Integrative Medicine and NeuroPsychoImmunology
NeuroPsychoImmunology, sleep, breathing and whole-person health.
- 1.The study of the traffic between brain, mind and immune system.
- 2.The reason you can be exhausted, in pain, and told your bloods are normal, all at once.
The body has never organised itself into departments. It has always worked as one connected conversation.
Sometimes the answer is not in one part of the body. It is in the conversation between them.
She trained in Germany in dentistry and orthodontics, holding an MSc in Orthodontics, before spending more than twenty years running her own practice. Her career gradually expanded beyond dentistry into the wider systems that influence how we breathe, sleep, recover and feel.
She went on to specialise in airway health, TMJ disorders, myofunction, sleep disorders and sleep apnoea, later completing a Master's in Integrative Medicine and becoming an Academic Expert in NeuroPsychoImmunology. Alongside this, she trained as a stress and burnout coach and became a certified breathwork instructor through SolaBreath and the Buteyko Clinic.
Her work begins with something simple. The body rarely separates itself into specialties, even if healthcare sometimes does.
Breathing influences sleep. Sleep influences recovery. The nervous system influences the immune system. Jaw tension can tell a story that begins somewhere else entirely.
Rather than asking which part hurts, she usually begins by asking what else has been happening.
That perspective became personal after the pandemic, when she developed chronic fatigue herself. Closing her practice, moving to Guernsey and becoming an author gave her a new understanding of what it is to live with symptoms that do not fit neatly into one specialty.
Today her clinical knowledge and her lived experience sit alongside one another.
At MYND, that wider way of thinking has found its home. Her work sits comfortably alongside psychology, talking therapy and body-based practice, so different practitioners can contribute to a fuller understanding of the same person.
She is a dentist, so the simplest things remain possible too. Tooth whitening, for instance, which is restricted by law to registered dental professionals and therefore turns up in a clinic rather than a salon.
Years of clinical training teach knowledge. Years of listening teach something else.
She believes every appointment starts long before an examination. It starts with someone's story.
Her consultations are calm, thoughtful and collaborative. She takes time to understand the bigger picture, explaining what she notices, how different parts of the body may relate to one another, and what the possible next steps might look like.
There is no rush to arrive at an answer. Understanding why something is happening is often as important as deciding what happens next.
The range of it.
Her training spans more ground than most. What follows describes what each thing is. Whether any of them is right for you is a conversation, not a menu.
- Infusion therapy
Fluids or vitamins given directly into a vein, sitting down, over an hour or so.
- Acupuncture
Very fine needles at specific points on the body.
- Laser acupuncture
The same points, worked with low-level light rather than needles.
- Laser pain therapy
Low-level light applied to a painful area. You stay dressed.
- Magnetic frequency therapy
Low-frequency electromagnetic fields applied to the body. Painless, and nothing is broken through the skin.
- Immune supplement consulting
A conversation about what you are already taking, and what still earns its place.
- Cold therapy
Deliberate cold exposure. Brief, on purpose, and never a surprise.
- Oxygen therapy
Breathing air containing more oxygen than ordinary air.
- Photobiomodulation
Red or near-infrared light on the skin, at specific wavelengths.
- Breathwork
Guided breathing, at your own pace.
- SOMA Breath
A structured breathwork method using rhythm, breath holds and music.
- NeuroAromatherapy
Scent used deliberately during a session, chosen for you rather than for the room.
- Longevity and biohacking
A long-standing interest of hers rather than a service. Where it is useful, it turns up in the conversation.
Her trained therapy dog can be quietly present during appointments. For many children, and for people with ADHD and other additional needs, she makes the room feel calmer before a single word has been spoken.
She is always optional. Say so when you book, either way.
