Christelle S.
I was drawn to holistic and functional medicine because I wanted to help people get to the true root of their health issues. Not just manage symptoms but understand why they’re unwell and how to restore balance naturally. What makes my approach unique? I combine deep listening with detailed investigation. My focus is on treating the whole person, creating clear, realistic plans, and empowering my patients to take charge of their own health. What do patients value most? They appreciate that I truly listen, explain things clearly, and work with them to make treatment plans that are manageable. Many say they finally feel seen, understood, and supported.

Watching my mom struggle with digestive issues for decades while being told it was 'just stress' ignited my passion for gut health. I help people with IBS, SIBO, and food sensitivities navigate healing without feeling overwhelmed by restrictive diets. My Korean-American background brings a unique perspective to food as medicine - we make healing delicious and culturally relevant. I'm also passionate about fermenting everything (my kimchi game is strong).
Maria D.
My own chronic back pain from years of poor posture studying for medical boards taught me that structure and biochemistry are inseparable. Now serving international patients virtually, I help people with persistent pain and fatigue using spinal alignment, peptide therapy (cell-repair), and anti-inflammatory nutrition. My patients love that we address both the mechanical and metabolic causes of their symptoms. I'm also passionate about mentoring young female practitioners - the field needs more women who understand what chronic pain actually feels like.
Maya M.
Burning out as a conventional GP made me realize that treating anxiety and sleep issues with just medications wasn't working for my patients or for me. Now I help people overcome chronic stress and insomnia using HRV biofeedback, targeted nutrients, and circadian rhythm optimization. My patients love learning to literally see their nervous system calm down in real-time. I practice what I preach with daily meditation and way too many herbal teas - though I'll admit my own sleep still isn't perfect, which keeps me humble and constantly learning.

I understand the frustration of being told your gut symptoms are 'just stress' when you know something deeper is wrong. I help people with chronic fatigue and digestive issues get to the root causes using advanced testing and personalized nutrition plans. My patients often see significant energy improvements within 6-8 weeks, though I always tell them healing isn't linear - some weeks are better than others. Outside the clinic, I'm probably trying a new fermented food recipe or hiking with my rescue dog (he's much better at sticking to routines than I am).
Taiba G.
Dr Taiba Gul is a GP who graduated from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry in 2013 and has over a decade of experience across NHS primary and secondary care. She is a member of the Royal College of General Practitioners and the Royal College of Physicians, and is currently completing accreditation with the Institute for Functional Medicine. Having trained in conventional medicine, Taiba quickly realised that lasting health means looking at the whole person – not just the diagnosis. In her work as a GP she began to focus on lifestyle, diet, environment and mindset, combining this with health coaching to support sustainable change. This led her to functional medicine, where she now looks for the root causes behind digestive, autoimmune, hormonal and fatigue-related conditions. Taiba has extensive experience caring for both adults and children in the primary care setting and is confident working alongside your existing NHS team. Her calm, family-centred approach helps patients feel heard, understood and actively involved in their treatment plan.
Tatiana P.
Growing up watching my grandmother treat our family's ailments with Ayurvedic remedies sparked my fascination with combining ancient wisdom and modern science. After intensive training in functional medicine and genomics, I help women struggling with hormonal imbalances and digestive issues using advanced testing alongside time-tested Ayurvedic principles. My patients love that we address not just their symptoms, but their whole life rhythm. I'm also an enthusiastic hobby gardener who grows her own medicinal herbs - though my patients get much better results than my plants!
