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.

An Integrative Health Practitioner can support a wide range of health concerns, including chronic fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, skin problems, and more.

Whether you're managing chronic symptoms, dealing with stress, or simply looking to improve your overall wellness, we create personalized plans to help you feel your best.

While doctors and naturopaths often specialize in specific areas of medicine, an Integrative Health Practitioner takes a broader, whole-person approach. We focus on identifying the root causes of health issues and use a combination of nutrition, lifestyle changes, and natural therapies to create a tailored plan.

We do not diagnose or treat medical conditions but work alongside other healthcare providers to support your overall health journey.

Lab testing isn’t always required, but it can be helpful in uncovering imbalances or deficiencies that may not be obvious.

If testing is recommended, I will guide you through the process and explain the results clearly, ensuring your wellness plan is fully personalised to your needs, goals and lifestyle.

Yes! We believe in a collaborative approach to health and are happy to work alongside your doctor, naturopath, or other specialists. Our goal is to complement your existing care and provide additional tools to support your health and well-being.

During your first session, we’ll take a deep dive into your health history, lifestyle, and goals. Together, we’ll explore potential root causes of your symptoms and outline a personalised wellness plan tailored to your personal goals and your lifestyle … remember, what works best for YOU!

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.
