My name is Marie McDonald, I am a FNTP.

My aim is to empower people to take control of their health through nourishing foods, targeted supplements and lifestyle changes to discover the positive impact that can have on their mind, body and spirit, to unlock the body’s innate vitality and healing power.

Our body gives us warning signs every day about underlying dysfunction and imbalances. (fatigue, bloating, weight gain, hormone fluctuations, migraines etc, etc.

As an Functional Nutritionist we take a holistic look into those warning signs to gain an understanding of how your body is functioning, what dysfunction and imbalances may exist, then focus on supporting the body’s physiology to bring it into balance.

Utilizing functional testing and functional clinical assessment techniques, I am able to provide you with a bio-individual program.
