"Pete is a truly accomplished practitioner who truly understands the bidirectional link between the innate immune barriers in the mouth, gut and brain and how the oral cavity and it’s association to systemic diseases plays as a foundational piece of the puzzle of helping treat his patients systemically and locally for a much better health span."

Complex chronic disease is just that, complex.

We are a team of dedicated Institute for Functional Medicine certified practitioners. We have had years of experience applying Functional Medicine in clinical practice and this has allowed us to evolve and continually learn both from our own experiences and those of our patients.

Our IFM certification means we differ from most other functional medicine practitioners due to our rigorous training and examination. Our certification is recognised as “the gold standard of functional medicine training worldwide”.

Quick fix medication ignores the fact that humans are also complex eco-systems, that need multiple interventions rather than a single bullet approach. Functional medicine is a model of care that combines both traditional and emerging treatments to help identify imbalances that are at the roots of your illness.

“I think anyone with the right attitude and correct guidance can heal themselves. They just need an operating system to put all the bits and pieces together. That’s Functional Medicine”

Pete Williams

You are unique.

No two people have the same genetic make-up, history or life experiences, which is why you need a health plan which is unique to you. A multifaceted approach looks to better understand your genetic makeup and how those genetics are influenced from your ever-changing environment and lifestyle.

Providing a safe space for you to heal
