Working with the Hygieia Team

As with any new relationship, it is always helpful to outline at the start what you can expect from us, as well as how we could to work together to get the best results for you.

As a multidisciplinary team, each member of Hygieia staff has an important and different role to play in your health journey.

Your Functional Medical Physician

As a Functional Medicine Physician I believe the doctor-patient relationship is particularly important given the complexity of many health issues and the long term nature of our relationship. 

We’ll spend significant time together, especially at the start of our relationship, really gaining an understanding of your health history, identifying any testing requirements and developing a treatment plan.

It is important to note that I will not be your primary care physician, although I will gladly work alongside yours. Instead my goal is to find underlying patterns that are attributing to your imbalance and empower you to get your health back on track. 

Your Integrative Systemic Coach

Integrative Systemic coaching sessions are an invitation to explore and uncover what is driving the very core of your experience while considering the many contexts that make up your life. When you experience a sudden or unexplained emotional and physical imbalance, or find yourself struggling, stuck or repeating a pattern unsure why and how to move past a problem — the systemic lens offers a road map that reveals the root and origin of an issue as well as the opportunity to outgrow it.

Since we belong to and live in many overlapping systems (our bodies, our families of origin, the countries we are connect to) at times a symptom may appear in one although the resolution could be hidden in another. The context becomes central in our sessions and you, the client leads this process.

At the very heart of my work is a tremendous respect that I have for all of my clients. I arrive to meet my clients during very different moments in their life and every session and process is unique. My approach is very dynamic and collaborative. With empathy, humility and honesty we explore deeply and create a space to discover, process and then evolve.

Our sessions offer a pause and space where you can feel at ease and relaxed as you express and observe your experience from a new perspective. There will be many ideas, exercises and questions that we will create together.

Our work together will tap you into yourself, your wisdom, your strength and your creativity.
