Andrea’s excellence and commitment in her field, as well as her caring and incredibly thorough approach has made her one of the most sought after Nutritional Consultants in the country.

Andrea combines many aspects of her skills and caring nature into what she describes as “intuitive functional medicine and applied nutritional therapy”, this combined with a pharmacy background permits integration of the holistic with the conventional when necessary; no stone is left unturned in the journey to returning the client back to optimal health or the sports person back to peak performance.

Andrea has a great gift for ‘just knowing’ what is up, and gets to the core of the problem whether it is medical, functional, nutritional, emotional or something more. At the core of her philosophy is to make a difference and to bring the message about healthy eating and the truth on health and medicine to as many people as possible; that health is a wealth we all can benefit from given the right tools and support.

To Andrea, every patient matters; and to see her clients shine in their own lives with vitality and exuberance is the very goal of Andrea and her team at A-C Health Solutions.
