My Approach

Most health support asks you to change what you do. This work starts with understanding why you do it.

Food, symptoms, and behaviour rarely exist in isolation. They sit within wider patterns of stress, identity, trauma, and how safe a body has learned to feel over time. Treating nutrition without addressing those patterns tends to produce short-term results at best and, at worst, adds another layer of pressure to someone already carrying too much.

My work brings together functional medicine, mindset, and trauma-informed healing into a joined-up approach that considers the whole person not as an abstract principle but as the actual basis of every clinical conversation.

What makes this different

I am a Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner with over fifteen years of clinical experience, postgraduate training in trauma and integrative approaches to mental health, and more than 400 hours of breathwork facilitator training. That combination is unusual. It means I can hold both the clinical and the personal dimensions of health without reducing one to the other.

I also bring lived experience. My own history of body dysmorphia, addiction, and trauma is not incidental to this work. It shapes how I hold it, what I notice, and what I understand to be possible.

Underpinning all of this is an approach I think of as scientific philosophy, applying rigorous evidence and clinical reasoning to questions that are fundamentally human. Health is not a set of metrics to optimise. It is a relationship with yourself, your history, and your body, and it deserves to be treated with that kind of seriousness and curiosity.

My practice has a particular depth in queer health, body image, and the intersection of identity and wellbeing. This is not a niche I arrived at strategically. It is where my clinical work, my writing, and my own life converge.

How the work is structured

Some of what we do together is clinical and evidence-based: nutritional strategy, functional and genetic testing, biochemical interpretation, and supplementation. Some of it is reflective and embodied: exploring the patterns beneath symptoms, working with nervous system responses, and understanding what has been carried and why.

Where appropriate, I draw on breathwork and somatic practices to support regulation and integration, particularly where stress, shame, or trauma are present and where cognitive approaches alone have not been enough.

What you can expect to gain

People who work with me over time tend to develop a clearer understanding of what is actually driving their symptoms, rather than chasing surface-level fixes. They build a more sustainable and honest relationship with food, their body, and their own patterns of thinking and behaviour. They often describe feeling more grounded, less reactive, and more able to make decisions from a place of clarity rather than fear or compulsion. The clinical work and the personal work reinforce each other, and the changes tend to hold.

Who this is for

People who have tried the conventional approach and found it lacking. People navigating health challenges that sit at the intersection of body, mind, and identity. People who want to be understood rather than assessed, and who are ready to look at the wider picture rather than just the symptoms.

If that sounds like you, the best place to start is a free discovery call.
