About Anna:
Here to help you reach your full potential

 

As a GP, Lifestyle Medicine Physician, health coach and yoga teacher...

  • I truly care about empowering YOU to take control of your own health journey!

  • I will be right by your side when you are ready to optimise your physical and mental health through sustainable lifestyle changes.


As a physician I am very passionate about the facilitation of self-management and the de-medicalisation of chronic conditions such as back pain and diabetes. Throughout my medical career I have felt that the way forward must be to focus on the source instead of trying to treat the symptoms of a disease.

As a practising GP I currently enjoy combining regular work in the acute / out-of-hours setting with sessional work at GP surgeries in Cornwall.

My passion for ‘Lifestyle Medicine’ led to me completing the Diploma in Lifestyle Medicine in 2018 which has truly changed my life. I am still amazed that even the basics of ‘Lifestyle Medicine’ were not taught during all those years at medical school.

In order to address this lack of knowledge I founded the ‘Kernow British Society of Lifestyle Medicine’ in 2019. I very much enjoy my voluntary role as the Regional Director of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine for Cornwall, which involves organising empowering educational events for both health care professionals and the public around the 6 pillars of Lifestyle Medicine.

A little more about myself and ‘An Mor’ – Cornish for ‘The Sea’

I was lucky to be raised by the seaside of several different European countries when I was growing up, which might be why the sea has always played such an important role in my life and led to countless ‘wave-hunting’ adventures.

As soon as I completed my medical degree in Germany in 2011 my passion for surfing took me back to the surfable coast of the UK. For several years I worked between Pembrokeshire, Devon and Cornwall before completing my GP training in Cornwall.

Having always been fascinated with travel and foreign countries, my sabbatical in 2017 took me to India as well as to Nepal where I enjoyed volunteering for ‘PHASE Worldwide Nepal’. The opportunity to experience the simple, challenging life of the amazingly resilient Nepalese people had a profound impact on me.

My Cornish partner works in the surf-industry, another reason why Cornwall has been the perfect place to settle, alongside the amazing outdoors and the great local community.

“THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE THAt ALTHOUGH it SOUNDS CLICHÉ, HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.”

“I love the fact that the skills and strategies that I have learnt have carried on and they will stay with me. My journey still continues but I am in a much better place and feel far more in control!”
