About me
About me - I am a fully qualified Nutritional Therapist, whose passion is about helping people live healthier lives. From personal experience, I know what a relief it is to have answers to those unexplicable symptoms and to understand why you are not feeling 'yourself'. Today, I want to pass that knowledge onto you! I follow the ancient belief "let food be thy medicine of life".
What is nutrition - Our philosophy is about empowering you with foods and nutrients together with lifestyle choices to give you the vitality and energy you need to embrace and enjoy your busy lives. Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. Our aim is to rebalalnce your health to energize your life.
Focusing on you - I work with men and women whose health and wellbeing has deteriorated due to their hectic lifestyles. If you are fed up with always feeling tired, unable to shift the kilos, eating is no-longer a pleasure and/or your hormones are dictating your moods then it is time to action.
I run different packages, tailored to your individual health concerns and goals. They consist of one-to-one consultations, phone call and email support as well as individualized protocols. Personalized support is important to keep you on track on those days where ‘will power’ might not be so strong. My aim is for you to have long-term success. The packages range from 6 weeks to 6 months depending on your needs and symptoms.
See examples below for our Bronze, Silver and Gold packages
Metabolic Balance®
This is an all-natural health optimising programme that is designed to encourage your metabolism to function more efficiently by regulating insulin and cortisol secretion, hormones associated with appetite. This programme is designed to promote healthy eating and long-term weight management.
We know that a busy lifestyle often results in you being time poor. So in order to make life easier and more manageable, we offer consultations by Skype and telephone as well as the traditional face to face.

Information about health conditions (*)
Nutritional therapy can help enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting nutritional therapy or making any major changes to your diet or lifestyle.

Further information
Are you stressed out? Calling all over-worked men and women who are so busy juggling careers and family life that they have forgotten about their own health and wellbeing! It is time to put you and your health first.
Ill health can creep up on us very slowly until we realise that we nolonger function the way we used to. Low moods, insulin resistance, weight gain, tireness the list is endless. Nothing in the body works in isolation, if one system is struggling, it will often have an impact on all the others. I often see people who 'cope' with their health issues by taking medication such as pain relief tablets or antacids! These are temporary solutions and do not really give them the answers they are looking for. In fact , in the long run they often feel worse.
That is why I became a Nutritional Therapist. I would like to empower you with practical knowledge so you can enjoy travelling on the road to optimum health. So look no further, help is at hand.
