What Sets Us Apart
Our patient feedback speaks volumes about the level of care we provide.
General Health
"Christine is incredibly knowledgeable, very thorough and able to explain all my lab results to me that make sense."
- Carolyn
I commenced treatment with Christine in 2015 after becoming very dissatisfied and disillusioned with my wholistic GP whom I had been seeing for a number of years. I felt that my health was not improving one bit.
After our initial consultation, Christine worked with me to help solve various problems, one by one. Her diagnosis and treatment have been thorough and accurate; even though we still have a little way to go, I know I would be in a much worse situation without her advice and support.
Christine has never been too busy to communicate with me; always positive and easy to open up to. I enjoy our appointments, learning more about my health and what is necessary to maintain a healthy enjoyable lifestyle. Christine is incredibly knowledgeable, very thorough and able to explain all my lab results to me that make sense. She has a non-judgmental, kind and empathetic heart.
Appointments are always easy to schedule around my life. Christine also has helped with other members of my family and we feel grateful for her help and guidance that has improved our health and lifestyle.. I would absolutely recommend Christine and her team!
Gut Health
"I no longer feel like my issues are all in my head. I’m actually hopeful of feeling 100% healthy again"
- Sarah
I was referred to Christine by a friend. I had been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and it was clear that Western medicine could no longer help me. I’ve been living with gut problems for over six years after a terrible bout of food poisoning overseas.
These issues have impacted every facet of my life. Something as simple as travelling interstate for work or a long morning tram ride was incredibly stressful.
I’d already spent thousands (maybe more) of dollars on things that didn’t work for me: gut-directed hypnotherapy, a nutritionist, a naturopath, reiki, energy healing… I can’t even remember everything I’ve tried.
I began working with Christine in February 2021 and it is now August 2021. My symptoms have improved considerably and for the first time since having gut issues, I feel seen and heard.
I no longer feel like my issues are ‘all in my head.’ I don’t have a constant uneasiness in my stomach and I’ve been able to enjoy simple things like catching up with friends for lunch with minimal discomfort. I’m actually hopeful of feeling 100% healthy again – that means a lot to someone who was considering that maybe I’d have to live with these problems for the rest of my life.
Above all else, I love Christine’s holistic approach. She asks all the questions about my past and life that no other health professional has. Christine has made me realise that anxiety has been a significant factor in my life so far. This was a huge realisation that explains so much about my life to date.
