WORK WITH ME
I work with clients in person in Sydney or online to understand the root cause of any dysfunction and use nutrition to rebalance.
My aim is to empower everyone to reconnect with their own body for the long run. The body is a phenomenal machine which provides us with all the knowledge to make the right choices and manage your health - we just need help in interpreting it.
why work with me
As a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I use over 300 signs and symptoms of the body to gain an understanding of how the body is functioning and what dysfunction and imbalances may exist. These signs and symptoms may be anything from dry skin on the bottom of your feet, to digestive symptoms and much more.
These signs and symptoms paint a picture of the body which enables us to understand why the symptoms presenting are occurring and come up with a bioindividual approach to resolve the dysfunction.
Food is the building blocks of the body and it can even impact our genetic expression. We therefore use dietary and whole food supplement recommendations to rebalance the foundations and over time restore function and endeavour to prevent other conditions arising in the future. We also incorporate lifestyle recommendations as these can impact the bodies ability to get the food into our bodies and much more.
what to expect
What you will experience from a nutritional therapy consultation may be different to what you have experiences with other healthcare practitioners. We use a bioindividual approach depending on each clients unique circumstances. The following is used to inform the approach taken:
Detailed health history and goals assessment
Food and mood journal analysis
Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire analysis - a questionnaire on 300 signs and symptoms of the body provides invaluable information on the functioning of the body and where dysfunction may exist. This is a powerful tool to help us prioritise our approach to your health journey in a very individual way. Completed online.
Digestive (stool) and food sensitivity testing* - completed in the comfort of your own home whether you are in Australia, the UK or anywhere else (please let me know if this is the case). You send the samples directly to the laboratory. Tests may include:
Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
Adrenal Profiles
Bacterial Overgrowth of the Small Intestine Breath Test
Food sensitivity testing (ALCAT)
Functional Clinical Assessment and Muscle Testing - this is where the body is evaluated to determine the status of different organs and systems of the body and to understand what nutrients are required to regain balance of the body (in person clients only)
Blood Chemistry Panel Analysis - I analyse blood chemistry panels from a functional nutritional perspective as another tool to understand exactly what is happening in your unique body and it helps inform the approach we take.
Salivary and Urinary Hormone Analysis* - completed in the comfort of your own home, whether in Australia, the UK or anywhere else in the world. Hormone panels analysed including adrenal (stress gland) hormones and male and female sex hormones. Exact testing methods and timing will depend on the individual client.
*depending on the individual circumstances of the client
As a result of the above you will be provided with bioindividual nutrition, supplement and lifestyle recommendations.
how and where
All new clients begin on my ‘Chill + Nourish’ Nourish Yourself to Health 6 sessions package.
The program is designed to take place over a 12 week period in person or online and includes:
1 x Initial Interview - 75 minutes
5 x Follow Up appointment - 45 minutes
For in-person clients the Follow Up appointments may include the Functional Clinical Assessment, an additional testing modality, in addition to the other laboratory functional testing that can be provided to all clients.
One the package is finished, clients can transition to single follow up appointments.
Why 6 appointments to start off with?
I want to understand deeply what has happened in your body over time and this takes more than one appointment. I use a mixture of client interviews and also functional testing which happens over the course of the three appointments which enables me to fully understand where you are at so to make the most suitable recommendations.
Dysfunction that exists is our body and shows up in the form of symptoms, will have taken time to arise. Unfortunately there is no such thing as a magic pill and it will take time to re-nourish our body and restore function. I am all about supporting you in the long term and not a quick fix!
In addition, healing happens in layers. As we work on one area, often another area pops up to work on. This is not a bad thing, we just need to keep on checking in and re-adjusting our approach.
Why 6 appointments to start off with?
My ‘Chill + Nourish’ Nourish Yourself to Health 6 sessions package follows the following phases:
PHASE 1: TRANSITIONING TO REAL FOOD
Think quick, easy and nourishing food that’s totally doable with your schedule (and tastes incredible too!)
PHASE 2: GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR SYMPTOMS
We’ll identify what’s really behind your symptoms (whether you’re having trouble losing weight, you have fatigue, acne, PMS, anxiety or something else) to help you build a strong, resilient body so you can get back to living your active, busy life.
(Further testing for food sensitivities, digestive function and hormone function can be carried out on an as-needed basis.)
PHASE 3: TAKE YOUR HEALTH TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Improve your gut health, find ways of moving that you actually enjoy and take your health to the next level - think more energy, confidence in your body, glowing skin and excitement about LIFE!
