Philosophy

 

Health, family, relationship, work sometimes it feeling like we have so many plates spinning that we have to drop our own health to latest priority.

We’ve all heard the cliche about fitting our own oxygen mask first.

We know we would be happier and find things easier if we had more energy and better health but finding the time and making it stick seems almost impossible.

And the truth is that doing it using willpower and motivation, it is impossible.
I work with you to find the root cause of your symptoms and to help you create the right habits for you.

Not by forcing them into place or by holding you accountable but by applying the neuroscience principles of habit, functional health approach to body budgeting and emotional intelligence.

 
 

HABIT

A habit is formed when a new behaviour in adopted by the Basal ganglia in the brain.

This occurs when the brain deems the new behaviour to be a more easy, effective, fun, fulfilling method for achieving what it most values. This principle above all else must inform any new action we wish to continue for the long term.  Determination or will power will never be enough, in fact the need for them is a red flag that a habit will not be formed around the new action.

 
 

Diagnosis

You’ve been told there is something wrong with you. 

Your hormones are imbalanced, you have female issues that you need to put up with. Perhaps you have even been told that you are weak willed and your problems are your fault. During this powerful diagnostic process all of your symptoms, ailments and struggles will fall into place. You will finally have clarity around ALL of your physical and even emotional health challenges. This POWERFUL first step will move you from passive victim to the empowered action taker that you are.

 
 

threat

The brain has particular regions the job of which is to look out for internal and external threat.

When the brain perceives threats it creates a reaction in order to drive safety creating behaviours. This might be an exaggerated immune response. Strong cravings for sugar or salt. Headaches or a stress response that floods the system with stress hormones.  We will identify and reverse your unique cocktail to drive away your symptoms.

 
 

commitment

It is commitment to process that drives success.

During this part of the process we will isolate those things that may have held you back from creating consistency and support you in becoming far more consistent in every area of your life.
