Are you ready to improve your health?

Explore functional, holistic and integrative health 

Understand your body so you can support it with confidence.

When you can see what is affecting your energy, digestion, sleep, hormones, and metabolism, you can make choices that actually help. No guessing and no overwhelm, just clarity and tools that work with your biology.

Your body runs on patterns. Minerals, digestion, stress load, and metabolism are all linked. When one area is under strain, the others adapt. Instead of chasing symptoms, we look at the underlying pattern that shapes how you feel. This begins with simple testing and clear guidance.

ABOUT ME

I spent many years trying to understand my health when symptoms didn’t make sense and conventional explanations fell short. That led me to study how the body works as a connected system, where minerals, digestion, stress signals, metabolism, and emotional states all influence one another. When I began supporting my body at that deeper level, things finally started to shift.

I trained at the Academy of Healing Nutrition, where I learnt to view well-being through a holistic lens, recognising that physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health are linked. From there, I went on to advanced training in integrative health and functional medicine, continuing my professional development through CPD-accredited training. My studies have focused on physiology, mineral balance, adrenal and thyroid patterns, metabolic function, nutritional biochemistry, and the mind-body relationship.

I value clarity, curiosity, and working with the body rather than forcing or fighting it. I think the body can restore balance if we know what it needs and allow it to happen.

FOOD AS MEDICINE

Integrative Nutrition

 Food is a powerful tool for preventing and managing health conditions. It is important to choose nutrient-dense foods and pay attention to the quality of our diet. I have a holistic view of nutrition, taking into consideration not only the foods you eat but also your lifestyle, emotional well-being, and individual health needs. My approach recognises the influence of mental and emotional factors on dietary choices and health outcomes. Stress reduction, mindfulness, and emotional well-being are integral to a healthy lifestyle.

  • You don’t need fizzy pop or drinks loaded with sweetener, you just need better tools.

Here is one of them.

Sparkling water in a glass
Squeeze of fresh lemon or lime
1 teaspoon of glycine powder, stirred until clear

You end up with a cold, sweet, fizzy drink that feels like soda without the syrup, colouring, or artificial sweeteners.

Glycine is an amino acid, that is naturally sweet. Your body already uses it for collagen, gut support, nervous system calm, and it is even talked about as a powerful longevity supplement because of how it supports your cells over time. So you still get the bubbles and the “ahh” feeling, but in a way your biology actually understands.

If you know this exists, and you still reach for cans every day, it is no longer about “having no choice”
  • How did they convince people that eating real food is a fad diet?
  • Raise your hand if you grew up believing fat on your plate was dangerous but sugar cereal with a cartoon on the box was fine. 

At what point did that stop making sense to you?
  • We are taught to think nutrition is just protein, carbs, fats and calories, but your body is doing something much more interesting with every meal. It is deciding where that food goes. Into muscle, into repair work, or into long term storage. 

Same plate, very different outcome, depending on things like sleep, light, muscle, stress and minerals.

I have just shared a new subscriber post on this “nutrient traffic control” idea, where I break down how your body actually decides what to do with the food you eat, and why the same meal can feel amazing in one season of your life and draining in another.

  • UK media every year:

Every year the UK headlines act like they have just discovered winter.

“Arctic plume”, “coldest snap of the year”, dramatic photos, the lot.

It is November. It is Britain. Put a coat on, make a hot drink, and we will survive this terrifying event called seasonal weather.
