About me

Hi and thank you for visiting my profile. 

My passion in Nutrition came from my own journey out of serious illness many years ago. I was able to recover by adjusting my diet and life style. My recovery made me believe that our physical and emotional bodies may regain optimal health anytime, if we only create the right internal and external environment.  

Health is not the absence of disease, but rather a wonderful state of being. It is supreme vitality, an extraordinary experience that involves all your senses at a higher level. If this is you, then great! But if you are far from it, then please get in touch.

Please remember that your health is be the best investment you will ever make, so take good care of your body, as it is your only vehicle to take you through life.

Here to help you, whichever your health concern!

Fees

Free initial telephone session

Additional information

I offer 15 minutes free initial consultation over the phone whenever needed, for a preliminary discussion about your problems.

Please get in touch directly for information about my fees.

I offer two initial packages of either three or five consultations, depending of the severity and complexity of the case.

I practice in Bournemouth, and I home visit whenever needed at no extra fees, if within Bournemouth area.

I may use functional testing in more complex cases.

I offer discounts on supplements, compared to retail prices.

When I work

Monday to Friday 12.00-18.00 (last appointment). Some availability on Saturday.

Over the phone and video consultations also available.

Further information

Before your first appointment you will need to complete a questionnaire, which includes your health goals, a comprehensive health and medical screen and a three days food and symptom diary. This should be ideally emailed back to me prior your initial appointment. The more I know the better I may be able to guide your own body’s return to optimal health.

After this preliminary examination, we will discuss the most appropriate dietary and life style interventions to suit your needs and health goals.

Nutritional Therapy is not a quick fix, but a journey of self discovery and it may take some time to regain health and happiness. I understand that change, for any part of life, is always hard to embrace, but I believe that with the right tools, mind set and attitude, impossible things may become possible.

You won't be left alone on your journey. We will work together as a team, which means you can contact me via email in between consultations for any burning questions or if you need to share new insights. I will also reach out to you, on a regular basis, in order to check-in on your progresses. I want you to succeed in pursuing your health objectives.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Nutritionist's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Nutritionist to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
