Nourish your health from soil to soul

It all depends! Chronic health conditions have taken time to manifest in your body and will take time to repair. This way of healing takes time and commitment to changing the habits and conditions that created your ill health. However, this doesn’t mean you need to keep seeing me regularly or indefinitely. Often an initial block of regular sessions will get you into better habits and lay the foundations for increased health and then either you will feel confident to go onwards on your own or you might want to check in once every few months to a year to fine tune your focus. This is why I offer different packages. Ideally, for this approach, seeing each other every 2-3 weeks for 6-9 months is best but I can tailor what I offer to what works for you.

Food is meant to bring joy and enjoyment into our lives not be another source of stress. I will never start by forbidding foods, rather together we will focus on increasing nutrient dense foods in your diet . However, sometimes our tastes are not good for our health and if this is the case I will work with you to find delicious alternatives to the foods you enjoy that aren’t doing your body any favours. So, yes, sometimes some foods will need to be taken off the menu. Often this doesn’t have to be forever, just long enough for your gut to heal and your body to find a better balance and after this some foods can be re-introduced and eaten occasionally.

Although I do have experience with various conditions I haven’t specialised in any specific health area. If you feel your condition is very complex or you’ve tried a lot of different approaches that haven’t worked get in touch and we can talk about how and if I can help you. I can often refer you to practitioners who have specialised training and experience in specific things. However, the other side to this is that many things come back down to the basics of cellular health and by putting these foundational practices into place you can make a big difference to any health condition.

We will always work with the understanding that your GP or medical practitioner will be treating your health condition. My support can work alongside this and guide you back into general wellbeing and health.

You will have filled out a health questionaire and general diet information before we meet. Then in your first session, we’ll go more in-depth into your health history, current symptoms, diet, lifestyle, and goals. From there, I’ll create a personalised plan with clear, practical steps to support your wellbeing. Follow-up sessions add new layers to your treatment plan, allow us to track progress and make adjustments depending on your responses.

Nutrition isn’t like many other alternative health modalities that offer support during face to face time but nothing otherwise. A lot of background research, writing up detailed and personalised plans and recommendations, sending out recipe suggestions and other information goes into each session. Much of the work is ‘behind the scenes’!

Each package includes -

• detailed interpretation of past and current health issues, identifying personalised key areas to focus on for best results

• interpreting and logging food diaries and any blood or functional test results you already have

• screening current and proposed supplements and medications for drug interactions and best efficacy

• gathering resources and recipes for all recommendations so that implementing my plan/suggestions is as easy as as possible

• identifying and ordering functional and blood testing needed for further clarity

• any further research needed for your specific health picture

• ongoing interpretation of new data, symptoms and challenges implementing plan

• ongoing communication, support and trouble shooting

During our ongoing face to face time we cover current symptoms, check in what has changed, or not, since we last met and how easy it has been to implement any suggestions. After each session I send you a report including all new recommendations for diet, lifestyle and supplements covered in the session as well as any resources you might need in order to implement these easily.

I can offer discounts on supplements, give you recipe ideas and other resources and am available for limited email contact (up to two responses weekly as needed) between sessions if you need advice. New symptoms or queries will be covered in ongoing sessions.
