Nutrition
NOURISHING FROM WITHIN
Our evidence-based approach focuses on personalised care, providing patients with practical tools to maintain healthy and sustainable eating habits. We start with an in-depth nutritional assessment categorising eating patterns based on individual habit and environment. While we don't endorse specific diets, we customise according to personal goals and individual risk factors. Our nutrition prescriptions are grounded in scientific research, addressing factors like macro and micro nutrients, optimal protein intake, inflammation and the microbiome.

Physical activity
MOVING WITH VITALITY
Our approach is customised to individual needs, emphasising movement as a source of joy and longevity. We cover a wide range of activities, including aerobic, resistance, flexibility, and balance training, all of which are key to a comprehensive regimen. Through combining guidelines, assessments, and personalised prescriptions, we strive to make physical activity enjoyable and sustainable. Furthermore, we acknowledge the unique needs of different populations, offering support for healthy aging, pregnancy, chronic conditions, and disabilities.

Restorative sleep
REVITALISING YOUR NIGHTS
Through comprehensive sleep assessments, we identify individual sleep patterns and issues, tailoring interventions to meet specific needs. Our program emphasises optimising sleep environments and promoting relaxation techniques for natural and effective sleep enhancement. We also address common sleep disturbances such as obstructive sleep apnoea and chronic insomnia, referring patients to sleep specialists when necessary for further assessment and management such as polysomnigraphy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).

Avoiding risky substances and environmental toxins
BREAKING FREE
Rooted in compassion and evidence-based practices, we begin with screening tools to assess substance use and identify those needing additional support. Through education, we highlight the effects of substances, the benefits of cessation, and how to avoid environmental toxins such as those in our food systems, empowering patients to make informed choices. Our patient-centred treatment plans integrate behavioural interventions and pharmacotherapy, ensuring practical and effective strategies tailored to individual needs.

Connection
FOSTERING RELATIONSHIPS & PURPOSE
We prioritise our interconnectedness through self-understanding, relationships, our environment, and our sense of purpose. We guide patients in developing mindfulness and gratitude to maintain healthy behaviors and satisfaction, focusing more on meaningful pursuits than temporary pleasures. We highlight strategies to build meaningful relationships while managing the negative effects of social media. Our emphasis on self-actualisation and the flow state encourages patients to reach their full potential, improving focus, creativity, and overall life satisfaction.
