After suffering from burnout at work and realising I’d developed a bunch of unsustainable habits with regards to my food and exercise, I made an appointment with Sylvia. I’m SO GLAD I did.
In our first consult, Sylvia had a talk with me about what my life looked like and identified the reasons which might have been driving me toward unhealthy decisions. She outlined a loose meal plan (which is what worked for me) and a series of tests. I found the changes suggested by Sylvia to be really actionable and concrete and she was always ready to back up her suggestions with actual science. Sylvia was empathetic when I needed it and called me on it when I was obviously making excuses. She’s very good at knowing when to press and when to back off and be a bit more gentle. My appointment with Sylvia was the first domino which has led me to a place where my quality of life is significantly improved.

About The Author
I believe that symptoms are always a way of our body trying to communicate something.
As an integrative practitioner, I’ll ask questions about what your symptoms really mean rather than trying to “work around” them. Although I have always been one to challenge the status quo, this way of thinking first developed through experience with my previous health challenges.
On writing my PhD thesis, I learned how to further question evidence and discuss nuances around health from a holistic viewpoint. Like you, I am naturally not satisfied with one straight answer (e.g. a pill) for a complex issue and am prepared to help you work through your challenges with nutrition and lifestyle.
