I've been seeing Yvette now for over 13 years for myself and my children. The past three years in particular she has helped me immensely on an incredibly difficult and painful journey dealing with chronic illness, mental health & debilitating psych med withdrawals. She has saved me time after time with her guidance on my healing journey. Teaching me & giving me the tools to break free from anxiety, showing me piece by piece how to heal properly from the poison that has taken so much from me & dedicating so much of her own time to going above and beyond to help me. She is patient, giving & understanding, I don't even like to think about where I would be without her. She is more then a functional medicine doctor she is one of the best people I know and I will be forever grateful to her. Yvette's  strategies helped me get out of my own way and thrive!

”I have been on a long health & wellness journey with Dr Tan over many years; but after a car accident that left me with a whiplash injury in 2019 I started delving even deeper into ALL of that she was sharing with me. I can specifically look back over the past year as A GIFT as I committed to the next dimension with myself by connecting to myself, my body and God - I, these relationships with myself & God were to be my highest priority. 

I am forever changed. 

At age 48, I decided that I AM worthy of loving myself well & Dr Tan has helped me to heal my way to wholeness in countless ways by her consistent care, support and truth. Truth about my  health, my thoughts (bye bye monkey mind!), connecting to the holy truth of who I am and who He says I am & me doing THE hard yards in between sessions to fully see & truly love myself, my body & God - I can clearly see the tangible transformation in myself! 

It’s been from the inside out. 

And I’m committed to this journey, I’ve only just begun. 

I am forever grateful for the teaching, the patience, the kindness and the consistent care that I’ve received from Dr Tan; which I now also give to myself, and others! 

The Gift is a wonderful gift that keeps on giving as you keep healing & transforming - and yes, you ARE worth it.

” Dr Tan graciously came into my life when I had nowhere else to turn and had run headlong into the reality that I needed professional, yet gentle help for my seemingly hopeless situation.

Not only did I need help, but I needed tools to deepen and strengthen my foundation, allowing authentic transformation at my very core.

It hasn’t been an easy journey, but because of my weekly check-in and learnings, life is certainly more peaceful. My coping mechanisms are healthy and my communication skills, not only with others but with myself are in a place that was unfathomable a year ago.

I still backslide on occasion, no real healing journey is perfect, or thankfully aiming for perfection. The difference in me now, means I can quickly rise again without self condemnation and continue moving forward.

Dr Tan, ( and Kenny), are heaven’s gift to me. Their pursuit of Holistic healing has helped to heal ALL of my broken pieces and I now am beginning to clearly see ALL of me.

I look forward to see what another year on my healing journey with Dr Tan brings.

Yours in true freedom,

” As a 45yr old woman, who has endured years of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual abuse,  I have consistently struggled with my physical and mental health. For as many years as I can recall I sought help in all the usual places trying Drs, specialists, surgery, psychology, counselling, drug rehab, physiotherapy  and for years I found no real lasting beneficial answers. I did however gain more baggage and had to face drug addiction issues due to unmanageable chronic physical pain and simultaneously my mental health, emotional and spiritual wellbeing were being stretched beyond measure. I had in actual fact given up the idea that my life was ever going to be better than what it was at that time. I felt I was beyond help and the mere thought of the future was simply too overwhelming to even consider.  It wasn’t until I met Dr Yvette Tan that my life changed. Yvette’s approach to my healing journey was absolutely essential in allowing me to set the pace in which we worked through the process of healing my mind, which has helped heal my physical body. This was a totally different approach and was more holistic than anything that I had tried before. I can say whole heartedly upon reflection, finding Dr Tan was like finding the hidden formula. As a person who has complex physical ailments and has experienced and collected a list of mental conditions ie: anxiety, depression and chronic post traumatic stress disorder... Understanding the connection between the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual faculties of my being, beyond what I already understood as a Registered Nurse, was paramount to identifying the root cause of all my issues.Yvette created a safe environment for me which over time allowed me to gradually lower my defences. Yvette then guided me through a process that challenged a lot of my long held paradigms, and helped me to untangle the mess that was my life. When I began to really connect with my body and learnt to listen to what it was saying to me, I was then able to deal with the emotional and mental baggage that I was consciously and subconsciously carrying. To reach the point where I am right now hasn’t been an overnight miracle. This has been a journey of self discovery. A  journey that has allowed me to learn what authentic love truly is. Learning to embrace myself completely and to love myself authentically, has been one of the major underpinning principles that has allowed me to receive the answers and breakthroughs necessary to heal. My relationships with other people have changed as a direct result of learning my self-worth and learning to implement and practise self love. To achieve this change is impossible without loving and respecting oneself. From self loathing, false sense of self worth, fake self esteem and confidence, constantly comparing and yes, I was even a prisoner to a victim mentality. Transitioning and rebuilding myself with boundaries and only keeping those attributes which serve and discarding that which doesn’t serve, has been a tremendous walk of faith. I have been brought to a place where I am able to see life and people through a different set of lenses. My interpersonal relationships have changed for the better. This has been one of the greatest blessings to come from this healing process. There is a new found peace that can be self generated as I have learnt through the journey. Trusting the process as Yvette has taught me, has reduced my stress significantly. This has also affected the manifestation of my physical being.Through the use of non pharmaceutical means of treatment, I have been able to avoid having invasive procedures every 3months. My mental health has improved beyond anything that I could’ve ever imagined and the implications of that are self-evident physically. I have been able to learn new ways to manage my physical pain and have been equipped with new tools and strategies to assist me with the everyday stresses of life allowing me to avoid reaching crisis or breaking levels. By trusting the process and having the courage to embark on what has been both a deep overhaul of my life holistically and has deepened my self awareness, without compromising my spirituality and faith, has been the greatest blessing of all. Yvette has succeeded where countless other professionals have given up and said "too hard." Having a Dr who looks beyond the bounds of western medicine, who is genuinely passionate about her work makes the world of difference. I couldn't give a higher recommendation to anyone seeking holistic healthcare and wanting to learn from someone who practises what she so generously imparts with her patients.
