I'm a formally trained general practitioner, functional medicine physician and pharmacist

I've worked as a GP for over a decade

I completed my doctoral training at the University of Warwick, followed by my foundation training at University College Hospital London.

Prior to studying Medicine, I achieved a Masters in Pharmacy at King's college London and worked as a pharmacist at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital

I furthered my interest in women's wellness through The Institute of Functional Medicine and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition

Why I do What I do

Too many mums have no roadmap or guidance on how to recover with wellness after birthing babies

Very little attention is given to wellness for women who have had babies

Too many lingering post birth symptoms are explained away as being normal

Women are left struggling to know how to make things better & left feeling fatigued and depleted, and potentially impacting future pregnancies

I realised that this was a common experience for many women. Just as I struggled with my own journey.

True post birth recovery begins with optimal wellness before pregnancy.

Many potentially modifiable risk factors that influence the outcome of the pregnancy & the mother's health, are present before pregnancy occurs.

Preventative healthcare is often given too late to make a difference to the outcome

Women's health before pregnancy is important because it not only affects the lifelong health of the mother & the trajectory of the pregnancy, but also the health of the baby, right through to adulthood

For this reason I help women before pregnancy and after, on their journeys to wellness

Purpose

"Don’t think about making women fit the world - think about making the world fit women." Gloria Steinem

With the same sentiment, the aim is not to fit the woman to the treatment, but to fit the treatment to the woman; a highly bespoke approach

Empowering women with knowledge and skills to safeguard their hormone health and optimise body biology before pregnancy and to recover with wellness after birth

I've done a sky dive! I won't forget the freefall in eerie silence, then - bam! the wind ripped my goggles right off mid-air!

My most striking travel memory was in Jordan; standing under a natural thermal waterfall and walking through Petra

I can hula hoop like a pro! Once I get going, I can keep it spinning long enough to make people wonder if I'll ever stop!

I'm one of those rare people who does not watch tv - you could say I live under a rock, but give me a book over tv, any day
