The REAL Methodology

It's a Process

Review

Laying the foundation for success. Seeing you as a whole person and really listening to what you have to say. Pulling together the threads of your health story and getting to the root cause issues.

Evaluate

This is the work I do between sessions. I get forensic and dig deep into what the upstream causes might be by de-coding your symptoms and mapping out the inter-connectedness.

Act

This is where you come in and where the shifts start to happen! Together we will agree a plan and then it's up to you to implement it, remembering that it is small shifts over time that make big changes happen. If something doesn't work, that's OK - it's all important learning, and we will try a different approach!

Learn

The objective is to learn what works for you, and what doesn't. We are all individual and this is about finding how your unique body responds to your lifestyle and environment and giving you the tools YOU need to achieve true health at a cellular level.

I have been where you are now. My symptoms may have been a bit different from yours, but I have definitely experienced the frustration and powerlessness that comes from feeling like rubbish and not knowing why. And I know (from my own experience and the experience of the hundreds of people I have helped) that you do not need to be stuck there forever.

In my late forties and early fifties, I struggled. I was overweight, depressed, in pain, boderline diabetic, struggling with digestive issues and permanently exhausted. But more than anything, I was scared. Scared that things would only get worse as I got older.

I had a choice. Either I could carry on exactly the same and allow things to deteriorate, or I could try and do things differently.

The fact is - what we are not changing, we are choosing.

And I no longer wanted to choose the things that led me to feeling so unwell and unhappy. And so I launched my self into a journey of discovery that not only transformed my life, it gave me the knowledge and experience to transform yours too.

I gave up my long-time corporate career to train in Functional Medicine and Behavioural Science. I wanted to really understand the 'what', 'why' and 'how' behind the small choices we make each day, and their consequences for how we feel.

The great joy is that this has enabled me to help hundreds of women, just like you, to reclaim their health and get back to feeling like themselves again.

Here's how my expertise can help you

Case mapping to connect your history, symptoms, nutrition, lab work, and lifestyle

Our bodies are complex and intricate and our symptoms do not happen at random. An in-depth understanding of causal factors behind today’s most prevalent chronic diseases and imbalances means we can get to the root causes of what's going on for you and deal with the problem at source.

The impact food sensitivities and nutrition play in health and healing

Creation of individual healing strategies based on your unique needs, goals, and genetic makeup means that we can unlock your unique 'health code'. No more fads or yo-yo dieting.

The Mind-Body connection

Coaching on how to leverage the powerful connections in mind, body and spirit for successful root cause resolution of disease so you can love your life for the long haul, feeling back in control and fully able to make the choices that serve you best

Empowering through education

Lab work analysis through the functional medicine lense (application varies by individual) to get to the truth of your situation, help you understand more about how your unique body works and interprets the world around it so we can develop targetted protocols to change your wellbeing for the better.
