Hair analysis is an increasingly popular, non-invasive method used to gain insight into nutritional deficiencies and emotional imbalances within the body. By examining a small sample of hair, practitioners can identify patterns in minerals and trace elements that reflect how the body has been functioning over time. Unlike blood tests, which show only a snapshot of the present moment, hair analysis can reveal longer-term trends linked to stress, diet, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. Kerry works with this approach to support humans as well as animals, including: horses, dogs, and cats. She understands that physical health and emotional balance are deeply connected. Mineral imbalances can influence energy levels, digestion, immune function, and even mood and behaviour. For example: deficiencies or excesses in certain minerals may be associated with anxiety, fatigue, poor focus, irritability, or difficulty coping with stress. In animals, these imbalances can show up as nervousness, lethargy, behaviourial changes, or recurring health challenges. Once the hair analysis is complete, Kerry supplies a personalises list of supplements designed to gently support the body’s return to homeostasis—a natural state of balance where systems function as they should. These supplements are chosen to replenish deficiencies, correct mineral ratios, and reduce toxic stressors that may be placing strain on the nervous system. Rather than masking symptoms, the goal is to support the body’s own ability to regulate and heal itself. This tailored approach can be especially beneficial because every individual—human or animal—has unique needs. By addressing both nutritional and emotional factors, hair analysis can help improve vitality, resilience, and overall quality of life. Whether supporting a person seeking more energy and emotional clarity, or an animal needing better balance and calm, Kerry’s work offers a holistic pathway toward lasting wellbeing.
