MY STORY

I've Walked This Path Too.

My work in health began long before I became a parent. Years of study and clinical practice gave me a deep understanding of the body, nutrition and functional wellbeing and a habit of looking past symptoms to the causes underneath.

Becoming a parent changed everything.

Like so many families, I went looking for answers when the standard explanations didn’t tell the whole story. There were diagnoses, labels and recommendations but no one could tell me why these challenges were happening, or whether there was more to understand beneath the surface.

That search led me into a world where movement, neurology, nutrition, gut health and nervous system development are all deeply connected.

The more I learned, the clearer it became: a child’s struggles are rarely one symptom, one behaviour or one diagnosis. They’re usually the result of several interconnected factors ones that deserve to be explored with curiosity, compassion and a whole-child lens. What started as a personal search became my professional focus.

Today I work with families who want deeper answers and practical solutions. Combining functional health principles, nervous system assessment and evidence-informed strategies, I help parents understand what their child actually needs and build a clear path forward.

Because I’ve sat where you’re sitting. I know the uncertainty, the overwhelm, and the drive to do everything you can for your child. My job is to make sure you feel informed, supported and genuinely in control as we do this together.

WHAT GUIDES US

My Values

root cause focus

I look past labels and symptoms to find what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

WHOLE CHILD APPROACH

Children aren’t a set of separate systems. Brain, body, emotions, nutrition, environment and nervous system all work together so that’s how I assess them.

EVIDENCE-INFORMED

I combine functional testing, clinical knowledge and emerging research with the real-world experience of parenting.

FAMILY-CENTRED CARE

When a child struggles, the whole family feels it. Support should be realistic, sustainable and built to fit everyday family life.

QUALIFICATIONS & APPROACH

Blending Science, Experience & Intuition

My approach combines:

✓ Functional Medicine Principles

✓ Functional Pathology Testing

✓ Nervous System Assessment

✓ Primitive Reflex Integration

✓ Gut Health & Nutrition Support

✓ Photobiomodulation (PBM)

✓ Lifestyle & Environmental Assessment

Every child arrives with a unique story. Instead of a one-size-fits-all protocol, I use detailed case history, testing and assessment to see the full picture, then build a personalised roadmap designed around your child’s specific needs, so they can thrive.

BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE

Is This You?

the right families:

• Parents of neurodivergent children who’ve been through mainstream therapy with little or no result

• Families who are done with symptom management and ready for root-cause work

• Parents ready to invest, financially and in the process for a different outcome

• Families who want a practitioner who’ll be straight with them, not just reassuring

who is not a good fit:

• Families who lead with price before understanding what the work involves

• Anyone looking for a single-session fix or a standard therapy block

• Families who aren’t ready to trust the process or follow the protocol

I’ll decline applications from families who aren’t ready, or aren’t the right fit. That’s not arrogance, it’s respect. For the families who are ready, and for the work itself.
