About me
I’m dedicated to helping my clients improve their overall health and wellbeing.
Nutrition can often be the missing link because when you start to eat the right foods to support your inflammatory condition, the uncomfortable and often painful symptoms will often improve dramatically. It is often the case that your current diet and eating patterns may be contributing to your symptoms, and that is where I can help you. Together we will craft a plan that you can incorporate into your daily routine to start rebuilding your health.
I use a functional medicine approach to get to the root cause of your symptoms. Together, we’ll work on reducing your symptoms, improving your energy, and uplifting your mood and overall wellbeing. Through personalised nutrition plans, targeted supplements (when necessary), and recommended lifestyle changes, we’ll help strengthen your immunity and wellness.
Consultations are available via Zoom or Google meet - so you can connect from the comfort of home - or in person at Edgbaston Priory in Birmingham.
If you’re curious about how we can work together, I am more than happy to have an informal chat with you! Book your free, no-obligation discovery call below.

Training, qualifications & experience
A graduate in nutritional therapy with an emphasis on nutrition and lifestyle support for optimal health.
In 2008 I set up a successful catering business where I became passionate about the principles of healthy eating and cooking from fresh. It was no fancy restaurant but a daytime canteen, serving fresh salads, homemade soups, a dish of the day and a range of sandwiches on homemade bread with responsibly sourced fillings.
I noticed many years ago that the food I ate had a big impact on my mood and my energy levels, and I would often have a big energy crash around 4 pm. It was during these years that I became fascinated with the latest fad diets, giving everything a go to loose the weight gained from picking at the kids leftovers and then eating big meals in the evening. I didn't understand what worked for other people didn't work for me.
In 2020, I decided to study nutrition therapy, I passed a science access course and went on to become a registered nutritional therapy practitioner, and am in the process of researching my dissertation for my MSc. I truly believe I have found my passion. Each client is unique and I make it my goal to dig deep and find the real root of whatever it is that is causing their symptoms.

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.

I do know how hard it is to find time for yourself when you work or care for others full-time. That is why I will always try to find a time that suits you.
Further information
To provide you with the best care, the process starts with a straightforward nutrition questionnaire to gather information about your health and personal goals.
My approach typically involves a series of consultations to achieve maximum results:
The Initial Consultation (approximately 60 minutes): During this session, we'll delve into your aspirations, current diet and lifestyle, medical history, including any family health trends, and previous test results. By the end of this consultation, you will receive a personalised nutrition plan, guidance on beneficial nutritional tests, and a supplement program if deemed necessary.
Follow-up Consultation (up to one hour): In this meeting, we'll assess your progress, discuss and explain any test results, update your nutrition and supplement plan, and establish new goals for your ongoing health journey.
Further Follow-up Consultations (up to 60 minutes): These sessions will be scheduled as needed to ensure continuous support and monitor your progress, ensuring you have the guidance you require as you work towards your health goals.
My aim is to provide you with comprehensive and ongoing care, so you always feel fully supported throughout your health and wellness journey.
