Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which package is right for me?
Book a free discovery call and we’ll discuss your health goals and which package would best support you.
What kind of testing do you use?
When clinically indicated, I use functional laboratory testing to uncover what standard tests miss. I work with leading laboratories in the UK and Cyrex Labs in the US. The most common tests I recommend are:
- DUTCH Complete – comprehensive sex and adrenal hormone analysis
- Comprehensive stool testing – gut microbiome, bacterial balance, parasites, inflammation, digestive function
- Vaginal microbiome testing – often critical for recurrent infections
- Organic Acids Test (OAT) – nutrient deficiencies, mitochondrial health
- Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) – mineral imbalances, heavy metal toxicity
- Thyroid panels – beyond standard TSH testing
- Cyrex arrays – autoimmunity screening and triggers
Testing recommendations are personalised based on your symptoms and health history. Not everyone needs testing, but when we do test, we test strategically.
Are tests included in package prices?
Laboratory tests are not included in package prices, as testing costs are set by the laboratories themselves and vary depending on which tests are recommended. However, interpreting your test results and incorporating them into your plan is included as part of your consultation time within your package.
Can nutritional therapy help me if I'm on HRT?
Absolutely. I can help you feel like yourself again while on HRT. I assess your full hormone status and optimise your detoxification pathways to support your body’s processing of external hormones, helping you get the most benefit from your treatment while minimising any side effects.
Can you help me if I'm on medication?
Yes. I’m trained to work alongside your medical team and can communicate with your GP when appropriate. Many of my clients are on medication, and my role is to support your overall health in a way that complements your medical treatment.
When should I start consultations before trying to conceive?
For most women, I recommend starting at least 6 months before you plan to conceive. This gives us time to assess and optimise your entire health and microbiome, which influences not just a healthier pregnancy and baby, but future generations through epigenetics and microbial inheritance. If you have complex health issues, starting earlier may be beneficial.
I've been told IVF is my only option. Could nutritional therapy help me conceive naturally?
Nutrition isn’t just helpful for conception – it’s essential. Your microbiome influences egg quality, embryo quality, and implantation. Toxins, chronic inflammation, infections, and nutrient deficiencies all affect fertility. I work with women to optimise their entire health, giving them the best possible chance of natural conception. Many of my clients have conceived naturally after being told IVF was their only option.
How does payment work?
Payment for your chosen package is required prior to your first consultation. This secures your appointment time and allows me to review your health questionnaire and prepare fully for our session. Payment plans are available – please discuss this with me during your discovery call or when booking.
Do I need to commit to a full package?
Packages are designed to give you the time and support needed for real, lasting change. Most clients need ongoing support to address root causes and see sustainable results. However, if you’re unsure, we can start with an initial consultation and discuss next steps from there. I also offer one-off consultations if you’re seeking a second opinion or health MOT.
Are consultations online or in person?
All consultations are conducted online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams, so it doesn’t matter where you are in the world. Initial consultations for clients in Hampshire, UK, may be offered in person where appropriate.
What if I need to reschedule?
Please provide at least 48 hours’ notice for free rescheduling. Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice incur a 50% fee, and less than 24 hours incur a 100% fee. See full terms and conditions for complete cancellation policy.
Do you accept health insurance?
I provide receipts that you can submit to your private health insurance if your policy covers nutritional therapy or naturopathy. However, I don’t bill insurance directly.
Can I purchase additional consultations if needed?
Yes, additional follow-up consultations can be added to any package as your needs evolve.
How long until I see results?
This depends on your condition, how long you’ve been unwell, and how consistently you can implement recommendations. Some clients notice shifts within weeks – improved energy, better sleep, reduced symptoms. For others with complex or chronic conditions, meaningful change takes longer. Healing happens in layers, and I’m here to support you through the entire process.
Do you work with clients outside the UK?
Yes, my consultations are online and I work with women globally, including clients in Europe, Australia, and Asia. However, please note that some functional tests and supplements may not be available in all countries.
