About me
Welcome, I’m Jessica Dunkley -the holistic healthcare practitioner and clinical nutritionist behind The Slow Nutritionist. I help women who feel consistently fatigued, disconnected from their bodies, and unsure where to turn next.
Many of the people I work with are navigating ongoing issues such as low energy, hormonal dysfunction, disrupted sleep, sensitivities, allergies, skin issues, or changes around appetite and metabolism. These are often signs that something deeper is asking to be addressed -whether related to stress, lifestyle, or subtle underlying imbalances.
If it feels like your body is not responding the way it used to, or that you’ve tried everything but still don't feel like yourself, you're not alone. It can feel disheartening when you know something isn't right, but you don't yet have the clarity to move forward or the answers to bring resolution.
Balancing the pace of modern life while caring for your health can be complex. My own journey through chronic health challenges taught me that healing isn’t about perfection or quick fixes -it’s about finding your own rhythm, reconnecting to what matters, and receiving the right level of support.
At The Slow Nutritionist, I offer a personalised and compassionate approach that explores what may be contributing to your symptoms -physically, emotionally, and energetically. Together, we take the time to understand your history, your patterns, and your intentions. My approach is personalised and collaborative, grounded in both science and soul.
I aim to offer not just answers, but relief -and from there, a clearer path to more energy, confidence, and peace in your body, and so your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 6 Diploma in Nutritional Therapy and Naturopathy, trained in the United Kingdom. My studies covered biomedicine, clinical nutrition, and functional testing. My training also included foundational knowledge in herbal medicine and energetic principles -equipping me to offer an integrative and well-rounded approach to health.
I am fully insured and registered with:
The Association of Naturopathic Practitioners (ANP)
The Naturopathic Nutrition Association (NNA)
The General Naturopathic Council (GNC)
As a licensed practitioner, I am qualified to interpret functional test results, recommend supplements safely, and work alongside other healthcare professionals as needed. I consider myself a lifelong learner and I am committed to maintaining a high standard of care through continued professional development, evidence-based research, and reflective practice.
Nutrition topics
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.

Additional information
You can opt for an initial one-off, private consultation which allows you the flexibility to book additional follow-up sessions, should you need.
I offer a one-off Health Check service, which includes a functional urine test. This allows insight into your current health status from a metabolic and nutritional perspective [revealing potential imbalances within; nutrient status, gut health, detoxification, neurotransmitter function, and mitochondrial function].
I also deliver a Foundational Health Programme. A 12-week in-depth programme ideal for those with pre-existing health conditions, stubborn symptoms or individuals looking for structured support and guidance.
You are welcome to book a 20-minute complimentary call via the online calendar, or send me an email, to discuss any questions or concerns that you might have. If you're not sure which service is the right one for you, then we can find that out together.
