Health and Wellness coach and Medical Herbalist
Giacomo Sandri
Hi, I am Giacomo, a holistic health coach, health coach, and sport massage therapist with a background in holistic medicine and medical herbalism.
I have dedicated my clinical practice to supporting people in achieving optimal energy, mental sharpness, and emotional resilience. After struggling with low energy, depression, anxiety, chronic inflammation, and exhaustion throughout my twenties, I found my way out through a regular use of medicinal herbs in combination with dietary changes, daily exercises, and the thorough support of health and wellness coaches. This personal journey has inspired me to help others who are facing similar challenges, such as chronic fatigue, poor energy, and debilitating conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome/ME, fibromyalgia, and long COVID.
My unique therapeutic model combines the expertise of a nutritional health coach, nutritionist coach, and integrative nutrition health coach to provide personalized nutrition guidance, lifestyle coaching, and medicinal herbs. This approach supports you in restoring your physical energy, mental sharpness, emotional resilience, and—most importantly—empowering you to become the vibrant, energized version of You!

“After contacting him for assistance with getting out of the perpetual cycle of burnout and heightened anxiety, he provided both information in the form of a dietary plan, resources to help understand more about the health conditions I was experiencing. After following Giacomo’s protocol for the past few months, I feel so much more resourced and have found myself able to handle life challenges and responsibilities, and my health issues have improved in ways that I could not have imagined.”

Yes! With the right combination of dietary optimization, herbal remedies, and daily self-empowering routines, chronic fatigue can be significantly reduced and often completely resolved. As an integrative nutrition health coach and qualified herbalist, I will tailor your program to address the root causes of your fatigue. While the process may involve progress with occasional setbacks, persistence and patience are key to success.
How long will it take to regain my energy and vitality?
The timeline for regaining energy and vitality varies depending on factors such as the severity of your condition and your commitment to implementing the recommended changes. The more consistent and proactive you are with the dietary, herbal, and lifestyle strategies provided by A qualified herbalist or integrative nutrition health coach, the faster you can expect to see results. While some improvements may be noticeable within weeks, lasting transformation typically takes a few months of dedicated effort, with support from your wellness coach
Is herbal medicine the same of homoeopathy?
No. Homeopathy is based on the "like cures like" principle, using highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's self-healing response. Herbal medicine, on the other hand, uses whole plant extracts or parts (leaves, roots, flowers, etc.) in measurable doses to treat ailments. It works through the active compounds in plants, which have direct physiological effects on the body.
