About me
Hello, I’m Clare, a Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and I specialise in supporting individuals with digestive conditions, autoimmune diseases, weight management, thyroid issues, skin complaints, pain and unexplained fatigue. I have a keen interest in women’s health, supporting my clients to balance their hormones and boost energy levels, allowing them to navigate through their lives with confidence and vitality.
Are you:
- Trapped in a cycle of bloating, diarrhea or reflux?
- Grappling with immune conditions and food sensitivities?
- Navigating the challenges of hormonal imbalance or perimenopause ?
- Feeling exhausted, dealing with brain fog or struggling to sleep?
- Finding it difficult to control your weight, combat sugar cravings, or manage blood sugar?
- Struggling to perform daily activities due to painful, stiff joints?
- Concerned about your blood tests or cardiovascular disease ?
- Fed up with skin flare ups when you've tried everything?
Many people turn to nutritional therapy after enduring a long, uphill battle with persistent symptoms and ongoing health challenges. My approach focuses on uncovering the root causes of health concerns rather than simply masking symptoms. Through a thorough analysis of your health history, dietary patterns, and lifestyle factors, I construct a personalised plan tailored to your specific individual health challenges, preferences and goals.
I invite you to book a FREE 20-minute Discovery Consultation to discuss your health concerns, learn more about my approach and how I can assist you in reaching your goals using the link below: https://calendly.com/clarebellininutrition/discovery-call
HOW I WORK
My practice usually runs online, enabling me to support clients nationwide, although I’m based in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire. I can make arrangements to see clients in person for their first appointment.
I offer 4 packages lasting between 6 weeks and 6 months, generally meeting weekly which has proven to be more effective in facilitating successful changes. All packages start with an initial consultation and are followed by a number of check-in appointments. I integrate health coaching into my practice to provide you with the guidance, support, and accountability needed to implement dietary and lifestyle changes effectively.
Your initial consultation will last between 60 – 90 mins. I will ask you to complete and return a detailed health questionnaire and food diary prior to this meeting, allowing me to research your case. During the consultation we will go through your questionnaire, discuss your symptoms, medical history and family background. I will explain how your diet and lifestyle are impacting your symptoms and overall health. We will make a personalised plan, exploring challenges and obstacles which may get in the way. I often recommend supplements to address nutrient deficiencies and support the body's natural healing processes, enhancing the effectiveness of your diet and lifestyle interventions. I may suggest functional testing to gain a deeper understanding of your health beyond just your symptoms. These tests provide valuable information about nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, gut symptoms, food sensitivities, and inflammatory levels, allowing for a more targeted, personalised and effective approach to treatment.
During your check-ins, we'll review your progress, discuss any changes in your symptoms or health status, and adjust your nutrition plan as needed. Frequent check-ins enable you to take small, manageable steps that accumulate into significant results without feeling overwhelmed. Regular meetings allow me closely track your progress and provide the necessary guidance, motivation and accountability, ensuring you stay focused and committed to achieving your heath goals.
I also offer individual consultations and check-ins in certain circumstances, although packages provide more effective and sustainable health outcomes for clients.
Training, qualifications & experience
I studied Nutritional Therapy for 4 years at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition where I graduated with a Distinction. I am registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) a UK voluntary register of health practitioners, set up with government support to protect the public, allowing them to choose appropriately qualified, trained and insured practitioners.
I am a member of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) the professional body for Registered Nutritional Therapists. BANT members are trained to work in a 1:1 clinical setting, required to be educated to a high standard and must keep up to date with the latest scientific developments. I've trained in health coaching with Zest for Life and use effective resources to help clients set realistic goals, develop action plans and overcome barriers to change.
I am an accredited reflux practitioner with Digestion With Confidence. Where Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) are necessary and essential, I can can offer strategies to support digestion, reduce side effects and reduce nutritional deficiencies. Where the reduction in PPI use is appropriate in line with NICE guidelines, I can work with you and your medical team to support the withdrawal process whilst managing rebound heartburn and ensuring better outcomes.
I also have a Practitioner Membership offering Pharmacology support so you can be confident that I am educated on medication and supplement interaction.
I offer evidence-based nutrition advice, tailoring dietary and lifestyle recommendations to each individual’s unique dietary preferences, goals and health history. I use the Functional Medicine Model to assess a client’s health, taking into account their diet, lifestyle, family history and health journey. I offer guidance to improve health, lower risk of disease and provide support for chronic conditions.
However, Nutritional Therapy is not a substitute for medical advice, clients presenting with symptoms indicating a serious health issue will always be referred to their doctor for further evaluation.
