About me
Do you want to wake up feeling full of energy and ready to tackle the day ahead? Want to enjoy life to the full without feeling held back by your health? Or perhaps you just want advice on how to keep healthy whilst living a busy life? Working with a nutritional therapist can support you on your journey to optimal health and wellness, so that you're ready to live life to the full.
I am a registered nutritional therapist, having completed three extensive years of study at the renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION). Having previously worked as a nurse across a wide range of specialities, I have developed an interest in health promotion & prevention and am passionate about the impact our diet and lifestyle has on our bodies and how we live our lives.
It’s not just food that impacts our health. The stress of everyday life; how we move; how we sleep; our genetic susceptibility and the environment we live in all impact our health and wellbeing. By addressing these issues, I can work with you to develop a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to support you with your health and wellness goals.
I would love to support you on your journey to feeling healthier and happier, supporting you to reach your health goal.

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.

An initial consultation takes approximately 1 hour and costs £85
It involves a detailed review of your health concerns from which I can develop a personalised dietary and lifestyle plan aimed at meeting your health goals. I may suggest supplements to support your health or functional tests, which may be done via your GP or a recommended private lab, which will help me target specific issues
Follow up appointments last approximately 45-50 minutes and cost £60.
These are usually 4-6 weeks later and allow me to assess your progress and evaluate your health plan so that any adjustments can be made if required.
A second follow up is recommended to ensure you are on the right track and confident enough to maintain your plan. I offer a package with two follow-up sessions for £195.
When I work
Monday to Friday. Home visits by arrangement.
