About me
I am a fully qualified and registered Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist with more than ten years experience. I am also a member of the Institute of Functional Medicine and enjoy helping people of all ages with a wide range of health issues.
I have a special interest in digestion, which is known to be the gateway to good health, and can help with many problems including bloating, abdominal pain, dietary intolerances and poor absorption.
Naturopathic Nutrition is a form of natural medicine that focuses on the healing power of foods. It looks for the underlying causes of illness rather than simply treating the symptoms and aims to heal the whole person.
My experiences with my clients as well as my own health issues in the past, have shown me that nutritional therapy can promote good health and also prevent, and even reverse disease.
The things I love most about my job are the challenge of analysing complex health problems, understanding their root causes and developing an effective and realistic healing plan.
The initial consultation is thorough. There is a detailed form to complete in advance which allows me to think everything through carefully beforehand. This ensures that the first session does not simply consist of lots of questions.
The appointment lasts for 75 minutes with ample time for discussion. I provide a personalised Nutritional Plan, backed up with relevant factsheets and recipes. After the consultation, if there are any questions the first email or call is free of charge.
There is no requirement for you to book a minimum number of appointments. Follow up sessions are entirely at your discretion and can be booked as required.
I offer a free 15 minute call - please contact me on 07709 979688 to arrange a date and time.
By addressing the underlying causes of your health issues it is possible for your body to come back into balance naturally and heal.

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.

- As the appointment lasts 75 minutes there is ample opportunity for discussion and to ask any questions
