consult

We are an organisation with the specialised focus of one-on-one coaching for those seeking optimum health, wellness, and fitness. 

Our services have been developed by founding director Ian Craig as a result of 25+ years of clinical practice, with nutrition as a central focus.

During this time, Ian has closely observed the most effective strategic interventions in order to reach lasting health improvements with his clients. One of the key factors he has identified is the need for a high level of mental and emotional 'readiness' to confidently embrace new and more effective ways, as the old (inhibitory) patterns are genuinely put to rest. 

He has consistently noticed that his clients who achieve the best results are those who engage fully in the process and invest sufficient time and energy to leverage some important changes in their lives. 

Team approach

Ian also noticed that when he collaborates with other practitioners to help a client, results are further increased - in other words, if you have a team of support around you, your chances of moving towards your health goals are greatly improved. As such, Ian has developed a truly talented network of practitioners to support your health: our core team collectively practice nutritional, exercise and psychological coaching, natural cookery, and integrative medicine - a powerful combination when it comes to behavioural change for health.
From the beginning of 2023 we have welcomed Dr Ruth Wilde to our team. Ruth is a talented integrative sports medicine doctor, who specialises in the sports and rehabilitation field, as well as in health optimisation. Together, all our practitioners take pride in ensuring that we form synergistic relationships with you, our clients; motivating you to live life as fully as you can, and in the best possible health.

Additionally, with our strong sporting backgrounds, we offer core support to sports people, both elite and recreational. In this regard, we offer the following areas of specialisation:

    - Support to injury recovery and reducing risk of recurrent injury

Session options

You have the choice of a 4-session or 5-session option, based on your particular needs:

The 4-session programme encompasses nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle coaching, but does not include integrative medicine with Dr Ruth Wilde. Choose this option if you do not have any particular medical concerns, and you wish to focus more on nutrition and lifestyle changes for the betterment of health and/or performance.

The 5-session programme encompasses integrative medicine (with Dr Ruth Wilde), nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle coaching. Choose this option if you have medical needs or health concerns, that may benefit from laboratory investigation, or if you desire a deeper dive into health and performance optimisation via testing-informed interventions.

Based on what we learn during the initial consultation with you, your package will be created in a bespoke way for you. Examples of how your 4-session or 5-session programme may be constructed are displayed in the tables below.
