Introducing Cush
My world changed when my health crashed as a result of the stresses of twenty years in the corporate environment. The birth of my youngest child at this time meant I had to change or go under. I turned to my long held interest in natural health and the mind body connection to search for answers to my own ill health and to discover just what was wrong with my baby.
Qualifications
I am qualified in Nutritional Therapy; Functional Evaluation; Herbal Medicine; Advanced Test Analysis; Fitgenes; Neuromuscular Therapy; Life Coaching; and BodyTalk. I am trained in Human Science; Disease Processes; and Biochemistry. This experience has given me an understanding of the orthodox approach to health as well as a good science-based knowledge and qualification. I love learning and enriching my knowledge.
I am able to apply my analytical thinking from my business career to my patient cases and this system has helped complex and difficult cases reveal to me the way forward to restore good health.
How I Like Working
I use a functional medicine approach to my clinical practice using my knowledge and experience to support this. I take a broad focus on the mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and social aspects of wellbeing and wholeness of health. The goal of this approach is to find the root cause of any unease or dysfunction in the body and work with this to restore optimal health and a balanced lifestyle. I use a number of functional tests to assist me e.g., stool analysis; hormone testing; blood tests; DNA profiles; functional evaluation; zinc taste tally; urinary pH; hair tissue mineral analysis; salivary cortisol stress profiles; food journals; online nutritional assessment questionnaires; and more.
I am well experienced in the areas of the digestive system; fatigue; weight management; gene expression; the effects of stress on the health and wellbeing of the mind/body complex; and children on the autism spectrum. I am passionate in encouraging, supporting and educating my patients to develop and maintain a healthy body and lifestyle which brings the benefits of good energy levels, healthy ageing and enjoyment of life.
I am also a Nutritional Therapist, Certified Gluten Practitioner and BodyTalk practitioner and encourage my patients to add regular BodyTalk sessions into their treatment plans if they are looking for faster results.
