If you're told your blood tests are 'normal', but your energy, mood, motivation, anxiety levels or fuzzy brain feel anything but… it’s not all in your head (but also, you’re not broken either).
Most women in this stage of life are experiencing something in their body that modern medicine simply wasn't geared up to spotting or solving.
The fatigue is real. The brain fog is real. The feeling that something has fundamentally shifted - and nobody can explain it - is real.
The things that are tested in blood, linked to fatigue and other common symptoms, are tightly regulated by the body.
For example, even when minerals are overall depleted in the body, the blood levels can stay within normal ranges. This is a protective mechanism for our survival. But it doesn’t mean everything is tickety-boo!
Hair Mineral Analysis provides a broader view of minerals stored in the body, over roughly the previous three months.
It doesn’t replace blood testing. It reveals a different layer of information that blood can’t provide.
For many women experiencing fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, weight gain or burnout patterns, that missing layer often explains why they feel lousy but their blood tests are ‘normal.’
Watch me walk through a real mineral test result, and see exactly the kind of insights that blood tests simply don't show. (7 mins)

You've probably already done the tests. Maybe more than once. And you've probably been told everything looks normal, while you're sitting there knowing that something is very much not right.
That gap between how you feel and what blood tests show is exactly where mineral analysis works.
Because this test isn't looking at what's circulating in your blood (which is tightly regulated for your protection). It's looking at what's actually happening inside your cells.
You may be experiencing:
ongoing fatigue and low motivation that make it hard to keep up with your busy life
feeling burnt out and unable to cope with stress, affecting your work and home life
anxiety or emotional overwhelm that strain relationships, and seem to have no real cause
brain fog and poor concentration that makes you worry
weight gain or metabolic slowdown that doesn't respond to diet or exercise like it used to
And that's not an exhaustive list. Gut issues, hormonal symptoms, hot flashes, dry skin, hair loss, joint pain…
...mineral imbalances run through all of them.
And rather than looking at single minerals in isolation, which don’t tell us the whole story, the analysis focuses on the relationships between minerals.
Because it's rarely one thing. It's a pattern. And patterns are what most standard testing misses entirely.
This is why symptoms persist even when you're doing everything right. Even when bloods are normal.
Even when you're on HRT and still not feeling like yourself.
The answer is usually deeper than anyone has looked (yet).

Mineral

Wake up actually feeling rested, not just relieved that another night is over, and have enough energy left at the end of the day for the people and things you love?
Think clearly again? Remember words, hold a thought, finish a sentence… all without that infuriating fog that makes you feel like you're wading through cotton wool?
Feel like yourself in your own body again, not bloated, not wired, not flat, but genuinely well, in a way you'd almost forgotten was possible?
Stop spending money on supplements that don't work, because for the first time you actually know what your body is missing… and why?
Go through a whole week without that quiet, creeping anxiety that something is wrong, because now you understand what was driving it, and you're doing something about it?
Show up fully - at work, with your family, for yourself - instead of just getting through the day and hoping tomorrow will be better?
Go beyond what standard testing can show you. A small hair sample reveals your body's unique mineral picture, and I'll walk you through exactly what it means for you, in plain English.
(No needles. No clinics. No confusing reports left to decipher alone.)

HAIR MINERAL TEST
A simple, at-home hair sample that gives insight into your mineral balance, heavy metal load, metabolic patterns, and energy productions.
No blood tests. No clinics. No stress.
EXPERT ANALYSIS
Your results are personally reviewed and analysed by me to identify key mineral imbalances that may be contributing to fatigue, low mood, low motivation and metabolic slowdown.
This is not an automated report or generic interpretation.
1 TO 1 ZOOM CONSULTATION
A private session where I walk you through your results, explain what they mean for how your body has been functioning, and answer your questions.
You’ll leave understanding what’s been driving your symptoms, and what makes sense as your best next steps.
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 can still purchase the test after the 24-hour window, the package remains exactly the same, but the price returns to it's normal price - £129.
The £99 rate is simply a reduced price offered for a short time for those who take the time to watch the video, and who are ready to take the next right straight away.
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?
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.

What I offer will give you an understanding about what the results actually mean for you, not just a test and generic report.

What happens after my test results are back?
You'll receive a full analysis explaining what your mineral pattern suggests and what may be driving your symptoms. You'll then have the opportunity to either work with me within one of my tailored programmes to actively correct imbalances and improve your symptoms and overall health, or you can simply order a complete mineral (and vitamin) formula, formulated by me and personalised to you, based on your exact test result. This mineral formula is only available to practitioners and is very new in the UK and Europe. I will explain all the options in detail during your consultation - either way, you'll have a clear path forwards after receiving your results.
How long do I have to use the test?

Hi, I’m Vanessa.
I specialise in helping women understand why their body suddenly feels harder to live in, even when their tests say “normal”.
I trained specifically in perimenopause physiology and mineral health because this stage of life is consistently misunderstood and underserved in conventional medicine.
I now work with women across the UK and internationally who want clarity about what their body has been coping with, and how to start restoring balance again.
Every month without answers is a month your body stays depleted.
Most women who find this page have already been struggling for 12, 18, sometimes 24 months or more.
That's not a body flaw.
That's what happens when the root cause stays hidden.
But mineral imbalances don't resolve on their own. And every month that passes is another month of:
> Running on empty and just about coping
> Watching your patience, energy and spark slowly disappear
> Trying supplements that don't work because nobody knows what's actually missing
> Missing out on the version of yourself you know is still in there
£129 is less than most women spend in a month on supplements and other things, trying to feel better, that aren't targeted to what their body actually needs.
It's one test. One conversation with Vanessa. And finally, real answers.
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 couple of weeks after colouring before collecting your sample.
No. While many of my clients are women in peri- or post-menopause, this test can be used for anyone.
It’s even used in animals, including dogs and horses, to help identify mineral imbalances affecting health. If a family member is interested in testing, feel free to get in touch.
Not at all.
This test can provide insight into a wide range of symptoms, including anxiety, mental health concerns, skin issues, digestive problems and more. Fatigue, mood and metabolism are simply the most common reasons people start here.
I’m a certified and registered nutritional therapist, with advanced training in this specific test.
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.
