Precision Health Matters

We use a evidence-based functional medicine approach to health by identifying the root causes of health challenges, rather than merely managing symptoms. It considers genetics, nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental factors to optimise your health. I helps avoid the frustration and cost of trial and error.

Our approach coverts the latest evidence-based research with your personal health insights into practical, achievable health solutions tailored to your needs and lifestyle. This ensures you move beyond quick fixes and create lasting, sustainable results.

Personalised Health Coaching: A science based approach

Statistics show that Less than 10% or people succeed without proper support. Health coaching covers the gap between setting goals and achieving better health. The process provides one-on - one support with structured, realistic steps. It helps you address stress, and lifestyle factors, that are often barriers to achieving your goals.

Sometimes, starting with health coaching is the best first step to improving your health. It provides the support and structure needed to build a strong foundation before considering a functional medicine approach if necessary.

Through personalised coaching, I help you take actionable steps to improve your health, resilience, and achieve sustainable results

Personal and Professional Experience

With over 20 years in healthcare, I started as a specialist dietitian in clinical and sports nutrition and later expanded into health supplement development. Over time, I transitioned into functional medicine and personalised health coaching, combining these fields to offer a precision-based approach to health.

Like many, I’ve faced my own challenges with burnout, low energy, anxiety, and brain fog—reinforcing my understanding that even health professionals are not immune to health struggles. This experience has deepened my commitment to evidence-based, personalised strategies that promote lasting well-being.

My precision health practice is designed to support individuals with science-based, tailored solutions that help them think clearer, feel stronger, and live better.Health solutions should fit into your life, not the other way around.
