About me
About Me
Hi, I’m Karen — a Registered Nutritional Therapist, with 9 years experience, specialising in gut and metabolic health.
How I Can Help
I support people who feel tired, foggy, bloated, or simply not themselves.
You might be experiencing:
- Energy dips, sugar cravings, or feeling shaky or irritable if you miss meals
- A “sensitive” gut or ongoing digestive discomfort
- Bloating, reflux, gas, irregular bowel movements
- Weight gain that feels difficult to shift
- Feeling sluggish, heavy, or out of balance
- Being told you have raised cholesterol or fatty liver changes
- Side effects of weight loss medications
Many of my clients have been told everything is “normal,” yet they don’t feel well.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and there is usually more we can explore.
My Approach
I take a functional medicine approach, looking at how your digestion, metabolism, hormones, stress levels, and daily habits all interact.
Rather than focusing on symptoms in isolation, we explore why your body may be struggling — and what it needs to function better.
Where appropriate, I can offer functional and nutrigenomic testing to give deeper insight into areas such as:
- blood sugar regulation
- liver function
- hormone balance
- energy production
What It’s Like to Work With Me
My aim is to make nutrition feel manageable — not overwhelming.
You can expect:
- Clear, practical guidance
- Small, achievable steps
- Support and accountability along the way
Next Step
If you’d like to feel more energised, clear-headed, and back in control of your health, you’re welcome to book a free discovery call.
It’s a relaxed, no-pressure conversation to see whether I’m the right fit for you.

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.

Consultation Fees
I offer a range of Health Programmes which vary by length and are designed to give the best chance of resolving your health issues. Prices start from £147.00
Please contact me to arrange a FREE Discovery Call to discuss how I can help with your health concerns and which Programme would be most suitable for you.
Consultations focus on addressing the root cause of your health issues and not just covering up the symptoms.
During consultations we will:
- Discuss your main health aims
- Discuss your current health concerns and health history
- Consider your dietary intake and lifestyle
- Agree on an action plan that is personalised to meet your needs
- Agree tools and resources to support your aims
In further consultations, we will review progress, make any necessary adjustments to the plan and continue the search for underlying causes.
Consultation fees include research as appropriate, preparation of a personalised action plan and coaching and support between consultations.
I have a "food first" approach. However, there are times when nutritional supplements are helpful/necessary to make progress and recommendations will be made where appropriate.
