Since 2005 we’ve helped thousands of clients change their bowel habits and overall health & wellbeing

Are you struggling constipation, IBS, indigestion, bloating, chronic diarrhea? Do you have an autoimmune disease? Struggle with persistent pain and inflammation? Seeking answers but don’t know where to go? I’d love to help you get back on track and achieve the true health you desire.

Your digestion is the gateway to your overall health. If death begins in the colon so does health. The integrity of your digestive tract affects every part of your wellbeing and is crucial to disease mitigation or management.

My training is in science. I work using science and I am guided by my intuition. It is not unusual that I tell my clients things about their health just by looking at them or asking a few questions. I have helped thousands of people to regain their health and vitality.

No two people are the same. Therefore, you should not be treated the same. We all have our unique inputs and outputs. These are factors that require consideration when trying to achieve homeostasis (balance) in your body. Healing is a process. There is not a magic pill. Sometimes small changes can have major effects which have you feeling better in no time. Other times it is more complex and involved. We don’t just look at your physical body. We explore the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects that affect you as they are all related and can have profound effects on your digestive system and overall health.

What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutritional science in the promotion of optimum health, peak performance and disease prevention. Nutritional therapy encompasses the use of carefully compiled recommendations for diet and lifestyle in order to alleviate or prevent ailments and promote optimal health. 

These recommendations are carefully tailored to consider each client’s individual requirements and may include guidance on:

  • Promoting general health

  • Methods to support digestion and absorption

  • Avoidance of toxin and allergens

  • Appropriate use of supplementary nutrients.

In the consultation we will identify what elements of your diet, lifestyle or other factors may be contributing to your symptoms and ill-health. The initial consultation may take 1 – 1 .5 hours, during which time a thorough analysis of your current diet and lifestyle is performed. We may then recommend further laboratory tests to determine levels of nutrients, hormones, possible food allergies or intolerances. 

Individualized programs involve diet and lifestyle changes, using foods and specific nutrients as appropriate to help you achieve your optimal health, energy levels and feeling of wellbeing. It is important to understand we do not work in a simple diagnose and treat model. Change is a process. We utilize ongoing check ins and coaching as part of navigating lasting change.
