About me
I'm Jenny, an integrative oncology nutritionist providing personalised food and lifestyle support for adults. My approach is tailored to the needs of the individual, their tumour type & unique physiology.
I work with adults diagnosed with adenocarcinomas of the breast, prostate, lung, colon, endometrium; basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, Melanomas, Sarcomas; brain tumours such as Glioma, Glioblastoma as well as other tumour types.
As an oncology nutritionist, my aim is to provide:
- an improved quality of life throughout all stages of treatment - chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy or surgery
- mitigate any side effects from treatment (acute & chronic)
- prepare you for surgery to optimise recovery times and reduce the risk of surgical complications, as well as help post surgery.
- provide personalised strategies that may improve the efficacy of treatment
- improve sleep & resilience to stress
- to feel empowered, reduce fear & provide reassurance for food & lifestyle choices.
- reduce risk of disease recurrence
- give you the tools to take your health into your hands now & for the long term
I provide a fully individualised, approach to your care, taking into account your entire medical history, family history, previous diagnosis, stress & trauma, exposure to toxins, evaluating your gut health, hormones, overall immune system health over your lifetime - it all helps to build up a picture of what makes you, you.
Through the use of functional testing*, I work to assess and address the environment which may have favoured the tumour to thrive in the first instance. Each client is unique, and my nutrition and lifestyle (such as using physical activity, meditation and breath work) protocols reflect this.
*functional testing & supplements aren't included in the investment of any programme. Examples of tests include stool to assess microbiome; urine to assess hormones, stress response, nutrient status; blood tests to review inflammatory status, blood sugar; DNA to ascertain how nutrition and lifestyle modifications can be tailored to your genetic makeup.
Client testimonials
““Jenny was more than just a nutritionist; she was a lifeline, a guide, and a key player in my recovery journey. I truly believe that her guidance played a critical role in my recovery and survival. Thanks to her, I am now living a healthier, more fulfilling life than I ever imagined possible.” JS
"I have found working with Jenny transformational…I was probably in the worst place of my life…I now feel better and happier than I had in the 18 months since my adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, diagnosis" HL
"I honestly don’t know how I would have managed without Jenny’s support. She's given me a sense of control and empowerment in a situation that can often feel the opposite." BJ
"Her personalised protocol, designed to work alongside my clinical treatment, has helped tremendously—my adenocarcinoma is now only located in my prostate, with even a decrease in size." RS
"I'd definitely recommend Jenny to anyone navigating an oncology diagnosis—it's such an unsettling and scary time, and someone to guide you along the way will be a huge help." ST
"Working with Jenny was much bigger than a nutritional plan—I was encouraged to look at all areas of my lifestyle and to be much more proactive in my treatment." JH
“Surpassed my expectations. Wow, after 6 months of speaking fortnightly, functional tests and results discussed, I feel so empowered. Jenny is so knowledgable, approachable, supportive and encouraging. I have no hesitation in recommending you to people who may benefit from a journey with you.” JJ
"Jenny’s insights and prompts, helped me focus on taking positive action to support my healing alongside the medical treatment. I feel better today than I have for years." C
"The entire process has been incredibly empowering. Instead of just waiting for my next scan, I now feel a sense of agency in my journey." DB
"I looked forward to our regular sessions where each week she introduced new tools into a personalised plan which I felt inspired and motivated to follow." FS
"I cannot recommend Jenny more highly or be more satisfied. I would recommend all oncology warriors to contact her as she reassures me that she has something in the armoury for every stage. I also lost some excess fat I had built up in between last year and diagnosis and am now sustaining my ideal body weight which has also helped with my chemo treatment. It also bodes well for any potential operation after chemo." VB
"Jenny is intuitive, caring, insightful, and highly skilled. She listens implicitly and probes with gentle questions to gain insights to help formulate a bespoke personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan that really works! Thank you Jenny for your kindness, understanding, and never ending patience. It’s been a pleasure and I’m truly grateful to be working with you on this journey". TT
"Jenny is fabulous - incredibly knowledgable, professional, responsive, compassionate and utterly dedicated to helping her clients navigate their journey after a diagnosis. As a sarcoma survivor herself, she truly gets it. She helped me immensely when my sleep deteriorated as I was recovering from surgery to remove my oestrogen positive tumour. I wouldn't contemplate going to anyone else for my nutrition needs". MS
"Jenny is a fantastic coach & nutritionist, she is very helpful and comes up with effective solutions. Her advice is really useful and completely tailored to your individual needs, thanks so much Jenny". LT
