After 20 years in clinical practice, I've had the privilege of supporting people with a wide range of health concerns.

While I enjoy working with everyone, my clinical focus has evolved over time.

Today, I work primarily with women and children, particularly in the following areas.

I regularly support children experiencing:

๐Ÿ‘‰ ADHD and focus challenges
๐Ÿ‘‰ Anxiety
๐Ÿ‘‰ Eczema and skin conditions
๐Ÿ‘‰ Gut issues such as constipation, bloating or digestive discomfort
๐Ÿ‘‰ Recurrent infections or immune concerns
๐Ÿ‘‰ Detoxification and mineral balancing

Children's health is an area I feel especially passionate about, as addressing underlying imbalances early can make a profound difference to wellbeing and development.

I also work closely with women experiencing:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Burnout and fatigue
๐Ÿ‘‰ Hormonal dysregulation
๐Ÿ‘‰ Digestive concerns
๐Ÿ‘‰ Detoxification and mineral balance issues

Many of the women I see are juggling busy lives, careers and families, and are looking for practical ways to restore their energy and feel like themselves again.

Over the years my continuing professional education has focused heavily on gut health and the microbiome, as the gut plays a central role in so many aspects of health.

Functional Testing

Where appropriate, I utilise functional testing to gain deeper insight into underlying drivers of symptoms, including:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Gut and microbiome testing
๐Ÿ‘‰ Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)
๐Ÿ‘‰ Genetic testing
๐Ÿ‘‰ DUTCH hormone testing

These tools allow us to move beyond symptom management and work towards understanding the underlying patterns influencing your health.

You've probably seen liver capsules recommended everywhere for pregnancy.

Iron!
B vitamins!
Ancestral wisdom!

But here's what no one's telling you.

There are three big problems with liver supplements that make them risky during pregnancy.

And they're not what you'd expect.

Swipe through to understand why I recommend my pregnant clients skip these (and what to take instead).

If you have been working on your gut health for a while and still feel bloated, sluggish, or constipated, it may be worth looking a little further upstream.

Sinus congestion is often overlooked, yet it can have a surprisingly powerful effect on gut balance.

When the sinuses are blocked or irritated, many people swallow mucus throughout the day.

This can introduce oral and sinus bacteria into the digestive tract, which may shift the gut microbiome and influence motility, inflammation, and overall comfort.

I see this pattern often in clinic, especially in children who cannot clear their nose effectively or adults who live with ongoing congestion.

This does not mean there is anything wrong with your body.

It simply highlights that your gut is responding to what is happening higher up in the digestive pathway.

When we support the sinuses, the oral microbiome, and the gut together, things often shift in a much smoother, more sustainable way.

โœจ Sometimes the missing piece in gut healing begins in the nose, not the abdomen.

If sinus issues are part of your health picture and your gut has not fully settled despite your best efforts, it may be time to explore this connection more deeply.

๐Ÿ‘‰ You can learn more about natural sinus and gut support via the link in my bio.

How to Work With Me!

I get asked this quite a bit, so here's a simple breakdown of how we can work together:

If you're new:

๐Ÿ‘‰ The Foundations Package is where most people start. We take the time to really understand what's going on, do any testing that's needed, and build a treatment plan that's tailored to you (not a generic protocol).

If you've already started working with me:

๐Ÿ‘‰ The Momentum Package is for ongoing care. We refine what's working, adjust what's not, and keep moving forward with your health goals.

Just need a one-off appointment?

๐Ÿ‘‰ You don't need a package. You can book an Individual Consult anytime. Sometimes one session is all you need to get clarity on something specific.

How to book:

Just a quick update:

I'll be away from 5 April โ€“ 21 April and returning to the clinic on 22 April.

Which means:

โœ”๏ธ Limited appointments left before I go
โœ”๏ธ If you're currently working with me and need supplements during this time, please place your order before I leave so you're not caught short.

I'm back on 22 April, but if you need support before then, grab one of the last remaining spots.

If you're constantly bloating after meals, second-guessing every bite, and wondering what you did "wrong" this time... you're not alone.

It's not about willpower or cutting out more foods.

It's about understanding which foods are actually triggering your symptoms - so you can stop guessing and start eating with confidence again.

That's exactly why I created my Low FODMAP Nutrition Guide & Recipe Booklet.

Inside, you'll find:
โœ”๏ธ A clear breakdown of high and low FODMAP foods for all 6 groups
โœ”๏ธ Simple, step-by-step guidance on elimination and reintroduction (without the overwhelm)
โœ”๏ธ A full week of gut-friendly meal ideas that still feel like real food
โœ”๏ธ Food and symptom trackers to help you identify your personal triggers

This isn't about restriction forever.

It's about discovering what works for YOUR body so food can feel supportive instead of stressful.

Ready to say goodbye to the bloating and guesswork?

Here's what used to confuse my IBS clients:

They'd start a low FODMAP diet, but had no idea what FODMAP actually stood for.

They just knew they had to avoid certain foods.

So part two in my IBS series is a quick breakdown of what those letters actually mean.

FODMAP stands for:
- Fermentable
- Oligosaccharides
- Disaccharides
- Monosaccharides
- Polyols

Each of these is a type of carbohydrate that ferments in your gut, causing bloating, pain, and gas if you have IBS.

The food groups under each:

Fructose โ†’ apples, pears, honey
Fructans โ†’ garlic, onions, wheat
Galactans โ†’ chickpeas, lentils, beans
Lactose โ†’ milk, yoghourt, soft cheeses
Polyols โ†’ cherries, mushrooms, cauliflower, sugar-free sweeteners

So when you're on a low FODMAP diet, you temporarily remove these foods to calm your system.

Then you reintroduce them one category at a time to work out which ones are YOUR triggers.

Not everyone reacts to all of them.

That's why the reintroduction phase matters so much.

In my next video, I'm talking about the biggest mistake people make when they start this diet (and it's not what you'd think).

Save this if you're working through IBS or know someone who is.

Getting kids to take supplements doesnโ€™t have to be a daily battle.

Because letโ€™s be honest, most supplements that really do the job often come with a taste or texture that kids arenโ€™t thrilled about (and parents arenโ€™t thrilled about the struggle, either!)

Thatโ€™s why I put together some simple, practical ideas to make supplement time easier, calmer, and even a little fun.

From smoothies and gummies and frozen treats, these small tweaks can transform resistance into routine.

Remember: every child is different.

Some ideas will click instantly, others may take a little experimenting. The goal is to make supplements stress-free so they can do the healing work theyโ€™re meant to.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Swipe through for all my tips and see which ones your child loves best.

You (or your child) may have had H. pylori for years without knowing.

So why does it suddenly start causing symptoms?

The truth is: H. pylori often needs a โ€œperfect stormโ€ to become problematic.

And many of those storm clouds are part of everyday life:

โš ๏ธ Regular use of anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen
โš ๏ธ Frequent alcohol or smoking
โš ๏ธ Poor sleep and high stress
โš ๏ธ A diet low in fibre and high in processed foods

When these factors pile up, they weaken your gutโ€™s natural defences and thatโ€™s when H. pylori can start irritating the stomach lining, triggering symptoms like pain, nausea, reflux, or bloating.

The good news?

Small, steady shifts in your daily routine can create a more gut-friendly environment, helping calm inflammation and reduce symptoms naturally.

This is a key step I explore with my clients before we ever jump to antibiotics.

Your gut lining is designed to stay strong and selective.

It keeps irritants out and allows only what your body needs to pass through.

When oral bacteria become imbalanced, they can travel into the digestive tract and irritate the gut lining.

Over time, this may weaken the barrier and increase permeability, which can contribute to
๐Ÿ‘‰ bloating
๐Ÿ‘‰ inflammation
๐Ÿ‘‰ more food reactions than usual.

This pattern is more common when there is gum inflammation, chronic sinus congestion, or ongoing throat issues.

Supporting oral microbial balance can create a calmer environment throughout the whole digestive system and help protect gut integrity.

โœจ A healthy mouth is an important part of a healthy gut.

We often think we need to add more to make things work better.

But when it comes to breastfed infants, sometimes the most powerful support is simply letting nature do what it was designed to do.

Breast milk contains prebiotics that feed your babyโ€™s own unique microbiome, no extra probiotic strains needed.

Unless prescribed by a qualified practitioner, probiotics are best avoided in healthy, breastfed infants.

Can you manage H. pylori without harming your gut?

Yes!

And nature has some beautiful, evidence-backed options.

These foods and herbs donโ€™t just fight the bug, they help calm inflammation, support the gut lining, and restore balance.

Thatโ€™s a win-win for your gut.

Hereโ€™s what I often include when creating a gentle, gut-focused plan:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Green tea
๐Ÿ‘‰ Broccoli sprouts
๐Ÿ‘‰ Garlic
๐Ÿ‘‰ Chamomile
๐Ÿ‘‰ Cranberries
๐Ÿ‘‰ Cabbage juice
๐Ÿ‘‰ Berries and culinary herbs

Remember, the goal is not just to โ€œkill offโ€ H. pylori but to support your whole digestive system in the process.
