About

Lifestyle Medicine is the use of evidence-based lifestyle interventions (including but not limited to nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, connection and modification of substance use) to prevent and manage chronic disease. It includes an approach to working with people which is informed by the science of behaviour change (a 'coaching' approach), and recognises the broader societal and environmental factors which impact our health.

Research shows that lifestyle interventions that focus on these aspects can be effective in reducing risk factors for several conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.* Lifestyle Medicine is not an alternative medicine, but one that works alongside pharmaceutical or other treatments when appropriate.

Improve your energy, confidence and overall wellbeing

A healthy lifestyle helps you get more out of life. It reduces your risk for disease, improves your energy levels and sleep quality and increases your confidence, and general wellbeing.

Coaching combined with medical advice

Most of us know that some of our habits can lead to unhealthy outcomes. But knowing what to do and being able to shift our behaviour in the direction we would like to go are two different things, and the ‘doing’ is where we often get stuck.

My medical background, combined with my qualifications in counselling and coaching mean that I can help you identify the barriers and challenges that make it hard for you to move forward. I can provide realistic strategies to help you achieve your specific health goals and ensure that the actions you take will support and promote your physical health.
