Sanna has over 20 years of clinical experience supporting people with ME/CFS, chronic fatigue and complex, long-standing health conditions.

She joined The Optimum Health Clinic in 2005 and became part of its Nutrition Team in 2007, bringing a wealth of experience and a thorough, individualised approach to Nutritional Therapy.

Over the years, Sanna has worked with clients presenting with a wide range of symptoms and often multiple, overlapping health challenges. She has developed a broad understanding of the complexities of chronic illness, with a particular interest in hormonal health and the role of neurotransmitters in physical and emotional wellbeing.

Sanna's strength lies in seeing connections between seemingly unrelated symptoms and identifying the most important areas to address. She takes time to listen and explain, helping clients make sense of complex health issues and develop realistic, manageable strategies that take account of their individual circumstances and energy levels.

Sanna has extensive experience in using a wide variety of specialised functional tests, which she uses clinically where appropriate. She believes that understanding the bigger picture is important, but equally so is translating this information into clear, manageable recommendations.

Living with an autoimmune condition herself, Sanna understands that managing chronic illness is rarely a straightforward or linear process. Her own experience has reinforced the importance of patience, flexibility and finding sustainable approaches that work in everyday life.

Alongside her clinical work, Sanna has lectured in Nutritional Therapy in Finland and continues to develop her knowledge of nutrition and complex chronic conditions.
