My approach
Movement, nutrition and whole-body assessment
The way I work
Most people come to me because something isn’t working. A persistent ache, a loss of strength, a body that feels less reliable than it used to. My job is to understand why, not just address the symptom.
I look at the whole picture. How you move, how you recover, how you sleep, how you eat and how stress shows up in your body. All of these influence how well you stabilise, adapt and progress. Ignoring them means working harder for slower results.
The health appraisal
Before your first session, I will send you a comprehensive Health Appraisal Questionnaire. This is not a standard intake form. It covers 12 areas of function, including gastrointestinal health, endocrine function, glucose regulation, cardiovascular health, mood, immune function, musculoskeletal health, and hormonal balance.
Once you have completed it, I will analyse the results, and we will sit down together to go through the findings. This conversation shapes everything that follows: the movement work, the nutritional guidance and the pace at which we progress.
It ensures that your programme is built around how your body actually functions, not just how it performs in a single session.
Why this matters
Your core is not simply your abdominal muscles. It is a coordinated system involving the diaphragm, deep abdominal wall, pelvic floor and surrounding stabilising muscles. Breathing patterns, stress load, sleep quality, digestive health and nutritional intake all affect how this system performs.
When these factors are disrupted, progress can feel inconsistent. Strength plateaus. Pain persists despite regular exercise. Strengthening alone does not create sustainable change. Understanding the broader picture allows the work to be more precise and more effective.
Nutrition
Nutrition is part of how I work, not an add-on. What you eat directly affects how your body moves, recovers and responds to exercise. It influences energy levels, inflammation, hormonal balance and how efficiently your deep stabilising system functions.
My nutritional approach is rooted in ketogenic principles. This means moving away from reliance on sugar and processed carbohydrates and towards a way of eating that stabilises energy, reduces inflammation and supports the body’s natural repair processes. For many clients this alone creates a noticeable shift in how they feel day to day.
Based on your health appraisal results and your goals, I provide practical nutritional guidance that works alongside your movement programme. This includes one-off consultations, ongoing guidance as part of your sessions and meal planning where needed. The aim is always the same: to make sure that what you eat is working with your body, not against it.
Not sure where to start?
You don’t need to decide before booking. Your first session will give clarity on what your body needs and how we can move forward together.
