Rooted in nature,
guided by science
Are you dealing with ongoing, complex or unresolved health concerns?
- Perhaps you’re experiencing persistent symptoms, managing a chronic condition, or seeking answers for yourself or your child.
- You may have already seen multiple practitioners, made dietary or lifestyle changes, or tried different treatments, yet your symptoms continue, return or remain unexplained.
- Perhaps you’ve been told your blood tests are “normal”, that there’s no clear explanation for how you’re feeling, or that your symptoms may be psychological – despite knowing something isn’t right.
At Testament Health & Wellness, I take a personalised, root-cause approach, integrating principles of Functional Medicine, Nutritional Therapy and Naturopathic Medicine to explore the wider picture and identify factors that may be contributing to your health concerns.
Health is influenced by many interconnected systems, including gut and microbiome health, immune function, inflammation, stress, hormones, metabolism, nutrition, genetics and environmental exposures. When symptoms are persistent or complex, there are usually multiple contributing factors involved.
My approach focuses on understanding how and why these factors may be affecting your health, using detailed health assessments and, where appropriate, specialist laboratory testing to gain deeper insight.
From there, we can develop a personalised plan incorporating nutritional, lifestyle, naturopathic and functional medicine approaches to address the underlying drivers and contributing factors identified.
The encouraging part is that, when these factors are understood and appropriately addressed, the body has a remarkable capacity to adapt, repair and heal. The aim is to support these processes, improve function and help you work towards meaningful, lasting improvements in your health.
If you’re ready to explore what may be contributing to your health concerns, book an initial consultation or a complimentary discovery call to discuss the next steps.

About Tess
I’m Tess, founder and lead practitioner of Testament Health & Wellness. I’m a qualified Nutritional Therapist and Naturopath, with a background in biomedicine, and I use a Functional Medicine and root-cause approach to understand the wider health picture and provide personalised, integrative support.
I am also trained in IV Nutrient Therapy and phlebotomy, allowing me to offer a broader range of clinical and supportive services within my practice.
I have a particular interest in complex chronic and immune-related conditions, supported by specialist training in tick-borne illness, PANS/PANDAS and neuroimmune presentations, mould and mycotoxin-related illness, neurodevelopmental presentations, and immune dysfunction and regulation.
My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience of complex chronic illness, giving me a particular understanding of how difficult it can be when symptoms are persistent, complex or difficult to explain, and when conventional investigations or treatments do not provide the full answer.
Before retraining in health, I worked as a Special Educational Needs (SEN) teacher, giving me additional experience and understanding when supporting children and families with complex or neurodevelopmental needs.
I am a registered member of the General Naturopathic Council (GNC) and the Association of Naturopathic Practitioners (ANP), and a member of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS).
An Integrated Approach to Health.
What is Functional Medicine, Nutritional Therapy and Naturopathic Medicine?
Functional Medicine, Nutritional Therapy and Naturopathic Medicine are closely linked, sharing an integrative, systems-based and root-cause focus that asks not only what symptoms are present, but why they may be happening, which factors may be contributing, and how different systems of the body may be connected.
Together, they provide a broader way of understanding health, while each brings a slightly different focus.
Functional Medicine provides a systems-based framework for understanding how areas such as the gut, immune system, hormones, metabolism, inflammation, genetics and environment may interact.
Nutritional Therapy focuses more closely on the role of food, nutrients, metabolic function and targeted supplementation.
Naturopathic Medicine draws on a broader range of natural approaches, including herbal medicine, mycotherapy, homeopathy and lifestyle support.
These approaches all aim to address the underlying causes and contributing factors of health concerns, while supporting the body’s natural capacity for healing. Although each brings a different focus and uses different techniques, together they complement and enhance one another as part of a comprehensive approach to health.
I integrate these approaches according to the individual, giving me a broad range of modalities and tools to draw on depending on what each person needs.
Within my practice, I can also draw on additional tools such as specialist laboratory testing, phlebotomy services and IV nutrient therapy to support deeper investigation and provide more targeted nutritional and clinical support.
