Preventative Lifestyle Medicine
Functional Medicine Services
Regain your health from Nerve Pain, Physical Pain and Heart Pain
Nerve Pain
Reconnecting Your Body’s Systems
The nervous system is the body’s communication network. We look beyond symptoms to address the root causes of nerve distress, including nutrient deficiencies and inflammation. By combining Functional Medicine testing with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, we create personalized plans that support nerve regeneration and restore healthy communication from within.
Physical Pain
Unblocking the Body’s Flow
Chronic pain is the body’s way of signaling a blockage. Our Integrated Wisdom approach blends Physical Therapy with Functional Medicine to identify root causes. By addressing inflammation, structural misalignment, and emotional holding, we restore natural flow and create long-term relief.
Heart Pain
The Core of Your Body’s Well-Being
Heart health defines the Heal Within approach. Driven by Preventive Compassion, we treat the root causes of cardiovascular imbalance rather than symptoms alone. Through Integrated Wisdom, we create personalized plans that target inflammation, stress, and lifestyle factors, fostering balance and long-term heart resilience.
1:1 CONSULTATIONS
This is the first step in creating your personalized Map of the Human Heart. In an Empowered Partnership session, we thoroughly review your health history, lifestyle, and concerns to uncover the root causes of your symptoms. You’ll leave with actionable guidance and a clear plan for advanced functional testing to begin your Heal Within journey.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“ I had health issues, heart problems, but now I am getting better, and I am more fit.”
I am Ole. I am 62 years old, and one great thing about this program is that it helps me become my own doctor. I know what I should be doing. It helps me to relax and meditate. If you want to live long and healthy and be strong and active, this program is definitely recommended for you.

“Mina gets to the root cause of the issues and helps you fix them. If you’re dealing with similar challenges, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this program a go.”
I’m Kirti from London. 16 weeks with Mina proved it wasn’t my age – it was my lifestyle. I feel renewed, energized, and absolutely recommend the program.
Kirti
“Lost 20 pounds, learned self-healing.”
My experience at Mina’s programme was absolutely 10 out of 10. I finished my course a couple of weeks ago, and I feel great. When I first started talking to her about the course, I wasn’t sure what was going with my body.

The Five Pillars - Stress, Sleep, Nutrition, Movement and Community
Achieving lasting health, strength, balance, and wellness is built upon The Five Pillars: Stress, Sleep, Nutrition, Movement and Community. These pillars are the foundation of our philosophy at Heal Within.
We empower you to integrate these five essential areas into your daily routine, providing the support you need to shift your experience from merely surviving to truly thriving.
Consider your health like a four-wheel-drive vehicle: if one tire is flat, the entire system is compromised. When all five pillars are in harmony, you move forward with strength, smoothness, vitality, resilience, and balance.
Stress Management- Breathe, Reset, Build Resilience
Resilience Stress impacts every aspect of our well-being. By learning how to regulate your autonomic nervous system – balancing the fight-or-flight response with rest-and-digest – you can reduce inflammation, improve mental clarity, and restore your body’s natural rhythms.
Simple practices like mindful breathing can help activate the parasympathetic system, promoting calm and fostering deeper healing.
Sleep Optimization - Deep Restorative Sleep Fuels Everything
Sleep is not a luxury – it is the cornerstone of recovery and repair. We guide you in developing sleep hygiene habits that align with your body’s natural circadian rhythms. From understanding the power of delta waves to crafting a bedtime routine that works for you, our focus is on helping you harness the full restorative power of sleep. After all, better sleep leads to better health, sharper focus, and a more vibrant life.
Nutrition Support - Nourish Your Body, Fuel Your Mind
What you eat shapes how you feel and perform. By eliminating processed foods and embracing whole, organic nutrition, you can reduce inflammation, support your gut health (your “second brain”), and fuel your body at the cellular level. We teach you to view food as medicine and provide simple steps to clean out the “fridge” of unhealthy habits, replacing them with nourishing, sustainable choices.
When you eat well, you feel well – it is that simple.
Movement & Exercise - Stay Active, Stay Strong, Stay Sharp
Movement is medicine. Whether it is walking, stretching, or a full workout, exercise keeps your body in flow, improves mental health, and enhances overall vitality. We help you start small, taking micro-steps to incorporate movement into your daily routine – even a ten-minute walk after meals can make a difference. Exercise is not just about performance; it is about finding joy in moving your body and building a lasting habit of physical well-being.
Community - The Healing Power of Connection
Humans are social creatures. Our sense of belonging and connection is as important to our health as diet and exercise. Research shows that meaningful connection strengthens immunity, reduces pain, supports mental and emotional well-being, and accelerates healing, while chronic loneliness increases inflammation, stress, and biological aging.
Building community is an essential part of your healing journey. We emphasize creating a supportive therapeutic relationship so you know you’re not alone, encouraging group activities such as yoga, wellness groups, and outdoor experiences, involving family and loved ones when appropriate, and connecting you with others on similar healing paths. Your healing doesn’t happen in isolation – it happens in relationship with yourself, with your practitioner, and with your community.
