Before the Bump is my self-paced preconception course - a functional-medicine approach to preparing your body (and your partner's) for pregnancy. It's 9 modules, 51 videos and a workbook, designed to be done together as a couple, at home, in your own time.

Anyone preparing for pregnancy in the coming months who wants more than a leaflet and "good luck" - including those who've been told everything's "normal" but it doesn't feel that way. It's for both partners, not just the woman.

The 1:1 work is personalised care for your specific case - testing, and a plan built around you (from £625). The course is the same foundational framework I teach every patient, made self-paced and £97 so you can start straight away, without waiting for an appointment. Especially relevant right now: with 1:1 intake paused, the course is the way to start with me today.

9 modules, 51 videos and the Before the Bump Workbook. It's a one-time payment with lifetime access - no subscription, no expiry - so you can return to it through pregnancy and beyond.

You're covered by a 7-day refund, provided it's within 7 days of purchase and you haven't accessed more than 10 sessions.

As early as you can. The eggs and sperm involved in conception develop over roughly three to four months, so the sooner you begin, the more the groundwork is already in place.

Think of your health as a tree. Conventional medicine often treats the visible symptoms - the leaves and branches - primarily with medication. Functional medicine goes deeper, addressing the roots (genetics and lifestyle) while nourishing the soil (nutrition, stress management, and other foundational elements of health). This holistic approach supports lasting wellness from the ground up.

In Functional Medicine, getting a 'diagnosis' like acne opens up a whole new set of questions exploring why do you, specifically, have acne?

We will recommend advanced functional tests to assess your health, such as:

• Urine Organic Acid Test (OAT) - Evaluates metabolic function, gut health, nutrient status, and toxicity markers. A urine test.
• Stool GI-MAP - Analyses gut microbiome balance, digestion, inflammation, and pathogens. A stool test.

These cost £579 plus delivery and are payable directly to Nordic Labs.

Other possible tests include the DUTCH test (a urine test assessing hormones), and LifeCode Gx (an oral swab to test your DNA).

Our journey starts with an in-depth online consultation (£625), followed by check-ins every 8 weeks (£250). Most patients work with us for 10-14 months, but this varies for each person.

We'll guide you every step of the way, but you're in the driver's seat - your health, your pace. Regular check-ins help you get the best results.

I may recommend supplements to support your health needs, particularly for nutrient gaps or specific conditions. They are meant to complement a balanced diet, not replace it, and I'll make sure any recommendations are tailored to you.
