Doctor Verena - Nutrition, Kinesiology & Holistic Health (PhD Nutritional Sciences)

Words couldn’t simple be enough to explain the professional, knowledgeable and understanding service I have received from Doctor Verena. I first started working with Verena in January 2022 when my health was at its worst after a knock on affect from several different medications and procedures. I had been recommended to Verena, and even now when she has come up in joint conversations, again everyone speaks so highly of her! Verena has supported and guided me through some of the hardest months. Working on a platform of several different areas of symptoms ranging from gut inflammation, parasite, pathogens, pelvic pain and bladder pain, condition such as PCOS and Endometriosis also. From the start Verena has provided me with so much knowledge, knowledge like I have never seen from a practitioner before. Support, both in clinic and outside of clinic she has ALWAYS been there to support me through my journey. Verena has organised testing, supplement protocols, dietary amendments and suggestions along with in clinic sessions. As I say to most people, she has provided me with a space that I feel comfortable to open up about my struggles and feelings, and she has given me tools and advise on how to a-low my body to heal, and to heal past traumas. I still have a very long way to go, but we are slowly unpacking it all in a way that it should! Using western medicine has its place, but trust me with one thing - you will never ever regret picking the holistic and healing approach with Verena - thank you always!

I saw Doctor Verena a little while ago and she is absolutely lovely. She was able to help me understand my body and assist me to move into better lifestyle choices.

Meeting Dr Verena was a game changer for me! After suffering from severe sinus all my life (52yrs!). It took 2 months of prescribed medical grade supplements, diet change and therapy to finally be sinus free! Verena is professional, compassionate and holistic in her treatment. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Verena to friends (most friends have now seen her with equally dramatic results) and family. I only wish I’d found her soon. 5 star plus!

Doctor Verena is amazing. At the time of my first appointment i had been experiencing very consistent back pain for around 4-5 years progressively getting worse. After countless appointments with chiros, physios osteos, multiple MRIs, scans and doctor appointments- no one could come to a conclusive diagnosis as to why I had such a consistent pinching pain (let alone try to heal it.)

I was pretty ready to give up on the idea this was something I could heal all together and was trying to manage the pain as best I could. Until I met Verena! Verena got to the bottom (the root of the issue) and how this in turn was affecting organs in my back. I can finally say my back is healing, my sleep is no longer interrupted and I feel so much better!

Thank you so much Doctor Verena!

I was recommended to see Dr Verena after my daughter developed severe, constant abdominal pain that couldn't be diagnosed by gastroenterologists and other specialists. The pain was debilitating and had been going on for over a year by the time we saw her. Dr Verena was extremely knowledgeable and patient. She was very specific and methodical in her approach and treatment. She recommended precise supplements and dietary adjustments and after about 3 months we noticed the pain starting to subside. We are so grateful for her help, kindness and guidance throughout the whole treatment. My daughter's pain has completely gone and she has come off all her pain medications. It's so incredible that my daughter is now pain free and living life to the fullest! I can't sing Dr Verena's praises high enough! Thank you!

Dr. Verena has helped me in so many ways with mental and physical health problems, I call her my magician.she is brilliant.

Doctor Verena is ome of the most amazing doctors I've ever met. She is very knowledgeable and thorough and has changed my life. She takes the time to explain things on a physical, emotional and psychological level which I find refreshing and comforting. She encourages and motivates and makes you feel like you're not alone on your journey to health and wellbeing. Thankyou Doctor Verena!

I visited Dr Verena a couple of years ago as I was constantly dealing with Low iron and issues relating to my Pneumonia and Asthma however since my one appointment I have never had an issue with my iron nor a relapse of Pneumonia thank you <3

I’ve found Doctor Verena to be extremely experienced and knowledgeable, combining elements from various schools of thought to create a tailor-made service.

I came to see her for nutrition advice due to various factors in my life, and the experience has been more holistic than I expected, which has been really helpful for me. She has looked at a wide range of elements including psychology and lifestyle factors beyond just nutrition. Verena provides a level of experience and insight that I haven’t been able to access previously.

Each time I visit, Doctor Verena listens to how I have been going with the suggestions she made in the previous session, and she updates the protocol, so that I’m gaining an approach to nutrition and life that works for me personally. She works with my personal preferences and needs.

I feel I’m in very good hands seeing Doctor Verena and highly recommend sessions with with her to everyone interested.

I highly recommend Dr Verena. She is extremely professional, knowledgable and fantastic at her job.

Working with Verena has been life changing – the gut issues I have had for well over a decade are now in hand, (after many other attempts with other practitioners and on my own) and I am now well and becoming more ‘healthful’ each day.

I have found Verena to be insightful, instinctive and respectful; she deeply listens and has provided profound feedback that has altered not just my gut health but the way I am in the world - which of course are intimately intertwined… She has really facilitated the capacity of me and my body to heal.

My last two sessions with Verena have been online and it has been as rewarding as a face to face session… and I will definitely be accessing this aspect of her service more often; and while I am more than happy to make the near 3 hour return drive to visit Verena, online is a great option!

Verena was recommended to me by a friend. I got excited and wanted to meet Verena in order to discuss strategies to improve my health. I saw her to primarily find a holistic way to treat my arthritis and change my diet to balance my microbiome. Her approach was warm and emphatic. Verena listened to my body and words. Additionally, Verena was able to identify my kidneys were under stress because I didn’t drink enough water, which consequently made me feel anxious. Also, I was low in vitamin D, which I didn’t know, due to the covid-19 lockdown as I had to work from home for two months. Verena advised me to take Vitamin D3, highly purified and concentrated fish oil and probiotics to boost my immune system. I loved the affirmation Verena made for me. My affirmation describes who I am. I actually said to her “you are spot on! ”. She was able to articulate it, which I wasn’t, so it has had an amazing impact. Thank you Verena!:)

Dr Verena was recommended to me by a girlfriend of mine. I suffer from headaches and migraines for as long as I can remember. Dr Verena is treating me for my headaches with a approach by looking at a bigger picture looking at other organs and healing my gut making it healthy again. I am feeling a lot better - but not there yet! But much better. I also have more energy. Dr Verena is extremely helpful if you have questions you can email and you receive an answer promptly. I love the blogs and recipe's she puts on facebook and on instagram. She is always positive and patient and nothing is to much trouble. Personally I think she is pretty special.

After seeing doctors for ages in regards to my menopause symptoms I was guided to Dr V. I was hopeful but also unsure. She put my mind instantly at ease with her calming nature. She listened to me with compassion and I was able to leave the appointment with a way forward. The first time I had a proper plan of action in a long time. Thank you for giving me the power back over my body ️

I have never felt so much like the cliche of "get high on your own supply". I feel like i have had a coffee, only it doesn't fade away! I keep waiting for this feeling to leave me, but each day it returns and i couldn't be happier!
I ran into another client of yours at the supermarket last week and we were both jumping up and down like school children with praise and excitement over our appointments with you!

Meeting Dr Verena is one of the best thing to happen to me. I was recommended to her almost a year ago, as I had suffered from headaches from the age of 3. They only got worse from there, by the time I had turn 12 i had my first CT scan on my brain. The GP than diagnosed me with migraines, tried me on numerous prevention tablets that never worked, sending me to everyone and anyone, trying everything you could think of. Finally at the age of 18, I was sent to a nurologist who diagnosed me with chronic migraines. I had botox for about 5 years, whilst starting more prevention medication. The migraines got to a point where they were running my life, living with a headache every day not knowing if it was going to get worse or not, I didnt want to go out anymore, skipping work cause I just couldn't get up in the morning, putting my family and friends through hell watching me and being so helpless. Getting married in March 2020, I was so scared that our day would be ruined by one of these horrible things. March 2019 I went to see Verena, who started concentrating on fixing my gut health. She told me to stop eating wheat and sugar and put me on a few different minerals to get my gut health better. For the first 3 weeks while my body was detoxing, I was unsure as to whether this was going to help, but still hopeful that it would be a life saver. After the 3 week mark, I had gone headache free for just over a month, the first time since the age of 3. Since then, I have had minimal headaches, realising that sugar and digestion was a big factor to my headache/migraines. Once 1 part of my gut had healed, she would move onto the next part of my gut, giving me new minerals to take. Not only has she helped my head, but I feel so much healthier, I have lost about 10 kgs, my gut health is getting stronger and its working a lot better, I have more energy now, can handle stress a lot better, going out again, my family and friends have even noticed I'm a lot happier. I'm no longer worried about our wedding day being ruined by a migraine. So much has changed over the last 10 months and I owe it all to Dr Verena. I would recommend her to anyone!

Verena was recommended to me when I was on the hunt for a naturopath or holistic nutritionist. I had struggled from hormone imbalance and feeling bloated, sluggish and troubles sleeping. I felt like my body hated me.
It was a great experience to visit Verena. It felt like she spoke to my body and could feel and hear things I couldn't.
I noticed instant change after my first visit, sticking to her diet recommendations and the natural supplements that she provided. Today, 4 months later, I feel like I'm at the best I've ever been. I sleep like a baby, feel energetic, not bloated and also got rid of my hay fever.
I would strongly recommend Verena to anyone suffering from chronic disease, hormone imbalance, depression, or just feel like something isn't right.

Recently my leg was bitten by an insect at work. I was symptom free initially, but after 24 hours the area became inflamed and very itchy to the point that it woke me up multiple times during the night. I saw my GP and he said that my leg was infected and my only option was to take antibiotics. That’s when I contacted Doctor Verena to see if I could explore other more holistic avenues first. She recommended for me to take immune enhancing probiotics in combination with antimicrobial herbs, including phellodendron, thyme oil, clove oil and oregano each morning and night. As a result of following this protocol, my body was able to heal from the infection naturally within the week! So it turns out that antibiotics were not my only option. Thank you Doctor Verena for all the amazing work you do, I'm so grateful for all of your help.

I attended Verena's Slim Gut presentation. I was immediately impressed with Verena's professional and welcoming approach.
She delivered information in an ordered and accessible way, making this topic easy to understand. Putting things into practice in our own lives is harder, and Verena helped with practical tips for implementation.
Well done Verena

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I was referred to Dr Verena just before we had our first child and to help treat my energy levels that had been consistently dropping to the point I could barely keep awake most afternoons. Can you imagine being a father for the first time and having no energy BEFORE the birth?

Verena treated me and made sense of the some of the factors that were effecting me in this way. Even though I was fairly healthy and fit, after a few Kinesiology sessions she identified that my body was not absorbing certain minerals. Within 3-4 weeks, I noticed a considerable change in my energy, focus and mood and throughout this process, Verena has helped me understand more about myself, what genetic makeup I inherited from my parents and what effect this has had on me over the years.
Her training and insights are truly remarkable and I'd highly recommend her to anyone who wants to experience real change in their lives.

Thanks Verena!
