About me

I am passionate about supporting people's health and well-being by looking at their diet and lifestyle and making meaningful, effective, manageable changes.  I have a special interest in supporting women's health, particularly in the areas of hormone balance and gut health.

As is the case with many nutritionists, I came to this profession through my own health struggles and on my own journey I found nutrition and the amazing benefits small changes to your diet can make to your health.  It is very intuitive but often overwhelming and it's hard to know where to start with the huge amount of health information and advice out there, which is why talking to someone qualified to help can be invaluable.  

When I meet with a client, I will take time to listen to their individual situation and goals and will work with them to pull together a plan that is supportive and effective but most importantly realistic and manageable!  They go away from our session with a plan, and another appointment to meet 4-6 weeks later to see how things are but in the meantime we will keep in touch to make sure things are heading in the right direction.  The important thing is always your health and making sure we are working effectively towards your goals.

Why Work With Me?
If you're struggling with hormonal imbalances, digestive discomfort, weight gain or simply want to optimize your health, and you are finding the world of health. messaging overwhelming and sometimes contradictory - I can help!  My approach is rooted in science, but I always consider your  lifestyle, needs, and preferences to ensure lasting changes. Working with me means you will have ongoing support from someone who will take time to understand the challenges you are facing and is ready to guide you back to  health and balance.
