My clients are
ready for a radically different experience
They're fed up of being treated like crap by their doctors. They’ve had enough. They know they deserve better.
My clients are

That doesn’t mean they aren’t tempted, especially if they’re being pressured or coerced into it. But ultimately they know it isn’t sustainable.

How I’ve Supported Others on Their Journey
Stories of Transformation and Support
Charlie had developed some vague abdominal symptoms and a loss of appetite. Her doctor thought this was a great thing and didn’t see any cause for concern. I did. I asked Charlie to list all the things she thought might be causing her symptoms. Then we wrote a list of all the things that needed to happen next. Charlie left with a management plan and a personalised script to take back to her doctor. Which is a good thing, since it turned out she had stage one bladder cancer.
By the time I met Kris, they had been seen by a rheumatologist, an orthopedic surgeon and a pain clinician, yet none of them could even agree on a diagnosis let alone offer any treatment. One said it was Fibromyalgia. The other said it was mild arthritis of the spine. The third wasn’t sure and just prescribed anti-inflammatories. The only thing all three specialists agreed on was that losing weight would help. Except it didn’t. In fact, it made the pain worse. After exploring their medical history, I believed Kris had hypermobile EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) and together we came up with a plan to get a formal diagnosis and treatment plan.
Rikki had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was 19. He was now 42 and had several health issues, some of which were long term side effects of his medications. But his doctors never seemed to believe him or take him seriously. It was as if no one could see past his bipolar diagnosis. Rikki spent the first few minutes of his consultation trying to convince me that he was not imagining things. It’s only when I assured him that I would always believe him and I would never use his weight or mental health against him that he was able to relax.
