About me
Hi, I'm Karen, a Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. I specialise in helping people improve their mental and physical health through personalised advice and coaching in diet and lifestyle changes. My focus areas include fatigue, brain health, gut issues, and skin health.
With a functional medicine approach, I aim to identify the root cause of health issues rather than just addressing symptoms. I can guide you in improving your diet, recommend nutritional supplements, and help you organise appropriate functional tests, including genetic testing. I also offer coaching to keep you motivated as you make these changes.
If you're overwhelmed by conflicting health information, I can help cut through the noise and provide clear guidance. I support you in "joining the dots" to understand the complexity of the body and how everything is interconnected. This approach empowers you to take back control of your health.
I work with individuals of all ages and also conduct talks and workshops for community groups, charities, and businesses. If you'd like to learn more about my programs or discuss how I can help you, contact me for a FREE discovery call. Let's work together to find a path to better health and well-being.

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.

Additional information
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 £79.00
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.
