FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE · PSYCHOLOGY · HEALINGHealth Is Never Just Physical
I work with people who want to go beyond managing symptoms. Drawing on more than fifteen years of clinical experience, I explore how our physiology, experiences and patterns of behaviour influence our health and capacity to heal.
Work With Me
My practice brings together clinical expertise and integrative approaches to healing. Whether you're seeking support with physical health or looking to explore emotional patterns and personal experiences, there are different ways we can work together.
Functional Medicine & Nutrition
A personalised, evidence-informed approach to understanding your health beyond individual symptoms. Drawing on clinical nutrition and functional medicine, I explore your health history, physiology, lifestyle and relevant laboratory findings to understand what may be influencing your wellbeing. From focused consultations to more comprehensive clinical programmes, the work combines detailed investigation with practical, individualised strategies for improving your health.
Healing & Somatic Work
A personalised approach to healing that brings together breathwork, somatic practices, psychological exploration and energy-based and shamanic-informed work. Drawing on my background in addiction counselling, trauma and integrative healing, I work with people exploring emotional difficulties, longstanding patterns, body image, stress and the effects of past experiences. Sessions may involve conversation, body-based practices or deeper experiential work, creating space for greater self-awareness, emotional processing and meaningful change.

About Daniel
I'm Daniel O'Shaughnessy, a nutritionist, Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner, author and breathwork facilitator with more than fifteen years of clinical experience.
My career began in addiction counselling before developing into nutrition and functional medicine. Over time, my work expanded through postgraduate study of trauma, psychedelics and integrative mental health, alongside extensive training in breathwork and somatic approaches.
Today, I bring these different perspectives together in my private practice, exploring the relationship between physical health, the nervous system, personal experiences and the processes through which people heal and change.
Speaking
I speak at conferences, workplaces and events about the relationship between health, psychology, identity and healing. Drawing on clinical experience, research and lived experience, I explore the factors that shape our wellbeing and our capacity to change.
My talks cover subjects including body image, perfectionism, queer health, trauma and the psychology of healing, challenging conventional ideas about wellbeing and encouraging more thoughtful conversations about what it means to be healthy.
