Patient Testimonials

"Working with Brainstorm Health has been life-changing for our daughter"

They put together a detailed plan which met all of our daughter’s individual needs. She is doing so much better and continues to improve every day. With the team’s support, we witnessed positive changes in her and have been able to see her cheeky personality shine through. We are looking forward to continuing this journey and reaching many more milestones.

“It’s hard to put into words how much our family life has changed.”

It’s hard to put into words how much our family life has changed. Danny loves playing with his brothers now, which he hardly ever did before. Our family feels so much closer and more positive we’re spending more time together and actually enjoying each other’s company! We’re so grateful for this amazing shift, Stella. Seeing Danny smile and enjoy life again is more than we ever hoped for.

"She is now eating a wider variety of foods"

When we first began the sessions, my daughter was barely eating and we could barely take her out of the house. Brainstorm Health put together protocols which have helped my daughter so much. She is now eating a wider variety of foods which I never thought she would eat. I have learnt so much about nutrition and its role in the body.

How to work with us

Our approach is structured to provide parents with clarity, expert guidance, and a highly personalised plan to support their child’s health.

We follow a step-by-step process to ensure we deeply understand the child’s needs and agree priorities and plan the next steps.

We only work with patients after screening them to make sure that our approach is appropriate. Please book a discovery call to speak to us to see if we can help.

A free 15-minute call to discuss your needs.
- Parents complete a short discovery call request form, providing key details about their child’s history and challenges.
- Upon submission, they receive a booking link, which includes our terms and pricing.
- The discovery call helps parents understand how we work while allowing us to assess whether we are the right fit for their child’s needs.
- If they decide to proceed, we match them with the most appropriate practitioner, based on their child’s specific requirements.
75 minutes (via Zoom)
Parents complete a comprehensive questionnaire before the session, covering the child’s medical history, medications, supplements, past interventions, diet, and current concerns.
During the consultation, we take an in-depth case history, focusing on:
- Medical background, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle factors.
- Any prior interventions (medications, diets, supplements).
- Identifying key issues and agreeing practical first steps with parents.
- We discuss potential lab tests (stool, urine, saliva, or blood) if necessary, tailoring the approach to what is feasible for the family.
After the session, parents receive a detailed report outlining:
- Key interventions to start with, often focusing on nervous system regulation.
- Recommended next steps, including testing (if applicable) and further interventions.
The first follow-up is 90 minutes, typically 6 weeks after the Initial Appointment.

If lab tests were conducted, we go through the results in detail, explaining findings and their implications.
We develop a highly personalised plan, which may include:
- Therapeutic diets tailored to the child’s needs.
- Targeted supplements and herbal interventions.
- Micro-immunotherapy.
- Recommendations for additional therapies (e.g., osteopathy, CBT, specialist referrals).
The plan is reviewed every 6-8 weeks, adjusting as needed. We have a mixture of 60 and 30-minute appointments during that time.
The health plan is reviewed every 6-8 weeks, adjusting as needed to ensure progress. We offer a mixture of 60 and 30-minute appointments during that time.
