One-to-One Consultations
What would more energy mean for you?
What would more energy mean for you?
After your free discovery call, there's a detailed questionnaire and food diary to complete before your initial consultation which lasts for 75 minutes.
During the initial consultation, we'll delve a little deeper with the aim of identifying the underlying imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms. We'll then work together on your personal Re-energisation plan, which will include dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Although I take food-first approach, supplements may be suggested if relevant, and functional testing may be recommended if it can provide further insight to inform your bespoke plan.
Your follow-up appointment is usually 4 weeks later and lasts 60 minutes. We'll discuss how you've been getting on, the results of any test, and review and revise your plan accordingly.

Supporting Thyroid, Burnout, ME/CFS & Long Covid
Health transformation from someone who knows
what you're going through
Hi I'm Sam, and I'm passionate about helping tired people boost their energy, increase their vitality and reclaim their lives.
​
A demanding 20-year career in marketing, a period of intense personal and professional stress, followed by two viral illnesses back-to-back created the perfect storm which led me to the doctor’s office 12 years ago. Constantly exhausted, unable to sleep and barely able to string a sentence together, I left with a diagnosis of post-viral syndrome, otherwise known as
ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).
I know how it feels to wonder if you’ll ever get to do the things you love again, whether you’ll be able to work again, whether you'll ever feel better. I remember spending hours searching the web for answers but ending up feeling overwhelmed and even more exhausted.
My search for solutions led me to study Nutritional Therapy which was instrumental in my own recovery and inspired a dedication to support others to do the same.
Taking a Functional Medicine approach enables me to focus on understanding and addressing ALL the underlying drivers of someone's fatigue.
Although I work with people with a range of health concerns, my areas of special interest are thyroid conditions and ME/CFS & Long Covid.
