Biography

“ I believe everyone can benefit from nutritional therapy in order to alleviate nutritional and lifestyle imbalances that may be causing chronic, long term health problems and debilitating symptoms such as fatigue, IBS, or disordered eating/digestive issues. Understandably, these can affect a person’s enjoyment and quality of life.

I have an BSc Honours Degree in Health Science:Nutritional Therapy, and have been practising for over 12 years. I have worked with clients who frequently present with stress related symptoms, as a result of the fast pace and demands of contemporary lifestyles. This affects digestion, energy levels, and undermines their general health and sense of wellbeing.

The premise of my practice is mentoring and enabling my clients to ‘help themselves to health’. I do this by providing them with sensible, evidenced-based nutritional knowledge, personalised programmes that accommodate personal lifestyle and health goals. You may want advice on how to re-educate your eating habits to improve your overall health and wellbeing or to manage your weight or gut health.

I assess your current diet and lifestyle as well and take into account your medical history. I specialise in managing blood sugar levels and dietary retraining for weight loss and conquering yo-yo dieting. My expertise also includes women's health & hormone related conditions.

As an educator and wellness coach, I empower and motivate my clients to make better food choices, both at home and at work. Very small changes in diet and lifestyle can have enormously positive and dynamic effects, which can be noticeable within days. The net result is improved energy, improved performance and productivity and overall feeling more positive, healthy and happy.
