The Academy of Wellness

Nutritional and Life Management Skills

As your ‘Integrative Health & Wellness Practitioner’ Mary-Lou specializes in several areas to promote Whole Body Healing. She focuses on all aspects of health, be it physical, emotional, professional (career/goals/desires oriented), or lifestyle, in order to achieve the best outcome. In keeping with the current global practice of Integrative and Functional Medicine approaches, which she teaches and practices, Mary-Lou firmly ascribes to the philosophy that we are not 'little individual compartments of Being' to be treated 'bit by bit'... Our bodies are incredible organisms with the innate ability to self heal, given the appropriate tools. We do not put diesel into our petrol cars and expect them to go very far, but incredibly, we expect our bodies to perform with inappropriate fuel sources (nutrition and energy), and Keep Going!!!  Whether it be a Nutritional or Life Management Skills consultation, Mary-Lou adopts a balanced approach, in order to ascertain what the key underlying imbalance/s may be.  It is encouraging to note how well the body can recover, repair, and regain optimal function, when these principles are applied.  Whether it is a stress response, hidden emotional blocks, physical imbalance in your body's biochemistry (nutritional approach), or simply a need for emotional clearing  it is her focus to help you identify what this underlying imbalance may be, and to recommend ways to assist you with recreating 'body balance' to promote Whole Body Healing.  Mary-Lou is clear about the need for ongoing support for the duration of your healing journey, for as long as may be necessary or appropriate, be it for a ‘Life Management Skills’ or a ‘Nutritional’ Consultation,

 or an Emotional Clearing.  

Mary-Lou's commitment is to walk alongside you, as you move toward achieving your health goals. As a result of the level of caring for her Clients' Wellbeing, a high percentage (90-95%) of her  business is from repeat customers and referrals. 

The consultations mainly take place online; on Skype, What’s App Video or Facebook Messenger Video, in the privacy of your own home, as this is usually YOUR 'safe space', and that way you do not drive through the traffic after the session, which may undo all the work we would have just done!  

If you prefer to be seen face to face at a venue, you are welcome to arrange this directly with Mary-Lou, after booking your consultation. Any accommodations or travelling costs will be incurred by you.
