Personalised Nutrition, Gene-Based Health Coaching & IFS Counselling to Help You Feel Your Best
Get expert guidance on nutrition, genetics, and mental health, so you can take control of your well-being and find balance in your body and mind.
Are you navigating fatigue, inflammation, autoimmune symptoms, or mental health challenges and wondering how it all connects? Or perhaps you’re seeking clarity on how your emotional wellbeing, daily habits, and personal biology shape your health? If so, you’re in the right place.
I take a person-centred, trauma-informed, and neuroaffirming approach to health care — because your story, experiences, and environment matter just as much as your physiology. Together, we’ll explore how your lifestyle, stress responses, nutrition, and emotional health interact with your body’s unique systems.
While your genetics can offer valuable clues, they don’t define your destiny. Through supportive, collaborative consultations, I offer tailored nutrition and lifestyle approaches, nervous system regulation strategies, and Internal Family Systems counselling to help you understand the deeper connections between mind, body, and health. Whether you’re managing autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, digestive concerns, or mental health struggles, I’m here to help you uncover practical, sustainable ways to feel more in control of your health and wellbeing.
MY PROCESS
How I Work With Nutrition & Functional Medicine Clients
-
This is a comprehensive session designed to understand your full health picture.
During your initial consult, I will:review any blood tests, medical reports, or previous functional testing (you can also send these to me before the appointment for review)
take an in-depth symptom history and timeline
assess patterns across systems (gut, hormones, immune, mitochondrial, neurological, etc.)
identify likely drivers of your symptoms
discuss which functional tests (if any) are clinically relevant (e.g., Hair Mineral Analysis, Organic Acids Test, microbiome testing, hormonal testing, etc.)
Outcome:
You will leave with a clear understanding of possible underlying issues and the recommended next steps in testing.Booking expectations:
Most clients will need additional testing before we can proceed to treatment.
Your next appointment is typically scheduled once test results have been received or are in progress. -
During this stage, functional tests are completed and results are returned.
You may also be asked to track symptoms, complete questionnaires, or gather additional data.No appointments are usually needed during this period unless something changes or you require support.
-
Once all relevant results are available, we meet for a detailed review session. This is where I:
explain all test findings in a clear, accessible way
integrate testing with symptoms and case history
map out the physiological mechanisms behind your presentation
begin constructing a personalised, staged treatment plan
discuss any further testing that may be needed (now or later)
outline the expected timelines for improvement
Outcome:
You leave with a structured plan tailored to your genetics, physiology, symptoms, and test findings. -
Most clients require at least 6–9 months of focused treatment, especially for:
gut dysbiosis
mitochondrial dysfunction
hormonal dysregulation
immune issues
histamine or mast cell disorders
methylation and genetic variations
chronic stress or trauma-related physiology
During this time, I recommend regular check-ins every 4–6 weeks.
Types of check-ins:
30-minute sessions for early-phase treatment updates or if symptoms shift
15-minute sessions for ongoing protocol adjustments, progress tracking, or transitioning into new stages of treatment
These sessions ensure your protocol remains safe, effective, and tailored to your progress.
Booking expectations:
To stay on track, we will book the next check-in at the end of each appointment.
This avoids delays, allows us to monitor progress consistently, and ensures the best outcomes. -
Many clients continue working with me for up to two years, particularly for:
complex gut issues
autoimmune or chronic inflammation
MCAS
significant nervous system dysregulation
long-term genetic or metabolic vulnerabilities
trauma-related physiology needing both nutritional and therapeutic support
After the initial intensive phase, appointments usually become less frequent (every 8–12 weeks), unless:
your protocol changes
you transition to a new stage of treatment
we uncover a new underlying issue
life stressors flare symptoms
additional testing becomes appropriate
-
Because I’m also an IFS-trained counsellor, you may choose to integrate IFS or therapeutic work alongside nutritional treatment. This can be especially helpful for clients with:
complex trauma
stress-related physiological issues
chronic illness that interacts with emotional patterns
nervous system dysregulation
body-based anxiety or shutdown responses
These sessions are offered separately and can be added at any stage.
How I Work With IFS & Therapeutic Clients
-
This first session gives us the space to get to know each other in a meaningful way.
During this appointment, we will:explore what has brought you here
discuss your current concerns, challenges, and emotional landscape
begin mapping the broad contours of your internal system
identify any urgent needs or areas requiring immediate support
establish the foundations of trust, clarity, and collaboration
IFS work relies on a strong therapeutic alliance.
This longer first session ensures you feel seen, understood, and safe before we begin deeper work. -
(60-minute sessions)
In the first 3–4 appointments, we move slowly and intentionally.
This is where I:get to know the different parts of your internal system
learn how your protectors show up and what they’re trying to manage
understand your nervous system patterns
build the therapeutic alliance your system needs to feel safe
develop a shared language and map of your inner world
These early sessions are essential.
They give your parts time to learn that they can trust me, trust the process, and trust that I can hold them gently when big emotions arise.This is not a phase to rush — it is the foundation that allows the deeper work to unfold safely.
-
(Ongoing 60-minute sessions)
Once your system feels grounded and understood, we can begin deeper IFS processes, including:
direct part-to-Self connection
witnessing exiles
unblending from protectors
accessing core burdens
unburdening painful beliefs, emotional wounds, or body-held memories
integrating new feelings of clarity, safety, and agency
This is the heart of the work.
It’s also where trust and therapeutic presence matter most — your system needs to know I can hold you fully, especially when vulnerable or young parts are ready to be seen.IFS is not a rapid technique.
It is deep, relational, and respectful of your psyche’s natural pace.Most clients begin unburdening work around session 4 or 5 — sometimes earlier, sometimes later — depending on what their system needs.
-
(Weekly or fortnightly 60-minute sessions — adjustable as needed)
After unburdenings or deeper work, we move into a supportive integration phase where we:
stabilise new internal patterns
help protectors shift into new roles
support your nervous system to adjust
strengthen your connection with Self
reinforce emotional clarity and inner leadership
This phase is just as important as the deep work itself.
Clients commonly continue therapy for 6–18 months, depending on:
the complexity of their trauma history
how many parts are seeking attention
their life stability and external stressors
personal goals for healing and growth
Some clients stay longer, not because they “need therapy” but because they find the internal work deeply supportive, empowering, and transformative.
-
Once major unburdenings have occurred and your system feels settled, we may:
reduce session frequency
move to monthly or occasional check-ins
shift focus toward integration, Self-leadership, and life direction
This phase is flexible and tailored to your needs.
-
IFS is relational, not mechanical. The work unfolds through collaboration, trust, and shared intention. For the process to be safe and transformative, we both hold an important role.
My commitment to you:
to offer a safe, calm, grounded presence
to honour the pace set by your system and never push you into material you’re not ready for
to support your nervous system as much as your mind
to meet every part of you with compassion, curiosity, and patience
to hold the space fully when deep unburdenings arise
What I ask of you:
show up with openness and curiosity
allow the process to unfold at its natural pace
attend sessions consistently, ideally weekly or fortnightly
protect space for integration after deeper sessions
communicate with me about what’s arising between appointments
Deep therapeutic change happens when there is trust, safety, and time.
Your system deserves to be met gently and steadily — and IFS works best when we walk this path together with intention.
