I am a registered Nutritionist supporting clients online and at clinics in London and Hertfordshire.

My journey into nutrition

I have always been passionate about health and nutrition. For this reason, I was surprised to be told in my early twenties that I had unusually high LDL. Having lost my father to cardiovascular disease, I was advised that I would need to take medication for the rest of my life. Keen to find an alternative, I developed my own nutrition programme. After six weeks I was retested and my cholesterol had been dramatically lowered.

This experience taught me two things. Firstly, genetics are only part of the equation. Your health depends on the complex interaction between your genes and your environment, that is to say your diet and lifestyle. Secondly, because we are all genetically unique with different environmental influences, there is no "one size fits all" healthy diet.

My passion for nutrition grew from there and led me to retrain as a Nutritionist at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London, where I graduated with a distinction.

My experience

I spent five years as Club Nutritionist for Watford and Fulham FC optimising their players’ nutrition to support their overall health, body composition and performance. I was immensely proud to be part of the team that saw both clubs achieve promotion to the Premier League.

In the last ten years I have accumulated extensive experience in supporting over 2,000 clients online and at my clinics in London, and Hertfordshire. I always strive to get the best results for each and every client which is evident in my client feedback.

My approach as a Nutritionist

I am a passionate foodie. I believe that healthy eating should be a pleasure. Therefore, I focus more on adding to my clients’ repertoire rather than just taking foods out.

Also, being a busy working mum of two, I understand that healthy eating shouldn’t be overly complicated or time consuming. My approach is practical and supportive. I ensure that my programmes fit with my clients' budgets, dietary preferences, and lifestyles. I also provide practical tools such as shopping lists, recipes, and sample meal plans to help my clients apply my recommendations.

Since graduating, I regularly attend seminars and lectures to ensure my knowledge is kept up to date, and to meet continuing professional development requirements. This is reflected in my recommendations, which are always based on the most current and respected scientific evidence.

Client Feedback

"Caroline is the consummate professional: she is warm, attentive and empathic and yet also very knowledgeable and efficient. She really listened to my concerns and took all aspects of my health into account before tailoring a nutritional programme to suit my needs. I was impressed by her attention to detail and the evident care she took in following up and being available to answer any queries. I would highly recommend her." — Rachael, 34

"For years I've been trying to lose weight. I have succeeded and then failed again. At my worst I was a size 18-20, at my best a size 8 - although not too sure that could have been sustained from a diet perspective. A friend of mine recommended that rather than concentrating so much on exercise or yet another fad diet, I ought to go and see a nutritionist. The one thing that all the exercise experts I've seen over the years agree on is that your diet has a significant impact on your weight, so I went ahead.

Caroline was one of the 3 nutritionists I shortlisted from the internet. After an initial email and a call I knew she was the one I wanted to see. Once I met her I was sooo pleased I had chosen her. So lovely to talk to, gets to understand you and your lifestyle which is what makes her advice such a success! During the session through her questioning, Caroline spotted that things didn't seem quite right with me – once she started delving into what I ate, how I felt etc. it became clear I had a number of symptoms that would indicate adrenal problems including an incredible difficulty to get any sleep at all.

Following some tests and recommended supplements – these were resolved! Through our sessions, I picked up information that will last me forever about eating patterns, what to eat, eating on the run – all tailored specifically to me. I had put on a stone in weight following a month abroad 4 months earlier and the weight just was not shifting. Once the adrenal problems eased up and I had been eating according to my new found knowledge – all about making the right choices rather than going without - the weight started coming off. Now I've lost that stone – so overall a success and the weight is still coming off slowly – but surely! I would thoroughly recommend Caroline!" — Kathy, 43, London

"Having met Caroline and implemented some changes to my diet and the way that I eat, I only wish I had done it sooner. I feel lighter, I have more energy and those deep emotional downs that I was experiencing every month have definitely improved." — Maria, 43

"Working with Caroline is a real pleasure. Her advice is very thoughtful; simple and enjoyable to adopt. Her passion for nutrition is clearly evident and her knowledge on a wide range of subjects helps her bring suggestions for changes to behaviour and diet. And best of all, the fact that she seems to read more research papers than my GP and my BUPA consultant combined after I mentioned issues I am having, gives me great comfort in her recommendations." — Tom, 42

"I cannot thank Caroline enough and am so happy I contacted her. She has always been so approachable, professional and helpful. Most of all, I believe my daughter has been offered such a good start in life which is of upmost importance to me and my family. A big thank-you from my daughter and myself!" — Lucy, 31

"Caroline looked very carefully at my diet and helped me to make some very valuable, easy changes, and to add important nutrients that gave me the strength to get through. I found her approach down to earth, respectful, and professional. I would wholeheartedly recommend her." — Susan, 56

"I attended Caroline's clinic in January this year. I found Caroline's help and expertise to be very beneficial. She provided me with interesting meal plans and options that I had never considered before. I would definitely recommend Caroline to anybody considering help from a nutritionist." — Paula, 35

"Before visiting Caroline I was feeling helpless. I had had bowel problems for about two years and none of the doctors I saw had been able to help me. I’d tried a number of supplements and excluded most types of food from my diet, what made me feel even weaker and constantly tired. During the first appointment Caroline made me feel very comfortable and well looked after. She asked many questions and narrowed down the number of possible diagnoses. After I had some tests done we found out what the problem was and Caroline prepared a recovery plan for me. Without her help I would still be suffering! I can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am. Not only is she extremely professional, with thorough knowledge of the subject but also very warm and welcoming person. Would definitely recommend!" — Jessica, 23, London

"I first saw Caroline following 2 sinus operations in 2012. Caroline was able to give me a diet to follow to help get me back to full health. Not only did we cover sinus symptoms but we also touched on stress and fertility and my plan included helpful suggestions to try to combat all 3 things. I'm pleased to say I am now 6 months pregnant so can definitely vouch for Carolines advice!" — Susan, 39, Hertfordshire
