Julia Witherspoon

I’m Julia, I’m a Dorset based, BANT registered nutritional therapist and a Buteyko certified breathing coach.  I specialise in supporting women over 40, who may be really struggling through the perimenopause years or beyond, offering expert guidance to alleviate symptoms and restore vitality.

I also work with all adults (male or female) whose health (and health conditions) may be being negatively impacted by their poor breathing patterns.  Re-learning how to breathe efficiently can have profound health benefits (I have felt these myself after under going my own breathing 're-education' which led me to train to become a breathing coach myself).  

I am also passionate about brain health and reducing our risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease (including Alzheimer's Disease) as we age.  I want everyone to understand that diet, lifestyle (and efficient breathing) can play a HUGE role in making sure not only our body remains healthy as we age, but our brain and our mind do as well.  

Working with me is enjoyable, energetic and collaborative, and you will feel motivated, encouraged and inspired to regain your va va voom and make the rest of your life the best of your life!

What to do now you've found me:

Whizz over to my website where you will be able to download my Perimenopause Top Ten - ten things you can do TODAY to start getting on top of symptoms AND/OR my Stop Counting Sheep, Get to Sleep sleep e-book because I know only too well how sleep can elude us once we hit 40....

You can send me an email or phone me via the contact details on Nutritionist Resource or book a free 30 minute introductory call via my website.

We can have an informal, no obligation, chat about your main health issues and how you want to feel and I can explain how nutritional therapy may really be able to help.  I am passionate about the power of diet and lifestyle for our health both now and as we age, and I know there are things we can do together to help you achieve better health. 

And I always include brain health in the mix, as mid-life for women is precisely the time of life that all women need to start working on reducing risk of neurodegenerative disease decades down the line.  Don't ever think you can't mitigate risk; you absolutely can!

I offer a range of different ways you can work with me (over differing lengths of time) and we can discuss on a call which is likely to work best for you.

I am able to arrange - if required - a number of amazing functional tests that can look at your hormones, your gut microbiome, your thyroid, your blood etc etc.  I also have access to a range of fantastic, targeted supplements, not available off the shelf, to help with your journey to better health.

I had to navigate (more like struggle through) my perimenopause alone, as I didn't even understand that there was help available, but I am here now to help you.

Some client testimonials

I met Julia via a recommendation from a friend. I very much enjoyed working with her. Julia is very informative without being scary or giving out un-realistic ideas. I felt that Julia listened to me and created a plan that worked for me. It has been super interesting learning new things and i can say that i feel much better from the changes she suggested. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Julia. Thank you! (Jessica)

I have worked with Julia for a few months and with her guidance and support made the necessary changes to my nutrition and self care that I needed. I set goals and with Julia’s knowledge she gave me tips on diet, exercise, self care. I’ve started seeing the improvements I wanted and am well on my way to achieving my goals. I’ve got more energy, am eating well and losing weight. I feel Julia helped demystify all the information out there about food, nutrition and supplements. (Patricia)

Excellent experience working with Julia, full of helpful information and not at all judgemental. Lots of advice and encouragement throughout. I have learned a lot and feel that I have really benefitted from this course, excellent value. Lots of tips and motivation. I cannot recommend highly enough. Lovely lady and full of positivity. (Lara)

Julia has given excellent advice throughout the 12 week programme, resulting in a range of benefits from improved food choices, increased energy, better sleep and no sugar cravings. The additional tuition on Buteyko breathing has also improved my Long COVID symptoms. Would definitely recommend Julia Nutrition. (Anna)

After the Buteyko course I am so aware of how I breathe and how I should breathe. By taking control of my breathing, life feels a little calmer and my sleep has hugely improved. Julia was a fantastic coach completely engaging the whole group but also able to focus on individual needs. She was supportive and because of her own breathing journey, was able to relate to the successes and challenges the group shared along the way. I would thoroughly recommend the course and have seen benefits with even the smallest of changes. (Jane)
