Achieving optimal health is like solving a puzzle
I am here to uncover the hidden clues, decode your body's unique needs, and guide you towards a life of vibrant well-being. My passion lies in investigating the intricate connections between women’s health, nutrition, lifestyle, and your individual health goals to help you get back to the healthiest, most confident version of yourself.
Women’s health matters
The statistics are alarming
In the UK, 80% of women said that they are not listened to - or not believed - by healthcare professionals. The female health gap in the UK is the 12th largest globally. Researchers at University College London found that women make fewer visits to the GP, receive less health monitoring, and take more potentially harmful medication.
Meanwhile, research shows that when it comes to pain, women in emergency departments are less likely to be taken seriously than men, and are routinely prescribed less pain medication than men after surgery. It’s for this reason that it can take 7-8 years on average for a debilitatingly painful condition like endometriosis to be diagnosed, with 40% of women needing 10 or more GP appointments before being referred to a specialist.
Are we being dramatic? Is it all in our heads? No. We are being dismissed and our health concerns minimised. And that’s not OK.
I want to help redress this startling imbalance by working with women to understand the truth of what is happening to their bodies through thorough investigations of their symptoms, lifestyles and goals to deliver answers backed by research and evidence.
