My Approach
How the work is structured
Every person begins in a different place, so the work is shaped around what is actually needed.
The clinical side may include nutritional strategy, symptom investigation, functional or genetic testing where useful, biochemical interpretation and targeted supplementation.
We may also explore the patterns beneath symptoms, including your relationship with food and your body, nervous-system responses and the effects of stress, shame, perfectionism or trauma.
Where appropriate, I may draw on breathwork, somatic practices and psychedelic or altered-state integration. These are not shortcuts, and they are never imposed. They are tools that can support regulation, insight and integration when they genuinely belong in the work.
What you can expect to gain
The aim is not a perfect body, a perfect diet or another permanent optimisation project but a clearer understanding of what may be driving your symptoms, a more sustainable relationship with food and your body, and a greater awareness of the patterns influencing how you think, feel and behave.
Over time, the intention is to help you feel more grounded, less reactive and better able to make decisions from clarity rather than fear or compulsion. When the clinical and personal work support each other, change is more likely to last.
Who this is for
This work is for people who have tried conventional or generic health advice and found it lacking. It is particularly suited to people whose health sits at the intersection of body, mind and identity and who want clinical rigour without having their lived experience ignored.
You do not need to arrive with a perfectly defined goal; you only need to be willing to look beyond surface-level fixes and explore the wider picture.
Start with a conversation
I work with a small number of private clients. A free 15-minute discovery call is an opportunity to tell me what is happening, ask questions and decide whether working together feels right for both of us.
Health is never only physical
Most health support asks you to change what you do. My work starts by understanding why you do it.
Food, symptoms and behaviour rarely exist in isolation. They are shaped by biology, stress, identity, relationships, culture, trauma and how safe we have learnt to feel in our bodies. Treating nutrition without considering this wider picture can produce short-term change, but it can also create another set of rules for someone already carrying too much.
My work brings together functional medicine, nutrition and trauma-aware healing. This allows the clinical and personal parts of health to be understood in the same conversation, rather than reducing someone to a collection of symptoms or forcing them into a standard protocol.
What makes this different
I am a Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner with more than fifteen years of clinical experience, postgraduate training in trauma and integrative approaches to mental health, and more than 400 hours of breathwork facilitator training.
This combination allows me to work with the clinical details while remaining attentive to the person experiencing them. Blood markers, symptoms and biochemistry matter, but so do body image, shame, perfectionism, identity and the ways we have learned to cope.
My own experiences of body dysmorphia, addiction, trauma and recovery have also shaped the way I work. They do not replace training or clinical judgement. They mean I understand that knowing what to do and being able to do it are not always the same thing.
My practice has particular depth in queer health, body image and the relationship between identity and wellbeing. This is where my clinical work, my writing and my lived experience naturally meet.
