the body relies on macronutrients (protein, fats and carbohydrates) and micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) to perform a multitude of biochemical processes that are essential to life. When these nutrients are not consumed or consumed in incorrect ratios, low energy and disease can be the consequence. This is especially the case, when we are also stressed, don’t exercise enough, are exposed to lots of chemicals/pesticides etc. and don’t have enough joy in our lives, which is why I address lifestyle factors as well.
Ultimately I want to empower you to find out more about your condition and what you can do to improve your health.
