Clinical Blood Work Analysis: I review your 36+ blood markers through a naturopathic lens, catching imbalances that standard coaches might miss. Your thyroid might be “in range” on paper, but functionally struggling.
Whole-Person Support: As a Thyroid Recovery Practitioner, NLP Practitioner, and Hypnotist, we can address the physical, emotional, and metabolic reasons your body has been holding onto weight.
Evidence-Based Results: The stories below aren’t unusual –they’re what happens when you combine personalised nutrition with clinical naturopathic care.
Sarina: “I Have a Spring in My Step!”
Before: Described herself as feeling “old, stiff and ancient”
After 6 Months:
In Sarina’s Words:
“I feel amazing! I am so proud of myself. It has been life-changing. I have a new lease on life and a spring in my step. I look younger! I now know what I can and can’t eat and why certain foods aren’t good for me.”
Kerrie: “It’s Amazing How After a While Feeling Awful Seems Normal”
What She Was Experiencing:
Lack of motivation, low energy
Daily late sleep-ins and afternoon naps needed
Constant headaches, fogginess, sinus problems
Digestive issues, catching every bug
High cholesterol
After Starting Her Personalised Plan:
“Now that I’m feeling so good, it almost seems like it never happened. It’s amazing how, after a while, feeling awful seems normal, but it really shouldn’t be, because my new ‘normal’ is so much better. Literally everything has turned around. I have so much more energy, am clear-thinking, can get up early every day and never need a daily nap! I also rarely have headaches or sinus problems any more, and so far this year I haven’t picked up any colds or viruses.” ~ Kerrie

Jeannette’s Comments
“This is the first time I’ve been able to lose weight in 30 years! I have tried almost every diet going. Weight Watchers, Slimming World, Shakes, fasting… I needed to find someone who understood about an underactive Thyroid gland and then I found Jeannette.”
Jeannette’s Comments
Menopause & Midlife Relief
