Jo Rowkins

I’m Jo Rowkins, a nutritional therapist helping women who feel exhausted, overwhelmed or out of balance. Together, we use simple nutrition, stress support and self-care to help your body move out of survival mode and back into rest, digest and repair.

Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or out of balance?
Maybe you’re noticing changes in your cycle, sleep, energy, mood or digestion. Maybe you’redealing with PMS, perimenopause or another hormonal shift. Or perhaps you’re burnt out from holding everything together at work and home, and simply know you need more support.

About me
I have more than fifteen years’ experience supporting clients with a wide range of health concerns. I specialise in stress, energy and hormonal health.

I use simple nutrition, stress and self-care support to help your body move out of survival mode and back into rest, digest and repair.  

My approach is gentle, practical and rooted in balance. Rather than asking you to follow rigid rules, I help you understand what your body needs and build sustainable habits that fit around your real life.

I work with women experiencing hormonal changes, as well as those feeling stressed, exhausted or overwhelmed. My approach is gentle, practical and rooted in the belief that your body needs safety, nourishment and consistent care before it can truly heal.

I work with clients online, as well as in person in Brighton and London, offering one-to-one nutritional therapy and longer-term support programmes.

How Nutritional Therapy Can Help

We’ll look at the whole picture – your symptoms, health history, food, lifestyle, stress levels and personal goals, to create a plan that feels realistic for you.

Rather than focusing only on what to remove, we’ll also explore what to add: nourishing meals, steady blood sugar, restorative sleep, nervous-system support and self-care that helps your body move out of fight-or-flight and into rest, digest and repair mode.

Who do I work with?
I support women experiencing hormonal changes, including PMS, irregular cycles, perimenopause and other hormonal symptoms, as well as people dealing with stress, low energy, poor sleep, digestive symptoms and the effects of trying to do too much for too long.
 

Health programmes and services
I offer a range of ways to work together. Whichever option you choose, we’ll focus on simple, realistic changes that help you build momentum and support your health over time.

• Bespoke Support
  Personalised nutrition and lifestyle guidance based on your symptoms, history, lifestyle and goals.
   
• A Whole-Person Approach
  We look beyond food to sleep, stress, movement, mindset and the daily habits that affect how you feel.
   
• Support At Your Pace
  You’ll be guided and encouraged throughout, with practical changes you can maintain long term.

How it works
Meaningful change usually takes more than one appointment. Your body and habits did not develop overnight, and lasting improvements come from understanding your unique needs and making changes gradually. Working together over a programme gives us time to identify what is contributing to how you feel, put supportive changes in place and adjust them as your body begins to respond. Before your first consultation, you’ll complete a detailed health questionnaire and food diary. This helps me understand your history, symptoms, lifestyle and goals so we can make the most of our time together.

I also offer a Nutrition Reset Call alongside more comprehensive programmes. Please visit my website for more information.

I offer a 20 minute Free Discovery Call to discuss your current health issues and to see if we are a good fit for working together. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

I work with clients on an ongoing basis from 4 weeks to 6 months depending on the programme you choose.

I also offer a one-off Nutrition Reset Call.

Usually my working hours are 9am-5pm, however I'm aware that this isn't always possible for clients. Please do talk to me if you require anything outside these hours. I can offer limited sessions on evenings and weekends where available.

A little bit more about me - My interest in wellbeing began in 2003, when I trained as a Hatha yoga and meditation teacher in an Indian ashram. I’ve been a daily meditator ever since.

I spent three years in Thailand as an Executive Health Consultant at The Spa Resorts in Koh Samui, supporting people from around the world through wellness and fasting programmes. I later moved to Berlin, where I ran workshops until the birth of my daughter in 2012.

I now live in Brighton, where I love being by the sea, swimming, walking my dog, cooking and enjoying quality time with family and friends. I’m passionate about aromatherapy and have a lifelong interest in self-development and holistic living. I enjoy singing and a good glass of red wine. To me, a healthy life is about enjoyment and balance, not perfection.

Location - I mainly consult online, yet occasionally work from a clinic inCentral Hove, a short walk from Hove train station. Numerous buses stop just outside the clinic. (I also work from Clapham Therapy Rooms for those in London, by special arrangement).

Testimonials:

"I came to see Jo with an array of symptoms, especially peri-menopausal related issues. Through committing to her Gold package I was able to make the nutrition and lifestyle changes I needed whilst being coached and guided by Jo all the way. I am now feeling in control of my symptoms, weight and have gained a zest for life again!" - Jane, Brighton.

"I am forever grateful to Jo for helping me get through a period of stress in my life. I was running on empty working all hours under the sun. She ran adrenal testing on me and it transpired that my adrenal function was below par. With the help of Jo's advice I completely changed my diet, took supplements to support my body's stress response and learnt to deeply relax. I signed up for Jo's Platinum package knowing that I needed a superior level of support to get my health back on track. Jo even taught me meditation and breathing techniques. I now have a great work/life balance and am feeling wonderful. Thank you Jo!" - John, Ditchling.

"Jo has a lovely warm manner and a way of making a person feel totally at ease and very comfortable discussing details of one's health" - Fiona, Brighton.

"Jo helped me to increase my fertility as my partner & I had been trying for a baby for a couple of years. The first consultation was very thorough and she pin-pointed some issues that we hadn't considered. We came to Jo as a last resort, but now we realise that nutrition and lifestyle medicine plays a first line role in any health issue. We underwent a wonderful weekend detox/pamper where we spent quality time looking after ourselves under Jo's instruction. She then helped our bodily systems work efficiently by putting us on targeted supplements for our individual health complaints. After investing in Jo's Gold package we were delighted with the results... I'm now pregnant and we are healthier than we've ever been!" - Joy, Brighton.

"Jo is an extremely knowledgeable and caring person and she is the best nutritionist I have ever seen. I was suffering from intense and frequent sugar cravings but after  following her advice I seem to have that under control. She is an absolute mine of information and she has given me many tips and recipes that make my diet so much better. She told me things which I had never known before and thanks to her I am having an allergy test as well as a candid-a and parasite test done in order to eliminate or confirm various possible causes of my many symptoms.  I still have a long way to go but thanks to Jo I am on the path to better nutrition. I am waiting for her to return to Brighton so that I can see her. My daughter wants to see her as well." - Sushila, London.

"Through the efforts of Jo’s nutritional tips, my energy levels have increased, and my blood sugar levels have decreased – and best of all I’m enjoying eating again without gaining weight! I have lost 20 pounds and have eliminated the need for my Prozac! I am very pleased with my new outlook on eating healthily with choices. I don't gain weight! And never feel hungry, and don't crave the things I used to such as chips and chocolate, coffee and wine." - Beverly, Singapore.
