‘Now for the first time in 10 years I cannot remember the last time I was ill. Helen has not only given me back my health, but my confidence and so much energy too’. Katy, student.

‘From the moment I made contact with Helen I felt I was in safe hands...but ultimately it helped me feel I was being proactive by gaining control of my emotional and physical health’. Gemma, happy mum.

She offers one-to one consultations, bespoke online group programmes, themed talks, and collaborates with GP surgeries and consultants in order to communicate the functional and lifestyle medicine philosophy.

‘Our patients had accessed many services through our own GP, other organisations, and other NHS options however, non of this was helping. Helen completed a very comprehensive assessment for each patient...which in turn resulted in significant positive health outcomes for each referral’. Jane, Senior nurse.

The practice of functional and lifestyle medicine includes: listening to the client’s story, analysing their case history, interpreting laboratory test results, and assessing their dietary and lifestyle choices as well as their emotional well being, in order to produce a set of recommendations unique to that client. It is a client-centred approach and one that guides them simply towards achieving their health goals. Show less
