Welcome to the beginning of your journey

to revitalised health and wellbeing  

Hello!

My name is Dr Chechi.

I am looking forward to assisting you on your journey to greater vitality and wellbeing. I have spent the last 16 years studying, training, and treating thousands of patients. As someone who began their training in the conventional Medicine route, something began to dawn on me. It’s not enough. I needed to go above and beyond so I could give my patients the care they deserve! Chronic pain, mental health problems, tired all the time, multiple non-specific symptoms that didn’t fit the biomedical model, how do I help these people? And in 10 mins!

That’s when I delved into the holistic mind-body-soul approach, and learned how to implement this into my practice - patient-centred and evidence-based! I draw on the wisdom of practitioners of the (living) traditional medicines, whilst engaging with the latest developments in nutrition, exercise, sleep medicine, and trauma. This is then combined with conventional medical practice and research. It is an exciting, integrative approach, that really is the ‘wholistic’ medicine of the future!
