    Working with expats across the Algarve

Many of my clients have already tried everything. Tests came back “normal”, yet the complaints remained.

  • Digestive issues combined with skin problems or asthma
  • Hormonal or sleep issues that don't resolve
  • Long-term stress, burnout or trauma
  • Children with nervous system dysregulation (ADD/ADHD, unrest)

About Suzanne

Certified Holistic Naturopath

With over 25 years of experience in naturopathy and holistic coaching, Suzanne works from a root-cause perspective.

Her approach is calm, analytical and deeply personal. She looks beyond isolated symptoms and focuses on how the whole system functions — physically, emotionally and energetically.

Suzanne combines practical insight with natural support, helping clients restore balance without overload or symptom suppression.

The Biomarker Scan Method

Suzanne works with advanced biofeedback technology that measures nearly 300 biomarkers on a cellular level.

The scan is painless and non-invasive. Within minutes, it provides insight into:

  • Organ and system function
  • Nervous system regulation and stress load
  • Possible food sensitivities
  • Energetic imbalances

This method does not replace medical diagnosis. It offers clarity about how the body is responding beneath the surface — allowing for precise, personalized guidance.

What the bioscan does — and what it doesn't

  • Hand-held, painless, takes a few minutes
  • Suitable for adults, children and babies
  • Gives insight into organs, systems, intolerances and stress load

The scan is a tool — your story and experience always come first.

Who I work with

  • Older clients with pain (arthritis, scoliosis)
  • People recovering from burnout or trauma
  • Families with foster children

Clients from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Portugal, Hungary, the USA and Canada.

Sleep problems after burnout

Have you recovered from burnout, but your sleep has not?

Difficulty falling asleep.
Waking at 3 or 4 am.
Light, restless sleep.
Heart racing at night.
Feeling exhausted but wired.

Many people expect sleep to return once stress decreases.

But after long-term burnout, the nervous system often remains dysregulated.

If you are living in the Algarve or elsewhere in Portugal and looking for structured, natural support, this practice offers a root cause recovery approach.

Why sleep does not return after burnout

Burnout affects more than energy levels.

It can disrupt:

  • Cortisol rhythm
  • Melatonin production
  • Adrenal regulation
  • Blood sugar stability
  • Nervous system balance
  • Hormone interaction

Even when work pressure decreases, the body may still operate in survival mode.

This creates light sleep, early waking or night anxiety.

Standard tests often show no abnormalities.

Yet the system is still dysregulated.

→ I recognize this — let's talk

A root cause approach to sleep recovery

The goal is not to sedate the body.

It is to restore regulation.

Whole system evaluation

Sleep is influenced by stress chemistry, hormones and metabolic stability.

If cortisol remains elevated at night, deep rest becomes difficult.

Functional measurement

Using biofeedback technology, nearly 300 biomarkers can be assessed within minutes.

This may provide insight into:

  • Cortisol stress patterns
  • Adrenal regulation
  • Nervous system activation
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Liver burden
  • Recovery capacity

The scan is painless and non-invasive.

It does not diagnose disease.
It helps identify functional imbalance contributing to persistent sleep problems.

Your personal burnout history guides interpretation.

Gradual recovery support

Support is introduced step by step.

No heavy sedation.
No overwhelming supplement protocols.
Only targeted measures that help the nervous system feel safe again.

Who this support is for

  • Adults recovering from burnout with ongoing sleep issues
  • Expats navigating stress and life changes in Portugal
  • Professionals who feel exhausted but cannot fully rest
  • Individuals seeking natural alternatives to sleep medication

Consultations are available locally in the Algarve and online internationally.

Practical information

First consultation: €50
Duration: about 60-80 minutes (sometimes longer)
Location: Algarve (weekly practice day) or online
Supplements: only when needed

No obligation.
We simply explore what your body is asking for — and whether this approach feels right for you.
