About me
Nutrition and its links to health has been a life-long interest of mine. I strongly believe that nutrition is a key part in achieving a healthy and creative life. Furthermore, I am convinced that prevention, through optimal nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, is the best medicine of all.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully insured, registered Nutritional Therapist with a degree in Nutritional Medicine from West London University. I am a member of the British Association of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and accredited by the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), which is an accredited nutrition register regulated by the Professional Standards Authority of the United Kingdom. I am an accredited Wellbeing Coach with the prestigious 'The Chrysalis Effect' Wellness Centre, and a DNA Registered Certified Practitioner.
I have worked for over 4 years with cancer patients, on cancer wards, and in clinics, in two different NHS Trusts, providing cancer nutrition. I also have more than 3 years of experience running a weight management clinic in a North London Cancer Centre – supporting patients during and after their treatment; in particular, breast cancer patients. Currently, I work full-time in Oxford, helping individuals to regain their health after their breast cancer treatment.
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.

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.
