Meet Amina

When you’ve been told it’s “all normal” - but you know it isn’t.

Many of Amina’s patients arrive after years of tests, specialists and dead ends, still searching for an answer. She listens to the whole story, then uses her diagnostic skill and functional testing to find the pieces others have missed.

An award-winning naturopath, medical herbalist and nutritionist, Amina has spent 30+ years working with chronic, complex and undiagnosed illness. Much of her work comes by referral from medical doctors and other practitioners, and she is widely respected for her expertise in stealth infections, Lyme Borreliosis and chronic fatigue. As a former British-trained beauty therapist, she also brings real depth to stubborn skin conditions.

Watch

A few minutes with Amina.

A short look at Amina, her approach to complex chronic illness, and the calm, considered care that has supported patients for over 30 years.

The approach

Finding the missing pieces of the puzzle.

Complex illness is rarely caused by one thing. Amina’s work is detective work: mapping the overlap of infections, gut health, genetics and the nervous system, then supporting each system so your body can do what it’s designed to do. It is a considered, individualised process, never a template.

01

A thorough first consultation

Your full history, timeline and symptoms are reviewed in depth, including the cases that have been called "normal" or left undiagnosed elsewhere. Nothing is rushed.

02

Comprehensive functional & genetic testing

Where it adds clarity, Amina uses functional medicine testing and nutrigenomic profiling to find the missing pieces of the puzzle, from gut and stealth-infection markers to genetic susceptibilities.

03

An individualised herbal & nutrition plan

Your results shape a tailored protocol of herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle support, built around your body, your genetics and your life, not a template.

04

Ongoing review and refinement

Complex illness rarely resolves in one appointment. Amina reviews progress and adjusts your plan over time, supporting each system of the body so it can do its work.

What Amina works with

Testing & nutrigenomics

The testing that turns guesswork into a plan.

Functional medicine testing often fills in the missing pieces, so treatment can be precise rather than trial and error. After 5 years of nutrigenomics study, Amina also reads your genetic profile to understand the susceptibilities behind your symptoms and tailor your protocol accordingly.

Gut microbiome & comprehensive stool analysis
SIBO breath testing (methane, hydrogen, hydrogen sulphide)
Parasite, candida & H. pylori testing
Lyme Borreliosis & co-infection panels
Mould (ERMI), mycotoxins & CIRS markers
Nutrigenomics: MTHFR, COMT, CBS, SUOX & more
DUTCH & saliva hormone profiling
Nutritional, thyroid & inflammatory markers

The right tests for you are chosen together at consultation, never ordered for the sake of it.

Amina focuses on complex, chronic and often undiagnosed illness, including stealth and chronic infections (Epstein Barr Virus, post-COVID, Lyme Borreliosis, SIBO, gut parasites and mould illness), fatigue and brain fog, digestive issues, skin conditions, mood, and hormonal health.

During your consultation, Amina determines which tests, if any, will add the most clarity for your situation, and the most appropriate laboratory. Testing can range from gut, SIBO and stealth-infection panels to mould toxins, hormones and nutrigenomic (genetic) profiling, helping tailor your treatment and, where relevant, plan proactively around the susceptibilities your profile suggests.
