About me
Hi, my name is Julie and I'm a Registered Nutritionist (mBANT, CNHC), and Health & Wellbeing Coach.
I have helped a large number of people improve their health and wellbeing and am truly passionate about the power of diet and lifestyle. Through supporting clients to make small measurable changes I have helped clients reduce pain and discomfort, reduce markers of ill-health, improve their energy levels, lose weight, and improve wellbeing.
Nutrition and lifestyle consultations take into account your medical history, your symptoms, your biochemical profile, and underlying imbalances. They also takes into consideration your activity levels, stress levels, and mindset for a real "health and lifestyle mot".
I have my own story which I have overcome through nutritional therapy, diet and lifestyle changes, which means I understand what you are going through and can lend a supportive, encouraging hand. I understand and have experience with the struggles and barriers that can make it difficult making changes and sticking to them.
I focus my practice on metabolic health conditions including cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, cholesterol, glucose dis-regulation and weight management. I also see clients to address hormone imbalances, an under active thyroid, autoimmunity and inflammatory conditions, as well as clients struggling with poor mental health.
I am also a qualified Personal Trainer and have qualifications and experience in exercise prescription and coaching, and now compliment my nutrition practice with functional movement coaching to help clients incorporate movement and activity into their lives for better health, mobility and stress management.
I also have experience teaching techniques such as mindfulness, meditation and improving mindset.
Regular seminars, webinars and CPD events ensures up to date recommendations and high standards in the evidenced based practice of nutrition and lifestyle medicine.

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.
