Heather is an associate Functional Medicine medical doctor at Mosaic Medical. She studied medicine at Liverpool University, prior to completing her GP training in 2011, and had a conventional start to her career, working as a GP partner. She discovered root cause medicine soon after the birth of her first baby in 2016 – a spark was lit, and she went on to certify in both Lifestyle Medicine with the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine in 2018, and Functional Medicine with the Institute of Functional Medicine in 2026. Along the way, realising the power of the mind body connection across the spectrum of health and illness states, she explored other modalities, and completed training in both Tibetan yoga and western medical acupuncture. Simultaneously, she worked across a variety of conventional medical specialties alongside GP, including urgent care, palliative care, forensic and medicolegal medicine, and health assessments – and was able to see how the principles of root-cause health can be applied across a variety of conditions, specialities and organisations. Heather is fully certified with the Institute of Functional Medicine and has taken further additional training in Nutrigenomics with LifecodeGX. She is a member of the IFM and BSLM.
Her approach is personalised, thorough, and compassionate – she enjoys supporting patients to feel more empowered and hopeful about their current and future health. She enjoys meeting a variety of people with different conditions, but has particular interests in metabolic health, women’s health and hormones, gut health and microbiome and fatigue disorders, thyroid conditions and autoimmune disorders.
Outside of work, Heather enjoys family time, exercising at home or outdoors, and carving out short spells of quiet time during an otherwise busy phase of life.
