Health Help
I can help you with a range of issues if conventional medicine isn’t working for you – or if you want to minimise the medications you’re taking.
I treat the whole person, not just a specific health “problem”. I believe that humans are organic beings, not machines that break down. As organic systems, it’s been my experience that there’s a lot we can do to improve the system – integrated, holistic solutions that minimise the need to medicate “problems”.
So while people come to me for “problems” ranging from chronic and acute pain to blood pressure, I explore more widely for solutions with the goal of maximising their wellbeing and minimising their medications – not just reducing their symptoms.
Key health problems I work with include:
- Anxiety and depression
- Acute and chronic pain and inflammation
- Blood pressure and circulatory system health
- COVID and long COVID
- Diabetes prevention and minimisation
- Gut health, indigestion and reflux
- Respiratory issues including asthma and bronchitis
- Women’s health, like PMS, period issues, perimenopause and menopause
How else can I help you optimise your well being?
I work with a whole range of tricky health issues – including those below.
