AREAS OF CONSULTANCY
Tailored to your health, lifestyle and long-term goals
to help you achieve sustainable change and lasting well-being
- Personalised Nutrition
Helping your body work smarter, not harder.
We analyse your metabolism, health status, preferences and lifestyle to create practical, enjoyable nutrition strategies that support energy, performance, recovery and long-term health.
2. Weight Management, Metabolic Health & Body Composition
Work with your metabolism, not against it.
We go beyond calories to address the real drivers of body composition. By optimising food quality, meal timing, macronutrient balance, activity, sleep and stress, we help you achieve sustainable results. Clinical hypnotherapy can support lasting change in your relationship with food.
3. Stress Management & Adaptation
Build resilience. Adapt with strength and clarity.
We help you understand your stress response and strengthen your capacity to cope. Through practical tools and evidence-based approaches, we improve emotional regulation, reduce overwhelm and support steady performance in a demanding world.
4. Sleep & Recovery
Recovery is where transformation happens.
We optimise the key pillars of sleep and recovery to enhance cognitive function, mood, immunity and physical performance. Better sleep means more productive days and better long-term health.
5. Athletic & Workplace Performance
Perform better when the body and mind work together.
We fine-tune nutrition, training, recovery and mental strategies to help you reach your potential. Whether in sport or at work, we target focus, resilience, speed of recovery and peak performance.

Lasting change starts below conscious effort.
We address the root of limiting patterns using evidence-based psychological approaches and clinical hypnotherapy to support emotional balance, confidence, motivation and personal growth.

MEET YOUR CONSULTANT
Science, experience and a deeply personalised approach
Maria Antipina, PhD
Biomedical Scientist · Health Consultant · Clinical Hypnotherapy Practitioner
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
- PhD in biophysics
- Over 20 years in scientific research
- Former Principal Investigator at A*STAR Singapore
- Scientific author, inventor and research leader
- Stanford Nutrition Science certified
- Trained in precision nutrition and clinical hypnotherapy integrated into multiple psychotherapeutic approaches
My career has been devoted to understanding how nutrition, physiology, psychology, and the environment influence human health. I bring nearly two decades of multidisciplinary research experience, including scientific leadership roles in Germany and Singapore, and my personal journey in building health through iterative selection of proper nutrition and working on my emotional resilience, to practical and personalized health consultancy.
My approach looks beyond an isolated dimension of health. I work with clients to understand the wider picture, from nutrition, metabolism and physical activity to sleep, stress, behaviour patterns and emotional well-being, and translate scientific evidence into realistic strategies that fit everyday life.
I strongly believe that meaningful change should not depend on rigid rules or one-size-fits-all solutions, yet it should be fine-tuned and aligned with underlying regulatory mechanisms identified by science.
FAQ
No. You can book a consultation directly without a referral. If you have an existing medical condition or are receiving medical treatment, we recommend continuing to work with your doctor while we provide complementary nutrition and lifestyle support.
No. We do not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medication or replace medical care.

If you have a medical condition, we encourage you to remain under the care of your doctor, and we are happy to work alongside your healthcare team where appropriate.
Yes. We offer flexible consultation options, including both in-person and online appointments.
Initial consultations are generally recommended in person whenever possible, as they allow for a more comprehensive assessment and help establish a strong therapeutic relationship. Clinical hypnotherapy sessions are also preferably conducted face to face.
Online consultations are available for clients who are unable to attend in person and are particularly well suited to follow-up consultations, ongoing coaching and progress reviews.
The length of a consultation depends on the type of service.

These timeframes are intended as a guide. The exact duration may vary depending on the nature of your concerns, the goals of the consultation and your individual needs. Where clinically appropriate, sessions may be slightly shorter or longer to ensure they are completed safely and without unnecessary interruption.
Every consultation is designed to provide practical, actionable guidance. Before you leave, we will discuss the next steps together and, where appropriate, provide personalised recommendations, educational resources or a written action plan.
For clients receiving clinical hypnotherapy, personalised hypnosis recordings may also be provided when appropriate to support independent practice and reinforce therapeutic progress between sessions.
Some clients achieve their goals with a single consultation, while others benefit from ongoing follow-up and support. Together, we will decide on the approach that best suits your needs.
Absolutely. Our services are intended to complement conventional healthcare, not replace it.
Many clients seek support while managing chronic health conditions or undergoing medical treatment. We work within our scope of practice and encourage clients to remain under the care of their doctor. Where appropriate, our nutrition, lifestyle and behavioural strategies can be integrated alongside your existing treatment plan to support your overall health and well-being.
Yes. We work with recreational and amateur athletes, as well as physically active individuals seeking to optimise performance, recovery and long-term health.
Support may include personalised nutrition strategies, hydration, sleep and recovery optimisation, stress management, behavioural coaching and preparation for training or competition. Where appropriate, clinical hypnotherapy may also be incorporated to support focus, confidence, emotional regulation, performance under pressure and recovery.
We do not prescribe supplements or medications. However, where appropriate, we may provide evidence-informed guidance on supplements for you to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before use.
We can also review your current supplement regimen to identify products that may be unnecessary, unsupported by sufficient scientific evidence, duplicative or potentially unsuitable alongside your medications or health conditions. Based on your diet, health status and individual goals, we may suggest discussing particular nutrients or formulations with your healthcare professional.
Where relevant, we can explain differences between supplement forms, dosages and formulations, as these may vary in bioavailability, tolerability and suitability. Any decision to begin, discontinue or substantially change supplementation should be made in consultation with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
