About Katrina Willcox
Katrina holds the belief that nutrition and complementary healthcare work very effectively alongside conventional medicine, or independently, to optimise a person's health and wellbeing. Her approach is caring and supportive. Her treatments are based predominantly on nutrition via functional medicine, providing effective, science-based healthcare, personalised to the individual. Katrina originally studied Business, gaining a first class BA Honours degree which led her to a career in the city, which she continued until giving birth to her first child. Complications arose resulting in a sick baby and no obvious medical solutions. She decided to try natural medicine, which was successful and this therapeutic experience convinced her to embark on a new career in nutrition and complementary healthcare. Since then Katrina has qualified as a Nutritional Therapist and Naturopath with the respected College of Naturopathic Medicine, London, following 6 years of study. She now has 3 children, and especially enjoys working with women and children's health concerns; from nutritional support during pregnancy to autism, digestive and menopausal issues. Passionate about helping individuals to achieve their personal health goals, she believes in identifying the factors causing a person’s ill health, then supporting and guiding them to return to good health.

Our Philosophy
Our Philosophy combines a functional medicine approach inclusive of
nutritional therapy and naturopathy.
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is science based healthcare, personalised to the individual, which deals with prevention and the underlying cause of illness. It's principles include: recognition of biochemical individuality, genetic and environmental differences; person centered - focusing on curing the person rather than the disease; balancing external and internal factors; recognising that the human body is a network of interconnected systems; health as vitality not just the absence of disease; and protecting organs to enhance a healthy lifespan.
Nutritional Therapy
Nutritional Therapy simply involves providing your body with the right food including macro and micro nutrients to keep you healthy. Naturopathic Nutrition stresses the use of whole and organic foods as medicine. A return to chemical-free foods, along with other dietary measures, is an effective answer to many health complaints and common conditions. What you eat has a profound effect on how you look, feel and think. As Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine is famously quoted as saying: "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food".
Naturopathy
Naturopathy by utilising the wisdom of nature through traditional healing methods, naturopathic medicine focuses on holistic, proactive prevention and comprehensive treatment. In modern times with technology, environmental pollution, poor diet and stress playing a significant role in ill health, naturopathy is especially important in helping the body to restore and maintain optimal wellbeing. Naturopathy applies natural therapies which may include: nutrition, detoxification, homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, tissues salts, Bach flower remedies, exercise, lifestyle advice and various others.
Katrina's Testimonials
"Before visiting Katrina I had suffered from terrible stomach discomfort for at least 15 years after eating certain foods, and was diagnosed with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). The symptoms at times were so bad I could not sit in a meeting easily. This meant that my diet became quite restricted, to try and avoid embarrassment in certain situations. Whilst I thought the problem was solely related to food intolerance, Katrina identified a number of deficiencies / bad bacteria in my digestive system. Through taking a series of natural medication over 6 weeks that Katrina recommended these terrible symptoms have been miraculously cured and I am able to eat most foods much more freely than before. I would highly recommend Katrina to anybody with acute health issues or just for general wellbeing."

"Having suffered regularly with severe migraine headaches accompanied by nausea, vomiting and visual disturbances for the previous 5 years, that were causing significant disruption to my life, I was keen to try nutrition and natural therapeutics to try to resolve them! The result was amazing, as after following the dietary and lifestyle advice, along with the 3 nutritional supplements all recommended by Katrina, my headaches had literally gone and have not come back since! I would certainly recommend anyone trying the approach offered by Katrina at The Well Natural Health, it really works!"
