Integrative Health Practitioner + Chronic Illness Overcomer
At 15, my life changed overnight. I went from a typical teenager to struggling with relentless joint pain, extreme fatigue, and brain fog. I was sleeping over 12 hours a day, waking up exhausted, and losing weight rapidly. Anxiety and depression soon followed as I was ignored, labelled a “mystery” and withering away.
After too many doctors visits, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, IBS, Chronic Fatigue, AMPS, and POTS, and told I might not live past 28. That news ignited a fierce determination in me to find a way to beat the odds.
As a last ditch effort I went to a natural health practitioner who changed my life. I learned that my gut health was terrible; I was severely undernourished and my body was reacting to everything I ate. By addressing the root causes and restoring balance, I found myself walking again, energised and a whole new view on life.
Now, seven years into remission, I’m on a mission to help others find their path to wellness. You deserve to be heard and equipped with the resources to promote healing and balance within your body and treated more than a “mystery”. As an Integrative Health Practitioner it is my passion to make this as easy as possible for you!

FAQs

An Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP) is a health professional who takes a holistic and personalised approach to wellness. I focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of health concerns rather than just managing symptoms. By combining principles from functional medicine, nutrition, lifestyle coaching, and natural therapies, an IHP helps individuals achieve balance in their physical, emotional, and mental health.
IHPs often use tools like lab testing, dietary guidance, and tailored wellness plans to support the body’s natural ability to heal. This approach emphasises empowering clients to make informed decisions about their health and creating sustainable habits for long-term well-being. Whether you're dealing with chronic symptoms or looking to optimize your overall health, an Integrative Health Practitioner works with you to craft a plan that's as unique as you are.

The DESTRESS Protocol, developed by Dr. Stephen Cabral, is a comprehensive framework that addresses the key areas of health to support healing and overall well-being. It stands for:
Diet: Understanding how the foods you eat impact your health and tailoring your nutrition to support your unique needs.
Exercise: Creating a movement plan that suits your fitness level and health goals.
Stress Reduction: Identifying and managing sources of physical, emotional, and environmental stress.
Toxins: Reducing your exposure to environmental toxins and supporting your body’s natural detoxification processes.
Rest: Prioritizing restorative sleep and recovery to allow your body to heal and rejuvenate.
Emotional Balance: Cultivating mental and emotional well-being through mindfulness, meditation, and supportive practices.
Supplementation: Using targeted, science-backed supplements to fill nutritional gaps or support specific health concerns.
Success Mindset: Empowering you with the mindset and habits needed to achieve your health goals sustainably.
I use the DESTRESS Protocol as a foundational part of my approach because it addresses all aspects of health—physical, emotional, and environmental. By following this holistic framework, we can create a personalised plan that promotes healing and long term results.
