What I can help with
Your symptoms are clues. I follow them back to the source.
I bring together functional medicine, personalised herbal prescriptions and an understanding of how the nervous system influences wider health. My particular interest is in persistent and overlapping symptoms - exploring connections between sleep, digestion, hormones, immunity, energy and pain.
Drawing on my background in neuromuscular therapy and clinical neurochemistry, I look at how these systems interact and develop a practical plan tailored to you.
You may be dealing with several symptoms at once, or finding that problems keep returning despite treatment. If your difficulties span several areas or don’t fit neatly into one category, we can explore them together.

How it works
STEP 1: A DETAILED ONLINE CONSULTATION
We spend at least 60–90 minutes exploring your symptoms, health history, current medication and daily routines. I listen, enquire and investigate.
STEP 2: UNDERSTANDING THE PATTERN
After the session I assess how different aspects of your health may be connected and explain the priorities for your support.
STEP 3: YOUR PERSONALISED PLAN
Your personalised plan may include an individual herbal prescription, nutritional guidance and practical support for sleep, movement and daily routines. I explain the priorities and why each recommendation may help. Where targeted testing would meaningfully inform your care, we discuss the options and costs.
STEP 4: FOLLOW-UP AND ADJUSTMENT
We review your progress, discuss what has changed and adjust the plan as needed.
I offer a great combination of clinical experience and analytical precision. Before becoming a practitioner, I worked as a barrister. Learning to examine evidence carefully, question assumptions and recognise patterns still shapes how I work. I take time to investigate persistent symptoms and understand how different aspects of your health may fit together..
