Specialisations

I cater to all your health concerns, as each person is treated holistically and individually, however, I have a special interest in the following areas:

• PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), menopause complaints, fertility problems, and other hormonal imbalances ( Natural medicine can be of great help in balancing hormones to help reduce problems such as weight gain, hair problems, acne, mood swings, hot flushes, irregular cycles, sugar cravings, trouble conceiving. Saliva hormone testing is available.)

• Autism, ADHD, behaviour problems (There are many dietary interventions and natural treatments that can improve these conditions. I can also monitor the health and nutrition of those following the gluten/casein free diet for autism.)

• Children's health (eczema, asthma, behaviour, learning difficulties, recurrent infections, glue ear, allergies)

• Digestive problems (indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease) (The causes of digestive disturbances are always investigated and treatment is aimed at optimizing natural digestive processes while reducing uncomfortable symptoms, and dealing with specific issues such as inflammation in Crohn's disease. Food allergy testing is also available.)

• Fat Loss and weight management (I will look into the underlying causes of your weight gain and recommend the most appropriate treatment. No fad diets or rapid weight loss diets are recommended. I can also offer a specific, scientifically designed fat loss program that not only encourages fat loss, but optimises the health of your whole body at the same time. This program is available with or without a consultation, however if you are located near the clinic I would recommend an initial consultation first. If you are not local, I would recommend a doctors check up and blood pressure check before starting the program, and after a couple of months on the program. To request an email information pack with details about the program and costs involved, please contact me.)

• Low GI (glycaemic index) diet advice (beneficial for everyone, especially those at risk of/with diabetes or insulin resistance, PCOS, weight problems, high cholesterol, acne.)

• Colds, flu, glandular fever (Natural medicine can provide significant support for the immune system to help your body deal with infections and improve recovery rate. Treatment is best started as early as possible into the infection.)

• Chronic Fatigue, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis , high cholesterol (The many possible causes of fatigue are always looked into as it always occurs for a reason. There are proven natural treatments for arthritis and high cholesterol that can significantly improve quality of life and reduce health risks. I can help with the correct dosages for these treatments as it is better to avoid self prescribing.)

• Hepatitis Support (I can help you enhance your immune system through a combination of nutritional, supplemental, and herbal treatments, and can work safely alongside any existing medications you are taking for your condition.)

• Pregnancy health and nutrition (I can help make your pregnancy as comfortable as possible and optimize the health of you and your baby through nutritional advice and selected safe natural treatments. Specific advice can be given for various pregnancy problems such as morning sickness, infections, fatigue, gestational diabetes, and pre-eclampsia.)

• Preventative health advice (eg: osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease, dementia) (Prevention is often overlooked as people tend to wait until they get sick before doing something about their health. Natural medicine and nutrition play an important role in reducing the risk of various diseases for everyone, especially those with a family history of certain conditions. I can also provide supportive treatments to use alongside medical treatments for those who have a diagnosed medical condition such as the ones mentioned above.)

• Stress related problems (I will look for possible causes to your stress problems and provide various options for treatment depending on your individual needs. Many natural treatments are quite effective for problems such as depression and anxiety, and advice can be given about various mind-body techniques.)

• Optimal athletic performance (Sport, training, competing, athletes, dancers. Nutritional advice, and recommendations on safe and approved supplements to give you the winning edge. Also, advice for recovery between training sessions.)

More information on Live Blood Analysis:

Hemaview Live Blood screening lets you take a real part in identifying and understanding your health. Through a viewing of your living blood, more effective health strategies can be tailor made for you. Based on one of the oldest, most highly developed of medical sciences, haematology, Hemaview allows the practitioner to screen for a number of risk factors that may be affecting your blood. Live blood analysis shows your health at the cellular level, and can indicate certain processes in the body such as inflammation and oxidative stress. The need for higher amounts of certain nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12, folic acid, and essential fatty acids may be visible, in terms of the shape, size, and cell membrane sructure. The types of cells that are seen in the blood through Hemaview are; red blood cells, white blood cells (immune system), and platelets.

By using Hemaview screening, you are able to see the effects of your diet and lifestyle on your cellular health, and subsequent screenings can be used to monitor the success of changes in lifestyle and diet, as well as natural treatments.
