WHAT DOES A NUTRITIONAL THERAPIST DO - HER APPROACH IN A NUTSHELL?
My Method - Lifestyle intervention as first-line therapy
I bridge the gaps between clinical and holistic health, by combining my clinical knowledge and expertise with evidence-based training.
My Health Consulting methodology is based on the principles of functional medicine and uses lifestyle rebalancing as a first-line therapy.
My therapeutic approach is in line with the philosophy of therapies that place much more emphasis on discussing solutions than problems. The aim is not to liberate the illness, but rather to understand and reverse the imbalances and underlying causes that have caused it.
I offer individualized, non-dogmatic counseling nutrition advice. My method allows you to personalize and adopt a new lifestyle that matches your unique metabolism and needs.
My mission
My mission is to enable you to take charge of your own health, to find your own resources and solutions, and to regain your optimal health without limitations! I accompany you and help you optimize your lifestyle according to your unique physiological, emotional and spiritual needs.
MY ROLE
My role is to inspire, guide and support you as you work towards regaining your full health potential. I help you to analyse and understand your imbalances and the factors limiting your return to health. I'll help you define your priorities for change and your objectives for optimising your health.
My ambition
My ambition is to enable you to implement the desired changes in a sustainable way so that you stay aligned with your new health vision. I'll help you define a personalized strategic action plan that motivates and resonates with you.
TO ENSURE THE SUCCESS OF MY MISSIONS, I OFFER ADVICE ON NUTRITION AND LIFESTYLE THAT IS ADAPTED, TAILORED AND PERSONALIZED TO INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
This approach aims to optimize the biological values of individuals to prevent chronic lifestyle diseases by providing adapted nutritional therapy. Optimizing does not mean normalizing but making the operation of your body more optional. This medicine combines advice on lifestyles for example physical exercise and stress management etc...
This holistic approach understands that the organs and body systems work together to maintain the health (homeostasis) and have huge influence on the other in complex biochemical relationships that continue. Imbalance in one of these system may affect other systems, create imbalances and trigger illnesses and/ or health problems. Plus, if an individual has physical, emotional and psychological imbalances in their life, this may have a negative impact on overall health.

As a functional nutritional therapist I work under the framework of functional medicine. I follow The underlying premise of functional medicine is that every person’s biology is unique, and each approach to therapy should be as individual as the person being treated.
Functional nutrition practitioners’ aim to “treat the person who has the disease, not the disease itself”.
Functional Medicine constantly seeks to understand why?
- Why does this disease occur?
- What is the underlying cause?
- Why does this person have this illness or these symptoms?
- What is it about this person’s unique make-up and their individual experiences during their life that have resulted in the health problems they are experiencing?
As a Functional nutritional therapist I focuse on highly personalized nutritional approaches to supporting optimal health and well-being and will also incorporate lifestyle recommendations as part of a holistic approach for each case, using functional medicine labs if necessary to help customize their recommendations where applicable.(no testing can replace talking to the patient, observing and examining the patient).
I'm here to help you and to create personalized and sustainable nutritional advice for health and well-being.
