In 1999, John Coombs believed he had life all figured out.
He was debt-free, living in a beautiful home beside a stunning beach with his partner Deirdre and their four sons. Their community was supportive, close-knit, and filled with all the amenities a young family could dream of. John’s vocation was more than a job — it was a mission. As a supplier of natural, health-enhancing food, he was committed to both human wellness and environmental regeneration. Life felt aligned and purposeful.
But everything changed overnight.
A Life-Altering Diagnosis
Deirdre, a trained naturopath and vibrant soul, was diagnosed with cancer. The diagnosis quickly turned terminal. John left his work behind to focus entirely on helping her heal, setting out on a relentless, heart-wrenching crusade to find solutions — not just for Deirdre, but for the many others suffering from chronic, often misunderstood conditions.
Despite having more knowledge, resources, and connections than most, John and Deirdre found themselves lost in a maze of conflicting advice, treatment paths, and hopeful promises. From allopathic to naturopathic clinics, both in New Zealand and abroad, each offered a piece of the puzzle — but none offered the whole picture. Tragically, the most effective and holistic support came too late.
Deirdre passed away at just 40 years old, leaving behind grieving children, friends, and a devastated life partner. It was at the Gawler Foundation in Melbourne — one of the final places they turned to — that they finally encountered a whole-person approach that integrated body, mind, and spirit. This experience changed everything for John.
A New Purpose, Forged in Pain
The loss of Deirdre didn’t just mark the end of a relationship — it marked the beginning of a lifelong commitment. John emerged with a profound understanding: true healing must be holistic. His purpose deepened from simply promoting healthy food to transforming the way we view and support wellbeing.
But the journey didn’t get easier.
After Deirdre’s passing, John was left with mounting medical debt and the daunting task of raising teenage sons alone. Eventually, the emotional, physical, and financial toll led to a breakdown. Burned out and overwhelmed, he suffered a near-death experience. The family home was sold. The stress, grief, and financial hardship were immense. Yet, from this lowest point, John began to rebuild — again.
A Rare Fusion of Lived Experience and Scientific Insight
Today, John Coombs is a recognised leader in whole-person healing and a pioneer in emerging fields such as quantum biology, advanced nutrition, and emotional resilience. His unique strength lies in his integration of deep personal experience with scientific and clinical insight — a rare fusion in the world of modern healthcare.
John understands the hidden burdens of the 21st century:
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or Adrenal fatigue that steals motivation and identity, and silently the body starts to run down, with hormones, immunity, gut health, circulation, metabolism as well as confidence and relationships all suffering
- ADHD, depression and anxiety that disrupt daily life and relationships
- Silent inflammation and stress-induced illness that modern medicine often overlooks that lead to a wide range of other diseases that can be expense and difficult to treat
He also brings wisdom to bear on traditional health issues — whether metabolic disorders, immune dysfunction, or hormonal imbalances — approaching each patient with compassion, precision, and a systems-based mindset. His work includes the integration of hair follicle analysis with a 3 month written nutritional and lifestyle plan, high grade nutritional supplements, live blood analysis to view a snapshot of your own blood cells on screen, advanced thyroid analysis, biofield analysis, quantum healing technologies, personalised metabolic reports, and emotional and spiritual resilience coaching.
A Voice for the Silent Suffering
John’s story mirrors the experiences of many — those who have searched for answers, only to feel lost in a fragmented and confusing health system. His mission now is to ensure no one else has to walk that path alone or too late.
He realises that unattended fatigue
Through his work at Global Health, John helps clients reframe their health not just as the absence of disease, but as a dynamic state of balance, vitality, and self-awareness. His commitment to evidence-informed natural health and deep emotional healing is helping people recover their energy, clarity, and sense of purpose — often for the first time in years.
