welcome to island holistic Healthcare

Empowering you to transform your health.

A focus on wellness, not illness.

what we do

Health & wellbeing assessments, consultations, home visits, mentoring & coaching

Conventional medicine looks at treating illnesses and symptoms , usually with medications. Holistic Healthcare focuses on all areas of a persons life, unpicking the root causes of ill health, not just focusing on the illness itself. A holistic assessment allows time to understand the whole of a person and then develop an agreed plan for positive behavioural change.

  • "Kelly visited my home for a consultation. I was really impressed by her professionalism in examining me, and by her sympathetic and calm manner."

  • "What a wonderful relief to find kelly! Her process included considering all aspects of my health (physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual)."

  • "i highly recommend the caring services of island holistic nursing. kelly listened to my health concerns and i felt reassured following her visit. it was good to be listened to and not feel rushed as i would be in my gp's surgery!"

  • "After many months of tests and investigations, and a few extremely disjointed and rushed phone calls from various medical professionals, i have been feeling ill, ignorant and vulnerable. however, just after one consultation with Kelly I have a much clearer understanding of my condition and am feeling much more positive. She looked at the whole picture, and offered some much needed, insightful and joined up thinking."
