About me

I support my clients to make the best choices for their self care through a highly personalised nutrition programme based on scientific evidence. Whether your goals are a sports event, a music performance, or you are working to meet the  pressures of a high performance culture, I offer a range of programmes  designed for each person's unique needs. My 1:1 programmes are enhanced with optional additional insights for highly personalised health goals to optimise physical and mental health.

My programmes are supported with the scientific insights of the specific profile of a DNA Life test, to reveal relevant genes associated with a range of health outcomes which can be improved with diet and lifestyle choices.

My clients benefit from the scientific data measuring their stress responses,  detected through a world class Firstbeat Life device, tracking heart rate variability, to identify strategies to improve recovery and build resilience.

I specialise in  1:1 programmes for:

  • sports nutrition for first time endurance events
  • instrumental musicians' health and wellbeing
  • anyone working in a high performance culture

I see clients in person in Bristol and Cheltenham or online from my home in the beautiful Forest of Dean. By special request I can make arrangements to see clients in person in London. 

In addition to one to one support, I also offer talks to groups. I welcome enquiries from conservatoires, orchestras, ensembles, music groups, sports clubs or corporate organisations. 

I offer a free online wellbeing review to help you find out how a food, supplement and lifestyle programme can help you.

My programmes include:

  • 1:1 consultations 
  • a personalised programme
  • selected supplements
  • account for high quality supplements with 10% discount
  • health and wellbeing coaching 

Additional options for my programmes include:

  • DNALife profiles through DNALife
  • A FirstBeat heart rate variability monitor
  • A range of Functional Medicine tests

Get in touch to set up a free 30 minute online wellbeing review or discussion about your music group requirements.

I am a CNHC registered Nutritional Therapist with an Advanced Certificate in Health and Wellbeing Coaching (IAFPD). I have undertaken post graduate training recognised by BANT with DNALife and am able to offer Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics support to my clients. I also have a Certificate in Sports Nutrition from the Academy of Sports Nutrition.
