ABOUT MANDIE
|
Mandie's pragmatic and investigative approach to health and well-being, are built upon the complexities of her lived experiences that has entailed, C-ptsd, high risk pregnancies, neonatal loss, major surgeries, chronic health conditions, and as a primary caregiver; ultimately led Mandie to retrain in Integrative Healthcare. Origin is the Functional Health consultancy practice; a division of Mandie's established Care Company that has been operating within Adult Social Care Sector since 1997 and Directorship since 2013. Founding Origin (the point or place where something begins, arises, or is derived) has been a personal and professional journey. A place where rock bottom became the mud; with time I started to grow, just like the sacred lotus. Without no mud, there is no lotus. Mud is symbolic to many Buddhists. It can serve as a representation of the challenges and suffering we all must face. Through learning and experience, we can overcome the struggles of the mud to break the surface of the water and unfold to reveal our true essence. As a lifelong learner, having always had a keen interest in health and wellbeing, she is also a former Beauty & Body Massage Therapist, Micropigmentation practitioner, other career experiences working in Further Education (Hair & Beauty Faculty) and Corporate Retail Management Roles.
Mandie brings a unique blend of skills, experiences and purpose to her career endeavours. Utilising her lived experiences; with certified and ongoing academic studies, she is part of a diverse field of whole health professionals and health & wellness coaches. |

Client Messages
What have you done to me! I am looking for low salt or no added sugar! ~ Anon (High BP & Obesity) |
You teach me new ways of thinking and feeling for which I am grateful, as I feel better for it. ~ I.C. (Chronic health condition) |
I was struggling to eat, no energy, unable to make a proper home cooked meal. I wasn't expecting much from our first session as nothing had worked up until now. Your first protocol in a few days brought changes in my appetite. I was hungry again, not for snack but for a good meal.~ W.M. (Long Covid Clinic Patient)
I am so glad to have you. You understand, you're someone who has really gone through a lot of struggles like me. I now been able to monitor my health thanks to you, as my last episode caused me great anxiety and isolation. Thank you Mandie. ~ J.S. (Recurrent UTI's with history of acute pyelonephritis)
