March 2025 - It is with a mixture of gratitude and sadness that after 12 rewarding years of serving this community through our functional medicine clinic, the time has come for us to close our doors.

 

My training in nutritional medicine started as a very personal endeavour. I knew out there - somewhere - was a better way to care for my young family’s health. During my training I found Functional Medicine - a sophisticated and intelligent system of understanding the body. A way to approach illness with curiosity and care. A way to deliver healthcare that not only works but empowers people to take care of themselves.

 

Our functional medicine clinic was born in 2013 and thrived quickly into a busy and fulfilling full-time practice.

 

I decided to take a sabbatical in my 51st year as my life had changed a lot since I started on the path of functional medicine. As I now step back from 1-1 work for the foreseeable future, Helen and Rachael - who have been such an integral part of the team - will be continuing in their own practices. I know many of you will continue to benefit from their brilliant knowledge and work.​

 

As I move into this next stage of my life, my heart is full of appreciation for the trust our patients and their families placed in us to make the clinic such a success. 

​

Wishing you the very best of health.
