About me

About Me

I am a Registered Nutritional Therapist focusing on female hormonal health. My particular interest is supporting midlife women to navigate life.

If you are ready to optimise your energy levels, mood, hormonal health, and general well-being, please feel free to get in touch. I offer a free 15-minute chat to explain in more detail how I can help you. 

How I Work

I am a big believer in incremental change and pride myself that I will meet you where you are at; each recommendation that I make is sustainable, achievable, and agreed in advance with you. 

I take a holistic approach in my consultations, and we will examine your movement, sleep, stress levels etc., as well as what you are eating. I think of well-being as a jigsaw; you have to get all of the pieces right to feel good. 

I like to think I am a gentle Nutritionist and I take an 'adding things in' approach rather than removing all your faviourite foods. I won’t ask you to do anything that I wouldn’t do myself!

Healthy Eating Is Confusing

With so many different diets being lauded on social media, there is a lot of confusion out there on how to eat healthily and in the best way for your particular life stage. I can cut through the confusion and give you specific advice tailored to you. 

Experience

As well as my private clinic, I currently work as Nutritionist for Champneys' Health Spas' flagship resort in Tring. 

I previously lectured at the prestigious Institute for Optimum Nutrition for three years. 

After Your Consult

After each consultation, I will email you a detailed Health Optimisation Plan summarising my recommendations and next steps. Your plan will contain dietary advice, a supplement protocol (if appropriate), recipes tailored to your diet and eating plan, and lifestyle advice. In the next session, we will build on this plan.

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
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.
