She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough in her approach and easy to work with.

I feel very lucky to have found Charmaine and to have her as my functional medicine practitioner. She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough in her approach and easy to work with. I have very often felt my concerns ignored in a traditional medical setting - but not here! Charmaine takes time to find the root causes of health problems and addresses them with natural supplements and lifestyle changes rather than harsh drugs. I can only recommend her services to others!.

She really cares about her patients.

Looking for answers with a compassionate and knowledgeable practitioner? Charmaine is it! I've been searching for answers to my declining health and chronic pain for over a decade. I've exhausted everything that "Western" medicine had offered through traditional practitioners and have been met with "just pace yourself" and shrugged shoulders.I've also explored much of the alternative offerings (e.g., hyperbaric oxygen therapy, massage, reiki, cranio-sacral, myofasical, psychedelic, red light, neural regulation, talk therapy) and while helpful, I was really just stumbling around in the dark.Charmaine was able to review my long medical history and get a game plan going very quickly. After a long discussion, we came up with a game plan to run a number of tests. A number of results came back that informed our initial game plan. She was able to work with me despite my overwhelming fatigue and we started on the first of a few protocols. My fatigue made it really hard to do much of anything that I knew would make me feel better (like eating whole healthy foods). Based on the test results, we started with supplements and strategies to get me healthy enough to continue with our other protocols.The next protocol, we cleared out my gut and worked on getting my immune system up. We found a long standing chronic viral infection that we were able to mostly get under control. She was also willing and open to working with me on the other healing modalities I pursued on the side. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I feel better than I have in years and I finally feel like I have a path out of this haze of poor health. It's been about 7-8 months since we started working together, and I'm impressed at how quickly we got to a place where I am feeling this well. Thank you Charmaine!

I love the experience

I have had the good fortune to consult with Charmaine over a number of years now primarily, but not exclusively, for biofeedback ......in the search for "optimal health"! In my experience, Charmaine is not only patient, kind and compassionate, but also extremely knowledgeable in the field of functional medicine. I would have no hesitation in referring anyone genuinely committed to their health to consult with her. Thank you.

Feel cared and listened

Charmaine has been a lifeline for me over the past 15months. She is a wealth of health knowledge (both conventional medicine and alternative) and at the same time I always feel so cared for and listened to. Just knowing that I have Charmaine’s support has been very reassuring and calming in the midst of difficult health symptoms (and also lack of mainstream health support.) We don’t have a lot with regards to finances and Charmaine has always done her best to maximise what we can do with what we have. Whenever I have a query she always responds to emails in detail and with care which has meant a lot. Thankyou very much for everything.
