The Thing Most Clients Don't Think About

Most people don't think twice about sending me their blood results or personal health stories over WhatsApp. I think that's a problem — and it's one I've spent three years quietly solving.

Personal health data is sensitive. It deserves to be handled with intention, stored securely, and used only for you. Gmail is not a private channel. WhatsApp is not a secure health platform. And yet that's how most people and wellness practices communicate.

I want to do better. This is a piece about what we built for Major Wellness, why, and what it means for you.

How I Got Here: Tech, Then Wellness, Then Both

Many of you know I have a background in the tech industry — it was my first career. It's also what gave me the segue into bioresonance once I had my baby and knew I didn't want to return to corporate tech and burn out.

Everything changed for me when I discovered my baby was allergic to my breast milk. I found the bioresonance machine, and saw something magical — Software that brought together homeopathy, TCM meridians, acupuncture, essential oils and so much more into one elegant piece of technology. For someone who’d spent decades in the tech industry with a penchant for alternative medicine, it was a thing of beauty. That sealed the deal. The bridge from tech to wellness wasn't a leap — it was the bioresonance machine itself.

So when I say technology matters to me in how we run Major Wellness, I mean it, Because I understand what good technology can do — and what bad technology risks.

What We Built and Why

Our health platform is built on Practice Better, which holds your history. Session notes, forms, health stories, labs if you like and the secure portal where we communicate with you. Initially we got funded by a Hong Kong government technology grant. That's where my first idea of a course in metabolic health came from, incorporating the continuous glucose monitoring experiments some of you have done with me.

Alongside that, we've built our internal operations in Notion — which is where our team manages your records, your reports, and the content we create for you.

Both platforms carry HIPAA certification, which is currently the gold standard for health data privacy.

How We Use AI — and Why I'm Being Transparent About It

There is so much fear around AI, and in equal measure a hell of a lot of gung-ho "let's embrace this and go forward." I want to tell you clearly where we stand.

A quick note on HIPAA (and what it means here)

HIPAA is a US health privacy law. In practice, it is a set of strict rules for how health information is handled.

In plain language, if a system is set up for HIPAA-level handling of health data, it has to take privacy and security seriously.

What that typically covers:

  • who can access your information

  • audit logs and access controls

  • how data is stored and transmitted

  • expectations around confidentiality and staff handling

Is there anything stronger?

In many contexts you'll also see standards like SOC 2 or ISO 27001. Different frameworks, but the aim is similar: formal controls, accountability, and safeguards.

And email?

Email is not a private channel. We do not treat email as the place for sensitive health details. Email is for consent, logistics, and links back to your secure portal.

Those of you who see me in person will know that in some sessions, we record a short conversation I have with you — in order to really capture your baseline data, how you're feeling, what's changed. We do this so we can measure progress. I have seen too many people working on their health for years and not actually moving forward. I want to be able to quantify the results we're having together.

We process those notes using AI — primarily within our Notion environment, which has HIPAA certification implemented. We are not pasting your health information into a public chat tool. It happens within a controlled, certified environment, and is not saved.

We use AI to:

  • Transcribe and process session notes so nothing gets lost

  • Pull together your history into a coherent picture

  • Help draft the personalised content and recommendations we send you

  • Edit my writing for readability — without changing my meaning or word choice

What we do not use AI for:

  • Generating our newsletters (I write those myself)

  • Replacing clinical judgement or our relationship with you

  • Any purpose outside of your care

We have never had any intention to use your data outside of what serves you. That will not change.

What This Makes Possible: The Energetic Health Report

My concept for an energetic health report came from watching clients trying to pull all the various threads of their health providers togther as one story. It is the thing I'm most excited to launch in 2026.

The Energetic Health Report is where we bring together:

  • what we see in the BBC scans

  • what you share in session

  • what we can measure over time

The point is not more information. The point is consolidation: a way to see what is changing, what is not, and what matters next.

What it will do for you

  • Turn a big, complex health story into a clear baseline

  • Help me track progress in a way that is personal and measurable

What it is (and what it is not)

  • It is a living record of your progress and priorities

  • It is not a replacement for relationship, intuition, or clinical judgement

Without AI, this level of insight simply would not be possible for a small practice like ours. It is what allows us to give you something personal — because it is.

True Personalisation

We have also built our platform so that what we send you is actually relevant to you. You male clients who are busy optimising your health won’t receive content written for women in perimenopause. The infrastructure allows us to send you what fits where you are — whether that's finding alignment in a stressful career, navigating the world as a young adult, or supporting a young child through feeding and detox challenges.

We are still learning to use these tools well. But the intention has always been: less noise, more signal.

Our Compass

If you've been on this journey with me for a while, you'll know that our foundational view is this: as humans, we are fundamentally energetic beings. The body is a vessel of light. That light is created in our bones and fuelled by the melatonin switch between your eyes — hence the foundational importance of that morning sunlight.

Our compass is led by the heart. We are guided by the frequency and the resonance of energetic therapies. And our foundational question, in everything we do, is: what would love do?

The technology is in service of that. Not the other way around.
