Lockdown has taught me many things, some positive and some negative., but mostly positive when I look back.

One of the big positives for me was having enough time to study again. At the start of it all, the possibilities seemed endless, I could write a book or start a podcast. I didn’t quite get around to these things, but I would love to one day. I also didn’t beat myself up that I didn’t get around to everything. Sometimes just getting out of bed and going for a walk felt like a struggle on the corona coaster.

One of the things I did get around to was studying functional medicine. It has been a passion of mine for some time, and I have found that it works so well alongside acupuncture. My focus is female health coaching and functional medicine taught me so much in the field. I just love diving into a case and finding the root causes. That eureka moment brings me so much joy.

One of the ways we find out more when we need to dig a little deeper is with DUTCH testing. Its dried urine testing and has nothing to do with my second home of the Netherlands, which is a shame because I would love to spend more time there. This test gives detailed results on estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, inflammation markers and lots of other hormones that can help us pull together a more personalised treatment plan to bring back balance and good health.
