Over 500 busy women beat burnout,

You know your body better than anyone.
If you're constantly tired, struggling with brain fog, low mood, poor sleep or simply don't feel like yourself, there's a reason.
The problem is, most tests only tell you whether you're ill.
They don't tell you what your body needs to function at its best.
That's exactly what The Health Decode is designed to do.
Using advanced HTMA, I'll identify the imbalances that may be affecting your health and provide you with a personalised nutrition, lifestyle and supplement plan, so you can stop guessing and start taking the right action.
Blood tests only measure what's circulating in your bloodstream at that moment.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis looks at mineral patterns stored in the body over the previous three months, providing a different layer of insight into your health.
You may already have had blood tests.
You may have been told everything looks "normal."
Or perhaps you simply want to understand your health at a deeper level, optimise your wellbeing, or take a more proactive approach to healthy ageing.
Either way, blood tests only tell part of the story.
Inside The Health Decode, we look at long-term patterns within the body, providing a different layer of information that can help explain why you're feeling the way you do, or highlight opportunities to optimise your health before symptoms develop.
Want to understand your health at a deeper level.
Feel your energy isn't where it should be.
Want to optimise your health and performance.
Are interested in healthy ageing and longevity.
Experience brain fog or poor concentration.
Want to stop guessing which supplements you should take.
Have ongoing digestive or hormonal concerns.
Simply want a clearer picture of what's happening inside your body.
And that's just the beginning.
Whether your goal is more energy, better resilience, improved performance, healthier ageing, or simply understanding your body better, mineral balance plays a role in almost every aspect of health.
The Health Decode doesn't just look at individual minerals.
It looks at the relationships between them (and between minerals and vitamins).
Because it's rarely one mineral that's the issue.
It's the pattern.
And it's those patterns that often provide the most valuable insights.
Want to see what a real mineral test result actually looks like?

HAIR MINERAL TEST
A simple at-home hair sample that provides insight into your mineral balance, heavy metal exposure and key metabolic patterns.
No needles. No clinic visits. No stress.
PERSONAL EXPERT ANALYSIS
Your results are personally reviewed and interpreted by me. This isn't an automated report or AI-generated interpretation.
I'll identify the key patterns within your results and explain what they could mean for your health.
Your Personalised Health Report
A clear, easy-to-understand report explaining your results in plain English, including:
Your key mineral patterns
The priorities I recommend focusing on first
Practical nutrition recommendations
Lifestyle recommendations tailored to your results
Basic supplement guidance where appropriate
Easy-to-Follow Action Plan
Rather than pages of confusing data, you'll receive a clear summary of the most important findings and practical recommendations you can start implementing straight away.
This package isn’t just a lab test.
It includes the test itself, expert analysis of your results, and a 1-to-1 Zoom consultation so you can understand what your results mean in the context of your symptoms.
Many women come to me after buying a test elsewhere and feeling confused by a generic report that doesn’t explain what’s actually driving how they feel.
This package is designed to give you clarity, not just data, so you’re not left guessing or interpreting results alone.
This package isn’t just about running a test, it’s about understanding what the results actually mean for you.
I don’t just use this test in my own clinical work; I also train other health professionals in how to interpret it properly. Many practitioners come to me when their clients feel worse, not better, because the data has been taken out of context.
When you book this package, your results are personally reviewed by me and explained in a 1:1 Zoom consultation. I’ll walk you through what your mineral patterns suggest about how your body has been adapting, how this connects to your symptoms, and why certain issues may have been missed until now.
Instead of being left with a generic report, you leave with clarity, and a clear understanding of what makes sense as a next step, if anything.
You'll receive a full analysis explaining what your mineral pattern suggests and what may be driving your symptoms. Some women use the insights alone, others choose personalised guidance to actively correct the imbalances. If you decide you'd like more support, the cost of the test package will be deducted.
Your package is valid for 3 months from the date of purchase.
This gives you plenty of time to receive your test kit, return your hair sample, wait for results (which typically take 2–3 weeks once the lab receives your sample), and then have your 1:1 Zoom consultation with me.
There’s no need to rush. As long as your sample is returned and your consultation booked within the 3 month window, you’re fully covered.
If you already know you may need a little flexibility, just let us know when you purchase - we’re happy to help where possible.
Can I buy the test on its own?
Yes, but that's not what The Health Decode is.
Anyone can order a Hair Mineral test. The real value lies in understanding what the results actually mean.
The Health Decode combines your HTMA results with your health questionnaire, so your report is interpreted in the context of your unique health history, lifestyle and goals.
Instead of receiving pages of numbers and a generic explanation, you'll receive a personalised report in plain English, together with practical nutrition and lifestyle recommendations and clear priorities for your next steps.
Because understanding your results is every bit as important as taking the test itself.
What makes The Health Decode different?
The Health Decode is much more than a laboratory test.
It's my clinical interpretation of your results, combined with your health questionnaire, to help you understand what your mineral patterns could mean for your health.
I don't just use HTMA in my own client work. I also teach other health professionals how to interpret it accurately.
Too often, people receive pages of numbers with little explanation of what they actually mean or what to do next. Or worse, they receive incorrect interpretations from practitioners who are not experienced or trained in HTMA analysis.
With The Health Decode, your results are personally reviewed by me and translated into a clear, practical report with nutrition and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your results.
The goal isn't simply to give you more data.
It's to help you understand your body with greater clarity and confidence.
What happens once my results are ready?
You'll receive your personalised Health Decode report, explaining your mineral patterns in plain English, together with practical nutrition and lifestyle recommendations and clear priorities for your next steps.
From there, the choice is yours.
Many people choose to implement the recommendations themselves.
Others decide they'd like more personalised support, whether that's booking a Results & Strategy Session, upgrading to one of my support programmes, or ordering a bespoke custom vitamin and mineral formula based on their results.
Whatever you decide, you'll leave with a much clearer understanding of your health and a plan for moving forward.
How long do I have to complete my health decode
Your Health Decode is valid for three months from the date of purchase.
This gives plenty of time to receive your test kit, return your hair sample, complete your health questionnaire and receive your personalised report.
Laboratory analysis typically takes 2 to 3 weeks from the date your sample reaches the lab.
If you know you'll need a little more flexibility, just let me know after ordering and I'll do my best to help.

I’m Vanessa and I'm a Registered Nutritional Therapist and HTMA expert, tutor and mentor.
I specialise in helping people understand what their body has been trying to tell them.
Over the past decade, I've worked with hundreds of clients and trained health professionals in the interpretation of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, helping them look beyond symptoms and identify the underlying patterns that may be affecting health.
What makes my approach different is that I don't simply send you a laboratory report. I combine your HTMA results with your health questionnaire and clinical experience to provide a personalised interpretation and practical recommendations that make sense for you.
My goal is simple.
To help you stop guessing, understand your body with confidence, and make informed decisions about your health.
My energy levels have improved massively.

"I was really struggling with life! Fatigue, no energy, aching joints, no motivation and constantly sick with recurring infections, including urine and sinus infections.
My energy levels have improved massively. My joint pain is gone and I haven't had any infections for months now. My sleep has improved and I have made lots of changes."

I have been feeling happier and less stressed...

"My energy levels improved pretty quickly and I was feeling more energetic. I also started eating more but I needed to and finally food felt like it was digesting.
My skin has taken time to clear but is much better. I have been feeling happier and less stressed too. Definitely getting more done and not needing to sleep in the daytime!"

She understands women in their 40s and 50s...

"Vanessa’s advice was life changing for me. She understands women in their 40s and 50s and the approaches that can keep them healthy when nothing else is working.
I would still be living in a fog of exhaustion if not for her. I couldn’t recommend her more highly."

...she has educated and supported my return to myself again.

"Wow! is the one word I would describe this! I was on the floor both physically and emotionally. A difficult time with hormones mixed with life stress had taken it out of me.
Vee’s knowledge, and approach on my recovery journey has been outstanding and she has educated and supported my return to myself again.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone as it is unique to your own vitality requirements. Great value for money and that all important investment in yourself!"

...seeing improvements in all areas of my health has been very rewarding.

"My anxiety was through the roof. My hair was falling out, migraines, terrible insomnia, up and down weight, low mood, fatigue and brain fog. All of the above have improved and still improving!!
It’s been and still is work in progress but slowly and surely everything is going in the right direction.
I was at an all time low so seeing improvements in all areas of my health has been very rewarding."

I feel like the young at heart, fun-loving, energetic me is slowly returning....

"I had zero energy and often fell asleep at my desk in the afternoons. I had acid reflux, brain fog, dizziness and hot and cold sweats.
Since working with Vee, I have more energy, I don’t have the 3 pm afternoon slump at work and am slowly recovering my life now with my friends.
I feel like the young at heart, fun-loving, energetic me is slowly returning.... and I have lost over a stone in weight!"

This test uses a small hair sample, analysed by a specialist laboratory in the US that meets strict quality and control standards. There are currently no UK laboratories that run this test to the same level.
I coordinate the process for clients in the UK, US and Europe. Your kit includes return postage for your country, and all consultations take place via Zoom.
Hair provides information on mineral and metal levels in body tissues over a longer period, roughly the previous three months.
Blood tests are tightly regulated by the body and often appear “normal” even when tissue levels are imbalanced. Hair analysis gives a broader picture of how the body has been adapting over time.
No. This test doesn't form part of the NHS testing criteria and so isn't available through your GP
Only a small amount of hair is required. It’s taken from the back of the head and isn’t noticeable.
This test can also be helpful in identifying mineral patterns that may contribute to hair loss.
No. Coloured hair is not a problem.
I’ll simply ask you to wait a few weeks after colouring before collecting your sample. All instructions are provided.
No. While many of my clients are women this test can be used for anyone.
It’s even used in animals, including dogs and horses, to help identify mineral imbalances affecting health. Anyone can purchase and benefit from The Health Decode.
Not at all! This test can provide insight into a wide range of symptoms and issues, including anxiety, mental health concerns, hormonal related issues, skin issues, digestive problems, fertility issues and so much more.
Feel free to reach out to ask any questions.
I’m a certified and registered nutritional therapist, with advanced training in a variety of functional tests including HTMA, functional blood-work, GI testing, Dutch testing and more.
I also work alongside, and support the training of, other practitioners in how to interpret these results correctly. This test can be complex, and incorrect interpretation can lead to inappropriate supplementation, which is why proper training matters.
