Difference of opinion is many a times cause for arguments at personal, social or work environment. Difference in viewpoint can lead to confrontation.

I also offer online sessions.
As an integrative medical professional, I am passionate about caring for individuals and help them manage stress, explore the factors contributing to their mental health difficulties, recognise unhelpful thought patterns & emotions. I strive to offer management strategies based on alternative non-pharmacological approaches & promote evidence based alternative modalities without placing over reliance on medications alone. My integrative practice is rooted in elements of Lifestyle Medicine, Neuroplasticity, Mindfulness, Cognitive behavioural (CBT) approaches and Breathwork to enhance individual cognitive health and wellbeing. These tools will help patients effectively manage mental & physical health by taking control of stress, anxiety, health related worries, depression, IBS, sleep deprivation, brain fog, menopausal wellbeing, dietary choices and chronic pain.
Health is not only about fixing the illness but also looking at ways of optimising it by using lifestyle modifications & preventative measures. Preventative approach to health is largely underutilised given many of the chronic conditions are lifestyle driven. Lifestyle related diseases such as Hypertension, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Dementia, Cancer, Irritable Bowel Syndrome are common worldwide. They are significantly modifiable and largely preventable in early stages through adoption of a healthy lifestyle, diet & effective stress management.

Let nature nurture you
Let the nature nurture you!! Uplift your mind and mood!!
Spending just 20-30 minutes in nature can be beneficial for the mental health and wellbeing - making us feel calmer, less stressed and less worried. The nature walks help reduce the levels of stress hormone cortisol and encourage the release of endorphins, body’s feel good chemicals. No matter how busy you are, treat yourself with kindness and for your own good, make a conscious effort to get closer to woods. Autumn is the perfect time to be outdoors, for visiting green spaces and mindful walks. Refreshingly crisp air makes you feel alive and who wouldn’t enjoy nature’s glory as the trees are exploding with colours!!
