About me
About me
I'm Jo, a Nutritional Therapist based in Bucks. I see clients both online and at home. I usually do the initial assessment face to face as I think it is useful to get to know each other and then do all subsequent sessions online however, I am very flexible.
I spent 25-years in healthcare and have a conventional pharmaceutical background which I now combine with a holistic nutrition and lifestyle approach. I work with someone to identify the root cause of their symptoms and create a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to address their specific needs. I am a firm believer in keeping things simple and creating simple habit changes, that when done consistently every day, add up to big change.
I have particular interest in weight management, specifically mid-life weight gain, insulin resistance, blood sugar management, stress and sleep and can provide practical, evidence based advice, achievable aims and ongoing support

Testimonials
"For anyone wanting to make simple, positive steps towards taking control of their own health destiny, I recommend Jo completely. She has a wealth of knowledge and has a sincere passion for helping people improve their lives through nutrition. She doesn’t overwhelm with medical information, instead she listens, respects and recommends a programme tailored to your specific needs. Sometimes small, simple changes, made daily, have the biggest impact, and after 'tweaking’ my diet, I’ve already noticed a huge improvement in my health and vitality. Eat Nourish Thrive is a part of my self care and I will continue to use her services to live my best life."
Kathy
"Jo has really helped me tackle some long-standing stomach issues, as well as getting to the root of several mysterious symptoms that I also had going on. She is compassionate and personable, and explains things really well - I felt that she genuinely cared about improving my health. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing nutritional guidance."
