About me

Healthspan Optimisation - Body Composition - Sleep & Stress Optimisation - Natural Testosterone Support - Physical and Mental Performance Improvement

Engaging me as your expert nutrition and lifestyle medicine advisor, you can choose between change focused programme packages starting from £450 and a Sustain programme (continuous support and improvement) from £475

Shaped by your goals, enablers and constraints, we will build you a personalised, science-based, actionable programme, then reflect and adjust this through several loops of action, outcome and adjust until you are satisfied with progress.

For example, your goals may include: 

  • Improve energy and poor sleep
  • Find the root cause of gut issues and remedy them
  • Improve your overall healthspan
  • Enhance your physical and mental performance
  • Change your body composition (lose fat, gain muscle)

If you are looking for a professional to work with you long-term I also offer a Sustain programme more suited to run and maintain, detecting any problems early and ensuring you are doing the right things, and doing them right.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a BANT Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and BANT Registered Nutritionist also registered with the CNHC. This simply means that I am bound by a professional handbook and code of conduct, so you can be sure you are working with a regulated, insured professional.

I am also a WABBA Personal Trainer with a special interest in the areas of physical and mental performance and leveraging the full scope of lifestyle medicine (exercise, movement, sleep, mindfulness and more) in addition to nutrition. 

From my first career, spent working as a Human Resources architect for and oil and gas major, I carry over the discipline and professionalism that ensures I will do what we agree upon, on time, and always offer you the challenge and support you welcome.

Nutrition topics

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.

It is very likely I can flex so that we can find a mutually agreeable time and day for our sessions, with my primary working times as above being just my most regular hours.

Further information

Our process to work together would look like this:

Step 1. Discovery Call (free) 

Step 2. Confirm a best-fit programme for you

Step 3. I learn all about your goals, challenges, enablers and blockers

Step 4. We select the best options to find and address the relevant root causes or the biggest levers for positive change

Step 5. We apply your changes, observe, reflect, and adjust as needed

That first step - the Discovery call - is how we learn how strong a match we are for one another as client and practitioner. If we proceed you will help me understand your goals, nutrition, lifestyle and environment. I will use a whole-person, client-centred functional medicine approach to devise opportunities and priorities to prepare a health optimisation plan for you. Each time we hold a consultation we will review your outcomes and update your plan.
