About Chantal

For over twenty years Chantal Deacon Daniel has been gathering skills and knowledge to assist her clients in a holistic and functional medicine approach, to focus on their individualised context and needs.  What makes her unique is her multi-disciplinary education in clinical and organisational psychology, nutritional medicine, first-line therapy and health coaching. Chantal's investigative approach includes DNA testing, genetic brain profiling and functional testing, alongside a deep case history,  all of which you can learn more about here.

"I’m Chantal, mother to twins Noah & Sylvie. I love trail running, reading, learning and spending time with my family – especially in nature. My work is very important to me because I believe it’s my purpose to help people.  I love the tools that I am able to use as well as the process of analysis and investigation, but ultimately it is the human connection that plays the most important role. My life experiences have grown my empathy, compassion and understanding of people tremendously. We all need to be seen and heard and in today’s world this is becoming less of a priority. I like to spend time with my clients and get to know them and understand their history well alongside the testing processes. I love watching people grow and heal and learn about themselves in the process. Life is such an incredible journey, we can’t avoid the stressors and hurdles, the key is learning how to maintain balance in the journey to allow your body and mind the opportunity to be as resilient as possible.”
