About me
I help women, children and families find the root cause of their chronic physical and mental health issues. I take a functional medicine approach using food, lifestyle and carefully selected supplements. Where necessary, I use functional tests to help guide us.
I believe the body knows how to heal itself if given the right tools to do so. I offer a personalised and tailored approach using the latest evidence to create realistic and workable plans for busy, modern people.
Appointments are online or face to face by arrangement. Free 20 minute discovery call to see if I can help - or suggest someone who can.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained for four years with the renowned Institute of Optimum Nutrition in London. I'm a Registered Nutritional Therapist with BANT, the leading body of Nutritional Therapists requiring members to follow a strict code of conduct and continuous training. I am also registered with the CNHC. I have a background in legal professional services which has given me first hand experience of the juggle of modern family life.
I have a particular affinity for women/child health, anxiety and mood disorders and chronic fatigue and long term infections.
Member organisations
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including massage, aromatherapy and nutrition.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
The British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy is the professional body for Nutritional Therapists. There are different BANT membership classes, including Full Member, Fellow Member and Student Member. All BANT practitioners must have met the required standards of training, be fully insured and adhere to the BANT Code of Ethics and Practice.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

info 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.

Further information
I mainly work online but face to face meetings can be arranged in both East Lothian and Edinburgh.
I generally see clients for a minimum of two appointments, with the first appointment taking 1.15 hours and follow ups lasting 45 minutes.
Before your first appointment, you will be issued a lifestyle and diet questionnaire and diet so that I can be well prepared for our first appointment. I will work with you to provide a personalised, one-to-one programme of nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
