Emily-Connell

I am a Mum of two active boys and appreciate the challenges that come with balancing health, life and family amidst a world that, at times, seems so super fast paced and crazy! As is often the case, this Nutritional Medicine career eventuated as a result of my own struggles seeking balance and overcoming my own health complications. I experienced first hand how overwhelming and confusing it can be out there to navigate the health world and seek answers to what I once thought should be simple a thing – to feel well!

The search for the elusive health/life/family balance for me is ongoing but Nutritional Medicine has provided a way to assist with this journey. I have learnt that it’s not about the ‘quest’ for wellness, but instead investing in the power of now, and asking the question ‘right now, in this moment, what can I do to help me feel better?’ 

I acknowledge the unique challenges each person and family faces in their health and wellness journey and work hard to develop therapeutic relationships that are founded on support, empathy and integrity. I’m excited to work alongside you to provide education and expertise to help navigate and simplify the process of achieving health and vitality.
