Who We Are

As the Founder and lead clinician at the Dublin Centre for Functional Medicine, I believe in the evidence based medicine approach that not only looks at symptoms but looks at what has contributed to the current imbalance in health.

My approach to working with my patients is using the Functional Medicine model with nutrition at its core with any protocol. I really believe in nutritional medicine and have seen it transforms lives many times over.. 

I have been working in this field for 25 years as a patient and practitioner and believe that the Functional medicine model is the future of healthcare for lifestyle disease and its associated conditions. 

Like many practitioners, I got into the profession through my own plight overcoming chronic Candida, Parasitic and SIBO infections (at different times) in addition to heavy metals, mould and oxolate toxcity. I have walked the walk so to speak and know exactly what it’s like to be extremely sick and only trying to get healthier, as quickly as possible, and I can empathise with patients who come into the clinic having tried multiple other routes and conventional doctors but with little success.

I am passionate about helping patients achieve optimal health and wellness by personalising every single patient’s approach. This could involve looking into genetics, lifestyle, toxins, infections and stress. By examining these areas, you are able to uncover where the imbalance is and use the correct modality to bring the body back into balance. This is the opposite way of the conventional approach which merely looks to treat the symptom. The problem with the conventional route is that symptoms will reappear somewhere else in the body and cause further issues.  

I treat a whole list of conditions related to all different body systems with a focus on the gut and digestive disorders including (SIBO, IBD IBS and Candida. I believe that a lot of roads lead back to the microbiome and having good terrain is essential for optimal health. Liver and gallbladder health is a specific area of interest as it’s the gateway to the rest of the body and an area that doesn’t get the focus it requires.

I believe that a well-balanced life is essential, and am passionate about activities such as squash, cooking and football. I have won Irish and British National Squash Titles, and am currently European Squash champion at my age group.

My approach to working with my patients is using the Functional Medicine model with nutrition as a core approach. I really believe when find out what are causing symptoms and correct the underlying imbalance, the body can recover. I see this time and time again on a daily basis.

 I have been working in this field for 25 years as a patient and practitioner and believe that the Functional medicine model is the future of healthcare for lifestyle diseases and conditions. I believe it acts as a perfect conduit to help the burdening NHS and help relieve some of the pressure they are having, so they can concentrate on more acute care that is more suited to conventional western medicine.

I have treated conditions related to all different body systems but the main areas that I work with are digestive conditions (SIBO, IBS and Candida) and chronic fatigue.

Liver and gallbladder health is a specific area of interest as it’s the gateway to the rest of the body and an area that doesn’t get the focus it requires.

I believe that a well-balanced life is essential, and am passionate about activities such as squash, cooking and football. I have won Irish and British National Squash Titles, competed in the European and World Squash championships and still play at a reasonable standard.
