Meet Fieke
Fieke holds formal training in clinical naturopathy, functional blood chemistry, clinical herbalism, hair tissue mineral analysis, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Her clinical work is grounded in structured assessment, functional testing, and a systems-based approach to complex and chronic health presentations.
She has continued to refine her clinical approach through ongoing mentorship with senior practitioners, including:
-
Sheila Kenneally (Nat., BSc Nutr)
-
​Sabine Schmitz (MMED TCM)
-
Lisa Pitel-Killah (FDN-P, HTMAP)
-
Hillary Thing (LAc, RHT)
-
​Poppy Burr (BSc MCPP, HTMAP)
​
She continues to invest deeply in her professional development, ensuring her work remains rigorous and responsive to increasingly complex clinical presentations. While Fieke maintains her own independent practice, her work within Sheila’s clinic is closely aligned with Sheila’s clinical philosophy, assessment frameworks, and standards of care.
Clinical Focus & Case Complexity
Her clinical work centers on complex, multi-system presentations commonly seen in chronic illness. She frequently supports individuals experiencing long-standing physiological strain involving:
01
Hepatic function & detoxification capacity
02
Immune regulation & inflammatory load
03
Metabolic regulation & energy production
04
Hormonal signaling & endocrine balance
05
Digestive function, absorption, & gut integrity
These cases require careful prioritization of physiological regulation and a terrain-first approach, rather than symptom-driven intervention.
Assessment & Therapeutic Framework
Fieke’s work emphasizes restoring physiological stability before progressing into more intensive therapeutic phases. Grounded in clinical naturopathy and functional medicine, her approach places particular emphasis on:
01
Functional blood chemistry analysis
02
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)
These tools are used to assess metabolic resilience, mineral balance, stress physiology, and overall terrain health.
As a registered clinical herbalist and professional member of the Czech Naturopathic Society, Fieke brings additional depth through the precise and individualized use of herbal medicine. These strategies are thoughtfully integrated alongside nutrition, lifestyle interventions, and mineral rebalancing, allowing for nuanced and adaptable care.
In addition to biochemical assessment, Fieke incorporates pattern-recognition frameworks informed by Eastern medicine, adding further clinical nuance and supporting individualized, responsive care.
Her work is methodical, careful, and attentive to complex cases with particular sensitivity to cases involving environmental and metabolic burden, impaired detoxification and bile flow, mineral dysregulation, and chronic immune activation.
The aim of her work is long-term physiological stability and resilience, rather than short-term symptom suppression.
