I have been working with Josephine for the last few months to address issues around anaemia and a long history of unresolved stomach discomfort. During this time, we have implemented a modified diet and regime of supplements, as well as regular checks and blood tests. These actions resulted in measurable improvements in both my gut health and mineral absorption, confirmed through multiple blood tests. I continue to seek her input and advice through regular consultations and adjustments to diet.
Diet and gut health corrections advised by Josephine are finally addressing years of unresolved stomach discomfort. My energy has increased, my mind is clearer and both my digestion and stomach are in better condition than before.
Josephine is professional, personable, forthright, and highly knowledgeable about nutrition, gut health, diet and supplements and natural remedies. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking to improve their health, nutrition and wellbeing.

For the longest time I thought it was normal to feel tired or below average everyday. Growing up throughout my teens and early 20s, I’d always had different kinds of digestive, skin and anxiety symptoms that not only affected my work but also my personal life. I had tried many different diets from Paleo to low FODMAP, worked with a gastroenterologist and multiple dermatologists, and unwisely took all kinds of supplements that were solely based on my general research.
Luckily those fearful days are gone after I met Josephine 6 months ago. Guided by her extensive knowledge and experience, not only has my physical health recovered quickly, but also my mental and spiritual health. With more energy, I enjoy my work and appreciate life a lot more. In fact, my family and friends could see a positive and significant change in me within several months after working with her.
I’m extremely grateful to have Josephine as my health practitioner. She is the only practitioner who wanted to target the root of all my symptoms. She is definitely an answered prayer and heaven-sent. She is extremely patient, relentless and brilliant. I owe her so much and cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for an incredible functional medicine practitioner.
Tony Tran, Business Owner, Vietnam
For some years I suffered from a host of gastrointestinal symptoms ranging from severe IBS, reflux, bloating to burping that could last for hours! My digestion was poor especially with oily, fatty and starchy foods. I had skin rashes and athlete’s foot. My sister, who was a client of Josephine, referred me to her.
Josephine’s detailed consultation brought to light various possible causes, among them was quite a long course of antibiotics after I was diagnosed with proctitis and specific nutrient deficiencies that impaired my digestion and possibly affected my skin and the health of my gut.
I undertook a comprehensive stool test which pinpointed a yeast infection, imbalances in the bacteria and low immunity in my gut.
Within a few weeks of following my programme, my IBS and other gut and skin symptoms all improved. Before I finished the entire programme, I was pretty much symptom free. Now I know where my weaknesses are in my digestion and what to do to address this.
Thank you Josephine for the total care you gave me. And for taking time to explain everything, including the test results in detail.
J. Lim, Environmental Officer, Singapore
I am very happy with Josephine's treatment and consultations as she managed to get my overall well-being back on track.
Josephine helped to get my thyroid nodule not only to stop growing but also to reduce in size. I was confronted with a very drastic measure of full removal of my thyroid and am very thankful to have found, through Josephine, a much more human, natural and balanced way to deal with it.
Josephine knows all the details about which supplements to take, what diet to follow and which tests to do. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with similar issues like me.
A. Greenfield, Manager, Vietnam
I have recommended Josephine to a number of my friends. She is one of the rare therapists who will dig down very deep to find the problems. She presents everything very clearly with clear instructions of what to do to self heal.
Josephine’s knowledge is extensive. I have done years of research, but she is still able to inform me of things that I should and should not do.
She has single handedly resolved my thyroid issue and is helping me with some digestive issues that I have been trying to investigate for years now.
L. McCullough, Interior Designer, Hong Kong
Prior to consulting you (Josephine) I had been on a large daily dose of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and I approached you with the aim of reducing the severity of my Crohn’s symptoms and thereby reducing my dependence on prescription drugs.
Over the past 6 months I have been free from any significant Crohn’s flare-ups and I have not had a single mouth ulcer. I’m generally fitter, happier and healthier. Thank you.
T. Hammond, TV Producer, United Kingdom
I took the Metabolic Balance programme with you while you were living in Hong Kong. MB really suited me. I lost body fat and my body seemed to find its own balance. It taught me to appreciate the real taste of fresh food and to appreciate every bite.
You gave me so much support and extra help after the strict phase when I had to travel and especially during the tempting holiday season.
When I fell back into old habits and gave in to temptations for too long, my weight not surprisingly went up. But I found I could redo the strict phase to get my weight down again. I reread my notes and the tips you gave me to inspire me once again. Thank you.
CH Tan, Homemaker, Singapore
I’m an avid biohacker and have done a lot to modify my diet and lifestyle to get my health to where I want it to be. But I found I could not get beyond a certain point on my own and sought out Josephine.
My experience with Josephine was indepth, instructive and inspirational. Using a meticulous enquiry and planning approach, she guided me to implement diet and lifestyle changes that were truly personalized to my life stage needs and unique DNA profile.
Her attention to details when interpreting my blood work and genetic testing result was particularly impressive, expertly sorting out the wheat from the chaff. I call it the Rolls Royce experience!
Kang KH, Health Coach, Singapore
I went to Josephine for help with a gynaecological matter, which had been diagnosed over 10 years ago, and a persistent skin problem.
Josephine has enabled me to understand how what I eat can contribute to these conditions and has helped me to improve my nutritional status as a vegetarian, in particular my protein intake. The most dramatic improvement has been my skin which was dealt with by tackling the cause, a fungal condition, through avoiding sugar and yeast in my food, taking specific supplements and a cleansing treatment. I can say my skin has never been better.
My gynaecological issue has improved as well.
I have learnt a lot of techniques and food ideas with which I am confident will enable me to have more control should I experience any of these conditions again. I have found Josephine's help invaluable.
Lorraine Francique, Social Worker, United Kingdom
Josephine, I just want to give you a little update. It is almost miraculous. My energy levels are as good as they ever were. I am waking up and ready to start the day easily and sleeping better, though probably for a little longer.
I am exercising harder but that is because I can. I am running 2-3 times a week, swimming once and weights once.
The cravings are reduced and the weight seems to be finally receding. I have only been on the supplements for 3 weeks and have amended my diet as you directed. Thank you!
M. Posner, Finance Manager, United Kingdom
Josephine is a one-of-a-kind nutritionist. I was referred to her when I was looking to assess my health status and to take preventive measures against certain health issues due to a family history of these. She gave me a very comprehensive assessment, including some testing and I came away with a personalised health plan.
I also had some niggling gut symptoms that I didn’t pay much attention to. These became more pronounced and Josephine helped me resolve these.
Josephine portrays a high level of professionalism and enthusiasm in every task she undertakes. She constantly reminds me of the importance of eating right and encouraged me to cook proper food. I’m not perfect at these but I have come a long way.
She monitors my progress on a regular basis and I continue to work with her to keep my health in good shape.
J. Li, Vice President Marketing, Singapore
I was introduced to Josephine to help explore the underlining cause as to why I became critically ill. The illness felt like it came out of the blue and after the critical stage, left me feeling exhausted.
Over six months Josephine has greatly improved my overall health. She restored my energy and helped me greatly with my gut and skin issues.
She has great knowledge and experience in complex cases. She has access to specialised tests and supplements that are hard to get hold of in Singapore.
Thank you for the great results.
I. Arora, Finance Executive, Singapore
Thank you for getting me to start cooking at home. It has come in extremely handy amidst the coronavirus chaos, so I can stay home, without having to keep going out to get food. Home-cooking was quite intimidating to start initially and I am thankful for your patience for allowing me to start small and slow at first.
While I came to you seeking help for digestion issues, you went beyond and taught me the holistic way to manage and heal. Every session brings about a sense of calmness and serenity, and has given me important pointers to make changes to my diet, lifestyle and stress management.
L. F., Teacher, Singapore
I just want to say thank you so much for working with me these many months on my diet and detox. I had 3 failed IVFs before I came to see you and I’ve been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition.
Someone said to me recently that fertility is health and I genuinely believe that your guidance in cleaning up my diet and starting the mycotoxin detox must have changed my hormonal milieu sufficiently to even allow me to fall pregnant.
Granted it’s still early days in the pregnancy but I am very encouraged by the news nevertheless.
R. Ng, Doctor, Singapore
I first consulted Josephine 7 months ago after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) autoimmune condition. The MS affected my eye sight, caused hand tremors and poor energy. I was terribly stressed and worried, especially about my symptoms getting worse which led to severe insomnia.
Josephine did a thorough walkthrough with me on my health history, lifestyle and food habits and ordered comprehensive blood and stool tests to help identify the root of my health issues and the imbalances in my body.
By following her detailed food plan, taking targeted supplements, I started to heal within weeks. I have not had any flare ups and I have been symptom-free for the past 6 months. The results are also evident in my follow-up tests, including inflammatory marker ESR which has dropped significantly.
I’m much happier and in good health. My family has also noticed the positive changes in me since I started to work with Josephine.
I'm so grateful to her and I'm not sure where I would be without her guidance. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient and detailed in her explanations. Josephine and her guidance has changed my life and I wholeheartedly believe it will change yours too, if you are looking to improve your health and nutrition.
K.R., Analyst, Singapore
When my husband and I moved to Jakarta in 2018, I suffered from an autoimmune thyroid condition, disrupted and an out-of-balance reproductive cycle, and my husband and I both felt like we were “always” getting sick. We sought out Josephine’s help 18 months ago to address these various ailments with the hope of strengthening our overall health and well-being, and with the goal of finally starting a family.
We greatly appreciated Josephine’s attention to detail and to data - her approach to digging into each of these issues thoroughly so that we could effectively address the underlying issues, not just the immediate symptoms. Through repeated testing and tailoring of diet, exercise, and where necessary, high quality supplements, together we approached becoming healthy and balanced in a holistic manner.
Since we began working with Josephine, we have seen our health steadily improve. First, we stopped getting sick all the time. In a matter of months, my menses returned to normal and my thyroid panels began to improve. After working with Josephine for a year, I successfully got pregnant.
What we have appreciated the most from our work with Josephine has been the science-based, personalized care. She always takes the time to explain the how and why of each step we take. This approach not only sets us up for success now, but also for a healthier future, long after our consultations with Josephine have ended. We now possess a far greater understanding of our own body and its systems, and the connection that our diet and lifestyle choices have with our overall health.
