FAQ
What is your specialist area?
Digestive related health issues are my area of speciality. Most cognitive and emotional issues have their root in the gut or severely impact digestion. My finding is that when we treat the gut, there are enormous physical and phycological gains.
How many sessions will I need?
With commitment, you could make some significant positive development in a matter of weeks. It’s really down to you having the right targeted approach and finding the will to follow the process. There is no one size fits all.
What do most people struggle with?
In today’s busy life, stress is the main trigger for many health issues. Stress affects the nervous system, which floods the body with damaging chemicals such as cortisol and adrenaline. Managing stress is often the most demanding of all.
Can I speed things up?
If, after an initial period of enquiry, what you are doing is not working, it is important to test. Always use the best laboratory you have access to. Not all testing is the same, and many inferior tests are joining the market. Cyrex is the world’s leader bar none.
How long will it take to get back into balance?
Returning your body to a state of balance is subjective; it depends on what symptoms you are dealing with. Getting good test results is essential to avoid unnecessary guesswork and can help reduce your recovery time.
What information will you ask me to provide?
This is a journey of self-discovery. The more you reveal about your pathology, the more likely we will get to the underlying cause. It is rarely one single trigger when it comes to health complications. It’s always helpful to sensitively review your life-health history.
Principals to live by
To share my favourite quote: ‘There’s nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which need not be done’
When it comes to maintaining and particularly rebalancing your health, you need a calculated approach. Below are some starting points.
Mind Body Matters
When it comes to health and well-being there is no separating the mind from the body. You must treat the whole to restore systemic balance.
Supplementation
When the body is out of balance, digestion is often weak. There may be cause for external supplemention to support repair.
Building Blocks
The pillars of good health involve a multifacted approach. The impact of emotional and social support is cruicial.
Diet and Nutrition
You are what you eat and this needs to be taken seriously. However, it may not be a simple as just getting your 5 day.
Relaxation
Meditation and mindfullness are the new buz words, but not always is it easy to aplly these techniques. Let me show you how.
Nature Bathing
The healing power of nature cannot be underestimated. Oxytocin, the healing hormone, is released when we harmonise with nature.

Adverse Childhood Events (ACE’s) are often the root of many health challenges. ACE’s cause mental stress and can lead to metabolic issues such as diabetes and heart disease. Understanding ACE’s can be a way of improving your health and wellbeingÂ

Yoga is not what you think
You don’t need to be flexible, have good balance or stand on your head to practice yoga. No, yoga is about acceptance. This is the first step to lasting change.
