Joanna Chambreau, DHM, DFM PhD.
Meet Joanna Chambreau
Doctor of Holistic & Functional Medicine
My interest in health goes beyond professional training. It's personal.
My own health struggles led me to question conventional approaches and explore other ways of understanding the body. That experience, combined with my education and professional training, shapes how I work with clients today. My aim in life it to help you uncover the deeper patterns behind your health so you can feel your best again.
When your body feels out of balance - whether through fatigue, digestive concerns, metabolic changes, or unexplained symptoms - finding answers requires looking at the whole picture.
My approach combines the principles of holistic health, honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit, with functional diagnostic tools when deeper investigation is needed.
My Health Story
I really started to question the ways of the world when I had my own health issues for years and was hospitalised twice with severe stomach cramping - literally doubling over in pain.
The doctors didn't provide me with any real answers. They suggested it was women's health issues, muscular issues, even a misdiagnosis of appendicitis where they were all ready to get me on the operating table and cut me open - yikes!
And you know what the problem was? None of the above. It was a digestive issue, and I eventually figured the problem out all on my own. You can say I went with my 'gut' feeling.
That experience changed the way I looked at health. It taught me the importance of looking beyond the obvious and considering the many factors that can influence how we feel. It also sparked my desire to understand the body more deeply and help others who are struggling to find answers.
So if you aren't satisfied with where your health currently is, or you just have that feeling that there is more going on with your well-being than you are being told, this is where I come in.
My Goal For You
Every person's health journey is different. Symptoms can have multiple contributing factors, and what works for one person may not be the right approach for another.
I take the time to look at the bigger picture, consider your individual health history, and explore factors that may be contributing to your concerns. My aim is to help you better understand your health, identify areas that may warrant further attention, and develop a personalized approach based on your individual needs and goals.
I don't believe in simply chasing symptoms or assuming there is one explanation for everything. I believe in asking questions, exploring possibilities, and looking at the person as a whole.
My combination of personal experience, education, and professional training allows me to approach health from multiple perspectives, with the goal of helping you make more informed decisions about your health - and not just in the short term - the health information and skills you will learn for me will serve you and perhaps even your family, for the remainder of your life.
Think of me as a Health Detective helping you to get down to the underlying root causes of your symptoms.
