Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a complex, often misunderstood condition that affects the whole body. If you’re living with ongoing pain, fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, and other symptoms that feel impossible to explain—or manage—you are not alone.

Fibromyalgia can feel invisible to others, but very real to those experiencing it. It can affect your energy, mood, relationships, and confidence. Many people go years without a diagnosis or are told there's nothing they can do. But there are ways to support your body naturally and improve how you feel—starting with understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Some common symptoms associated with fibromyalgia include:

Widespread muscle or joint pain
Fatigue, even after rest
Non-refreshing sleep or insomnia
Brain fog, forgetfulness or poor concentration
Headaches or migraines
Heightened sensitivity to pain, light, sound, or touch
Digestive issues such as IBS or bloating
Restless legs or tingling sensations
Low mood, anxiety or irritability
Hormonal imbalances or cycle-related flares
Feeling “wired but tired”
Fluctuations in symptoms without clear triggers

It's important to note that fibromyalgia symptoms can vary widely from person to person and may fluctuate in severity over time. Additionally, fibromyalgia symptoms can overlap with those of other conditions, making daily life more challenging.

Working with Claire

As a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist, I take a whole-body approach to fibromyalgia. I look at the deeper drivers of your symptoms—including gut health, inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, mitochondrial health, nutrient status, and hormonal balance.

My role is to help you make sense of what your body is telling you, identify contributing factors, and create a personalised plan to gently rebuild resilience and energy—without adding more overwhelm.

Why Work With Me?

I understand how complex and exhausting fibromyalgia can be. The ups and downs, the unpredictability, the fear of overdoing it. My approach is rooted in compassion, science, and real-life strategies that fit your lifestyle and energy levels.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, you’ll get a tailored, step-by-step approach that supports you physically, mentally and emotionally.

How Can I Help?

Together, we’ll explore your unique fibromyalgia picture and build a support plan that may include:

Nutrition for energy, inflammation, and mitochondrial health
Blood sugar balance to support stable energy and pain management
Nutrients and supplements to support muscle, nerve, and brain function
Gut and immune support for underlying inflammation or dysbiosis
Nervous system regulation strategies (e.g. breathwork, gentle routines)
Sleep support (both lifestyle and nutritional)
Hormone balancing (especially in perimenopause or thyroid involvement)
Mitochondrial and cellular support
Pacing strategies to manage energy without burnout

Optional Functional Medicine Testing to Consider

Functional testing is not always necessary however it can offer deeper insight into your body and uncover hidden drivers, these may include:

Comprehensive stool testing – to assess microbiome balance, inflammation and gut-related immune activity
Nutrient status panels – to check for deficiencies in B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin D, and iron
Mitochondrial markers – through Organic Acids Testing (OAT)
Thyroid function and antibodies – to rule out underlying thyroid imbalances
Hormone testing – particularly useful in perimenopausal women
Food intolerance or sensitivity testing – if digestive symptoms are present
Inflammation and immune markers – such as CRP or homocysteine

Testing is always optional and recommended only when it will truly guide and support your progress. Functional testing is not always necessary, you may wish to take a look at my functional medicine testing packages here.
