Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

Hi I'm Dr Margriet and I run a small fucntional medicine practice in Suffolk, where I offer one-to-one functional medicine consultations , as well as health coaching support. I am a huge fan of working in a way that is all about understanding what has gone wrong, and why, and how we can support the body to be well again. I also hugely value the connection between the physical,mental and emotional aspects of well-being , and we include these dimensions in our work together. I work with clients on a variety of issues- anything that you might take to a GP we can work on, but be prepared for the slightly different approach that is functional medicine!

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

I work one to one with my clients, using the functional medicine model to create a really broad approach to your health issues. 
If you are new to functional medicine and not sure of this approach is right for you, I offer a complimentary 15 minute phone appointment to talk things through. Just text me on the number above, and I will be in touch. 
If, after we have spoken, you decide to go ahead, you will then receive some forms to complete and a contract to sign, and then we get you booked in for your first appointment.
The first appointment typically takes about 90 minutes and once we have completed that, we will usually meet once a month, depending on what is needed. 
All appointments are face-to-face at the clinic.
