What is Functional Medicine Health Coaching?

A Functional Medicine Health Coach is a guide and mentor who empowers you and provides ongoing support as you set goals and make sustainable changes that improve your health and wellness.

My aim is to get to the root causes of your health concerns and address them at the core so that your body and mind can find themselves once again in harmony.

I will not simply look to address your symptoms, but will seek to discover the underlying reasons behind any dis-ease.

Why work with me?

Because these changes are hard to make on your own!

Being healthy isn’t just about the food on our plates. In reality, everything is food. From our relationships and careers, to our home environments, mental health and self care, what we feed ourselves in every area of life affects our health on multiple levels.

Some of the more common issues that I help people with are:

Peri-menopause & menopause
Stress related conditions
Anxiety, depression and mood imbalance
Gut & digestive issues
Thyroid and hormonal imbalances
Weight control and sugar addiction
Loss of energy and vitality

Or… you could just be confused by all the conflicting nutrition information out there and don’t know what to eat!

What to expect

First, you’ll complete a health history questionnaire so that I can learn more about your life. This will help inform our first session.

I will then support you in implementing sustainable and simple lifestyle and behavioural changes that will contribute to your agreed personal wellness goals. We’ll work towards connecting your self back with your body and clearing any limiting beliefs that may be holding you back.

I will help you to look at your environment and to understand the huge effects that our relationships, careers and thoughts have on our health …and most importantly how to start listening to your body.

I will guide you to experience how your body is meant to feel by going back to basics, eating real food, and making sustainable lifestyle changes.

Please note: I offer 1:1 sessions either in person at my home in Johor or via online video calls.

“In the back of my mind I had always wanted to get to the root of my health issues, but there never seemed the right time. I was utterly miserable and that’s when I met Jo. She helped me make small changes to my diet and my approach to life in general, and little by little, I came off the anti depressants, replacing them with turmeric, nutrient rich and fermented foods. Eight months after I had started my journey with Jo I was off all my medication (with the blessing of my GP). My body no longer aches, I’ve lost weight and ultimately I have learnt that looking at the complete person is what has made this whole journey the success that it is.”

“With Jo I learn something new every time. She teaches in a way that’s approachable and fun, always explaining how the ingredients work together and how they benefit your health and well-being. She has helped me realise that healthy foods taste even BETTER than the other not so healthy foods that I was eating! Changing my lifestyle into this way of eating has helped me feel healthy and energized. Jo is a natural in this field.”
