Dr Elen regularly attends seminars and further education training which adds to her extensive knowledge and treatment experience in all aspects of health. She has a detailed knowledge of holistic health options for the natural treatment of hormonal imbalances and her acquired obstetric and gynaecological knowledge and clinical experience equips her to provide the very best pregnancy related care. Dr Elen is passionate about treating children and setting up good health and positive habits for life. She practices this on a daily basis as a consequence of raising her own three young daughters. Dr Elen treats all medical conditions but retains a special interest in managing irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerances, candida and creating personalising detoxification and fasting programs for patients if required. Her other interests include the wholistic treatment of diabetes, underactive thyroid problems, skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis and eczema, managing the metabolic imbalances that can make weight loss and gain difficult and all issues relating to women’s health. Dr Elen’s experience extends to public speaking on a wide range of medical topics on both the international and national stage.
