About me
Hi, I’m Emma Whitcroft, a qualified and registered clinical nutritionist specialising in digestive health.
I support adults experiencing bloating, digestive discomfort, food sensitivities, and ongoing gut-related symptoms. My work focuses on helping you understand what may be driving your symptoms and creating personalised, realistic strategies that restore comfort, confidence, and balance.
I take a root-cause approach, combining evidence-based nutrition with practical lifestyle support. Rather than extreme or restrictive methods, I provide guidance that is sustainable, tailored, and designed to fit your life.
There is no judgement — only supportive, collaborative care. Your plan is built around you, and may include nutrition guidance, targeted supplementation where appropriate, and helpful resources such as meal ideas, recipes, and educational materials.
I offer a discovery call where we can discuss your health concerns, goals, and whether my approach feels like the right fit for you. I’ll also explain how I can support you.
My Story
I’ve always loved food, but my perspective changed as I began to see how modern lifestyles and convenience eating were affecting not just health, but how people feel day to day.
This curiosity, together with a personal commitment to improving my own wellbeing, led me to study Nutritional Therapy at the College of Naturopathic Medicine. My training gave me a strong grounding in the science of the body and an evidence-based framework for supporting health through nutrition.
What began as a personal interest grew into a genuine passion. I now specialise in digestive health, helping clients understand their symptoms, rebuild confidence with food, and feel more at ease in their bodies.

Testimonials
After having Covid I suffered from bowel incontinence and bloating when I ate certain foods. Emma advised me on a range of supplements and other measures to support my gut health, and I have since been able to reintroduce certain foods into my diet. It was most helpful to have a range of face-to-face and telephone meetings as well as a report each time we spoke to support and encourage me on my journey. I would definitely recommend Thrive Naturally and Emma to anyone in need of professional support with their gut health.

Before working with Emma, I was struggling with bloating, pain and urgent bowel movements and had tried many things already with very little success. Emma was so supportive throughout the process and I felt listened to; the plans she provided were very holistic, covering lifestyle habits, diet and stress management. I now have more confidence and calmness around my gut and digestion and felt confident moving forward independently to support my gut. I would really recommend working with Emma. — Megan
Emma was incredibly supportive throughout and really took the time to listen and understand what I was going through. Her recommendations helped me to understand my body and how I could support my health through diet and lifestyle. Emma gave me the tools and knowledge to feel more confident about supporting my health moving forward. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for professional nutritional support. — Cathy

Emma was knowledgeable, approachable and very supportive, and gave me practical advice to help me understand how diet and lifestyle could support my digestive health. I felt supported throughout the process and would highly recommend Emma. — Wendy
