You deserve to thrive, not just survive!
WHAT IS A COMPLEX CASE?
A complex case is one that involves multiple, interrelated factors affecting your health and/or genetic components. These conditions often persist over a long time and may include chronic illnesses, mental health issues, genetic diseases and lifestyle-related problems.
Unlike simple, acute conditions that can be quickly treated, complex conditions require ongoing management and co-ordinated care to address the various aspects of your health involved. This approach ensures better overall well-being, a quicker path to wellness, saves you money, and prevents further complications.
We do not provide band-aid solutions and we know achieving an optimum level of health and wellness takes a time and money commitment from you, to enable us to support you. Our method has been carefully designed to provide you with a personalised treatment plan to give you the most value for money and effective ongoing health management.
If you have a complex medical history, chronic health conditions or genetic disorder and have been searching for answers, then we would love to chat to you about how we can support you.
As we work closely 1:1 with each of our patients our availability is limited and by application only.

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF)
"Christine's drive to uncover the root cause of flare ups of my illness, has helped me to reduce the impact and severity on my day to day life." - Kathie Holmes
I have worked with Christine since 2018 both as her Online Business Manager and now also as a patient.
I've seen first hand the difference she makes in the lives of those with complex illnesses but never thought I would be one of them.
I have lived with multiple health conditions for most of my adult life but it has only been in the last few years where things have started to spiral and I have been diagnosed with Familial Mediterranean Fever. Whilst this is a genetic disease, the drivers for "flares" are the keys to reducing the impact on day to day life.
Christine's knowledge of how the body works, the impact of nutrition or lack thereof, and her dogged determination to really dig deep into test results to find the pathways that are causing the flares, and then being able to support my body to reduce them, has been a game changer for me.
Add to that her natural empathy and ability to support people from all walks of life, she really has been an absolute lifesaver.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
"The results speak for themselves and I intend to continue with Christine’s protocol indefinitely."
- Donna, Registered Nurse
My son was 3 when he was diagnosed with the debilitating and incurable disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Immediately Christine was able to create a protocol of supplements that not only supported the selected pharmaceuticals but reduced their side effects.
My son is now 12 and doing well, he is still mobile and able to swim the length of a pool. Most would not be able to tell that he has DMD. He will always have it, but for now we are happy that he has not declined as many other DMD children of the same age are already in wheelchairs and have lost the ability to walk.
It's a lot of work, diet, tablets and tests, but all worth it to know that he has the best chance of high level wellness and functionality albeit with a serious diagnosis. His specialists and Drs are all very impressed with his progress. I believe that without the help of Christine, my son would not be doing as well as he is. The results speak for themselves and I intend to continue with Christine’s protocol indefinitely."
