Jadine will provide the tools and knowledge to 'nourish yourself to vitality' through sustainable practices tailored to you. With simple, realistic, non-restrictive recommendations to achieve your health goals.

Treatment plans are based on a client's extensive health history (medical history, family history, diet, lifestyle, medications, supplements, conventional & functional pathology test results) from the initial and follow-up sessions and health questionnaire sent to the client before the first consult.

Holistic therapies, nutrition education, healthy active lifestyle and the power of positive thinking make me who I am. My mission is to inspire, empower, educate and shift peoples perceptions around food, physical activity, health and happiness. I have a Master’s degree in Nutritional Therapy and practicing since 2014. My main areas of interest are but are not limited to skin condition, hormonal imbalances, diabetes, cardiovascular and liver diseases as well as weight management. In my practice I apply the Functional Medicine Model to review cases and embed a client centred approach. I believe in an evidence-based holistic approach, taking into consideration stress levels, sleep quality, mental health, lifestyle habits and physical activity. I truly believe that holistic health (physical and mental) can provide to all of us wellness, energy, vitality and in general a better quality of life. Outside of work I enjoy creating healthy recipes, practicing yoga and spending quality time with my family.
