Meet the Team
Goodkind Wellness is a specialist clinic which uses a functional medicine approach to support those with autoimmune and chronic conditions.
Lisa set up the practice because her own experiences led her to understand that there was a steadily growing number of people out there who were suffering with ongoing and seemingly unresolvable health challenges. These conditions were often carrying on for many years and the clients who were coming to her had their quality of life greatly compromised. In some cases, their conditions were undiagnosed, and in the majority of cases, the medical profession were able to offer, at best, immune suppressant drugs. The situation has become even more pronounced since the emergence of the COVID pandemic in 2019.
Our team of specialists, who practice under the supervision of Lisa Goodkind, have been hand selected for their considerable experience, qualifications and passion to use nutritional therapy and functional medicine principles in delivering their health improvement plans.
