Personalised Consults
A structured starting point for complex, overlapping health issues
If you’ve found yourself here, it’s likely because parts of what you’ve read resonated — but you may still feel unsure where to start.
That’s exactly what this consult is for.
Rather than applying a protocol or focusing on a single system, the initial consultation is designed to make sense of how your symptoms fit together, identify which systems are most active or destabilised, and determine what needs to be stabilised first.
You don’t need to arrive with a clear diagnosis, a chosen pathway, or a plan.
That work happens here.
Who this consult is designed for
A personalised consult is appropriate if you:
Feel complex, reactive, or hard to categorise
Have complex, overlapping symptoms that don't fit neatly into one category
Have tried multiple approaches with partial or short-lived results
Want clarity and sequencing, rather than another layer of intervention
Are looking for a paced, systems-based approach to chronic or persistent symptoms
This is especially suited to people who feel worse when things are rushed or overly aggressive.
What happens in the initial consult
The first consultation for adults is a focused 60-minute session, while for children it’s 45 minutes.
Before we meet, you’ll complete an in-depth systems-level questionnaire. I review this in advance so that our time together is used for interpretation and sequencing rather than basic information gathering.
Its purpose is not to “fix” everything at once, but to establish:
What patterns are present
Which systems are under the most strain
What your body can currently tolerate
Where intervention would be unsafe, premature, or unnecessary
We’ll draw from your symptom history, health timeline, stress physiology, lifestyle factors, and any relevant testing you’ve already completed.
By the end of the session, you should have:
A clearer understanding of why things haven’t resolved yet
A sense of which systems need attention first
An agreed starting direction that respects your current capacity
What won’t happen
To reduce uncertainty, it’s often helpful to be explicit about what this consult is not.
There is no rushed protocol or supplement list
You won’t be asked to push through symptoms
You don’t need to decide on long-term care immediately
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach
Any recommendations are framed around safety, tolerance, and sequencing.
Hear from past or ongoing clients
"I was in so much pain I could barely walk when I first came to see Lou. We discovered SIBO was a significant contributor, addressed it through diet, and traced the whole thing back to a period of prolonged stress. I'm moving freely again, back to gentle exercise, and for the first time in a long time I feel like I can trust my body — and that I will be well again."
Client with polymyalgia rheumatica and SIBO"There were months I couldn't leave the house. Lupus, mould illness, endometriosis, Raynaud's — plus sensitivity to chemicals, fragrances, and bright lights that made the world feel genuinely hostile. I'm not 100% better. But I'm back at work, I'm socialising, I'm doing yoga, I'm spending time with friends. My energy is better and my sensitivities have reduced significantly. And for the first time in a long time, I'm actually excited about the future."
Woman with Lupus, mould illness, endometriosis and multiple chemical sensitivity"IVF is exhausting before you're even pregnant. Working with Lou through that process, my energy improved, my digestion settled, and when we fell pregnant in round two, I had the physical reserves to actually cope with it. I'm managing the pregnancy well and feeling better than I expected to. I don't think that's a coincidence."
Client who conceived during IVF"Painful periods, a short cycle, terrible PMS, low energy. All of it has shifted. My cycle is now 28 days, I have no period pain, my mood is even across the month, and I feel like myself again."

Depending on what emerges, next steps may include:
Further assessment or testing (where appropriate)
A staged support plan
Short-term stabilisation work before deeper intervention
Or, in some cases, reassurance that less needs doing than expected
In many cases, this ongoing work is best supported within a structured container.
Where appropriate, I may recommend continuing together over 90 days in a more guided way through my 90-Day Stabilisation Container.
This allows us to:
Introduce changes in the right sequence
Adjust based on your body’s response
Provide support between sessions
Reduce overwhelm and reactivity
We will determine whether this is the right approach for you during your initial consultation.
Ongoing support is always discussed collaboratively and never assumed — but where it is needed, it is structured to provide clarity, sequencing, and consistency.

Not sure if this is the right starting point?
If you’re unsure whether a full consult is appropriate right now, you can request a brief orientation call.
This is a short, non-clinical call intended to check suitability and answer practical questions.
It does not include assessment or treatment advice.
A note on pace and pressure
Many people I work with have been unwell for a long time.
There is no urgency to rush this process.
The aim is not to do more, faster — it’s to work at a pace your system can actually respond to.
