Lifestyle Medicine:
Lifestyle Medicine is evidence-based, clinical care that supports behaviour change through person-centered techniques to improve mental wellbeing, social connection, healthy eating, physical activity, sleep and minimisation of harmful substances and behaviours. (Source - British Society of Lifestyle Medicine)
Precision Health:
The goal of precision health is to protect your health by measuring these factors that affect your health such as environment, behaviours (including dietary, exercise), your genes and acting on them through preventative and wellness approaches that everyone can do on their own to protect their health
ASSOCIATE'S BACKGROUND
HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE INDUSTRY THAT YOU ARE IN NOW?
My curiosity of the human mind and passion for the sciences led me to study Medicine where I was able to combine both. Women’s wellbeing in particular was always of interest and so I specialised as an OBGYN, allowing me to explore the female journey even further.
I found myself becoming disappointed that I could not offer more to patients and felt we could do better. Embarking on Lifestyle medicine and precision health gave me a glimpse of what was possible by giving women agency, education and alternative options, and this is what I believe the future of medicine will look like.

THE PERSON OUTSIDE OF WORK
At Elevate BC we pride ourselves on working to achieve work-life balance for both ourselves as well as our clients, we believe that it's important to understand the person outside of work to really know what motivates them. As part of this we would like you to get to know what drives our Team so we have included a few interesting and fun facts!
SPORTS & EXERCISE (Physical well-being)
Rock Climbing
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?
Any opportunity to get back to nature thrills me, a hint of adventure and I am there. As a family we have been fortunate to travel and once a year I ensure my daughter and I spend time off grid to recalibrate and recognise the luxury that is modern living.
WHAT DO YOU TO UNWIND & RELAX?
I value the time to exercise increasingly as life gets busier but love having an hour with whatever I am reading and a cup of earl grey tea.
FAVOURITE BOOK & WHY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT?
The first book to shape and challenge my opinions was ‘Pride and Prejudice’, Jane Austen was ahead of her time! Later in life the book that made me reflect on my work life balance ‘The 4 hour work week’ by Tim Ferris
