Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and depression are major health issues in our today’s high pressure world – and our diets and environments have a big role to play as well as the thoughts we think, our neurobiology and our past life experiences.
My approach
Anxiety and depression have multiple causes – and so a whole-person approach is essential. These “emotional” challenges aren’t just in your mind – they can also be exacerbated by other health issues.
I treat you as an individual – and also help you see the health traps of the systems you’re part of.
If you need help with managing anxiety and depression, then get in touch today through my CONTACT page.
