I provide you with clarity on the science-backed ways to improve your health.
Be that understanding and resolving a health problem, or pursuing a meaningful health goal, like sport performance.
Working closely with you as your health partner, we cover:
- Diet, including what, when, and how much
- Supplementation, specific and targeted
- Functional Testing for actionable insights
- Sleep and stress
- Environment and toxins exposure
- Creating habits to make new behaviours your default
I won't just give you advice.
I partner with you, co-creating something specific and personal to you. Something you can actually DO.
How do we work together?
We start by understanding your goals whether that’s:
- Boosting energy and improving sleep
- Resolving persistent gut issues
- Enhancing healthspan and longevity
- Sharpening physical and mental performance
- Changing body composition (fat loss, muscle gain)
From there, we co-create a personalised, evidence-based programme, then we work together through several action → outcome → adjustment loops until your progress is maximised.
EXAMPLE PROGRAMME GOALS
Men's Health
We will use functional testing to gain actionable insights first into your very personal biomarkers. Then we will deploy the full force of small shifts, daily habits, supportive routines, foundations and ways of eating and moving that suit you. You can be confident of meaningful positive change.
Body Composition
Forget the “weight loss at all costs” approach. That is never sustainable nor healthy.
We focus on building muscle, protecting bone health, and achieving a truly healthy weight. Losing weight is only part of getting healthy. Your plan will flex around your habits, confidence, and lifestyle, so it’s realistic, sustainable, and effective.
Healthspan Optimisation
You don’t need a specific health issue to take action. If your goal is more vitality, longer-lasting health, and reduced risk of chronic disease, we’ll build a programme that enhances your healthspan, helping you feel better now and decades from now.
Sports Nutrition
As a former competitive athlete and WABBA-qualified Personal Trainer, I know how to use nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and testing to push your performance further. Whether you’re training for strength, endurance, or general fitness, I can help you achieve your best.
Bottom line: If you’re serious about taking control of your health, present and future, I can build with you the plan, guide your actions, and ensure you achieve results that last.
Let’s make your goals happen together?

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.
Member organisations
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including massage, aromatherapy and nutrition. In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers. A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
The British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy is the professional body for Nutritional Therapists. There are different BANT membership classes, including Full Member, Fellow Member and Student Member. All BANT practitioners must have met the required standards of training, be fully insured and adhere to the BANT Code of Ethics and Practice.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

info 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.

HMRC Tax Free Allowance
HMRC treat an annual health assessment as tax free. You can treat it as a business expense if you run your own company, and it is tax free.
This only covers assessment, not intervention, but I can split my invoicing to you so you have a "health assessment" invoice you can definitely treat as a business expense and tax free.
Tests, Supplements, Apps and Devices?
When we agree on a functional test, supplement, device or anything else that is a good fit for your goals, and I have any trade discount, I'll pass that on to you.

Further information
Our process to work together would look like this:
Step 1. Personal Health Strategy Call (free, no commitment needed)
Step 2. We confirm a best-fit programme for you
Step 3. You share your goals, challenges, enablers and blockers, your dietary pattern, meds, supplements, and we might use functional testing
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 call - is how you can gain confidence that working with me is the right choice for you. Worst case scenario is that you leave with a better understanding.
