We have a lot in common. We both care about our clients and want them to be as healthy as possible.
My services are complementary to medical providers. I do not diagnose or recommend medical treatments. But rather I help clients adhere to their medical advice and treatment plans through coaching them to plan and track their health journey.
I spent eight years studying health and functional nutrition, learning from top experts in the USA. I began by certifying as a Health Coach with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, then earned a Master’s in Health Coaching, and certified as a USA National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach. To deepen my understanding of functional nutrition and how the body can heal itself through diet and lifestyle, I became a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner (FNLP).
I uniquely apply an Engineering mindset to health challenges, developed while achieving my Doctorate in Engineering. This enables me to think outside the square of conventional “one size fits all” health programs and create impactful healing programs for individuals.
My clients range from people with chronic illness and autoimmune conditions, through to people who are having issues with energy levels, concentration or just not feeling great.
I offer clients a gentle process of coaching diet and lifestyle changes. My Health Engineering programs are based on the latest science and teachings from the most well-respected functional medicine practitioners and nutritionists, alongside proven coaching tools.
I always start by focusing on gut health, a key determinant of overall health, as 70% of autoimmune cells reside in the gut. Gut health is significantly influenced by diet and lifestyle.
I recommend nutritional approaches tailored to individual health conditions, lifestyles, current diets, and preferences, advising clients to consult their Medical Providers before making any changes.
I specialise in helping clients develop new routines and perspectives on life choices. Together, we clarify their purpose, vision, and long-term goals. Clients set challenges to work on between sessions to support these goals.
Through my Health Engineering programs, clients partner with me for extended periods, often a year or two. We explore obstacles and barriers, developing techniques to overcome them.
My vision is to help clients achieve optimal health and thrive in all aspects of life.
