Your body is connected.
Your care should be, too.

At Nature of Health, we look at the whole you — not just individual symptoms. Holistic means addressing all the lifestyle and dietary habits that affect your body, rather than alleviating symptoms alone.

As a Nutripath and Holistic Health Coach, I will help you hear what your body is telling you and teach you practical ways to integrate healthier habits into your daily life.

Understanding your health

Three ideas sit at the heart of this work. Start with whichever speaks to you.

Your Body’s Ability to Heal

Our bodies are amazing and can heal from practically anything when we give them what they need.

Regulatory Systems

Your elimination organs, immune system and gut microbiome quietly keep you well — and need looking after.

What Gets in the Way

Missing nutrients and everyday toxins wear down the body’s ability to regulate itself. Here’s how to restore balance.

Services

Four ways to begin understanding your body — each one feeding a plan that is specific to you.

Body Chemistry Analysis

The full picture in two appointments of about two hours each — live blood cell analysis, a food test of around 85 foods, and a Nutripathic Wellness Plan, then a lymphatic look and a wider supplement test two weeks later.

Nutripathic Consultation

Nutripathy studies how nutrition and lifestyle benefit health from a biological approach, combining European biological science and biochemistry with Eastern modalities. You are regarded as a whole being, never a single organ.

Biofeedback Food & Supplement Testing

A BioTrue biofeedback device reads your body’s response to over 85 foods and to any supplement before it is recommended — strong means your body can process it, weak means it takes energy from you.

Live Cell Microscopy

A sample is observed through an Olympus microscope and projected onto a monitor so you can see what is going on inside your body — live blood cell analysis and lymphatic fluid (saliva) analysis.
