What To Expect In Your First Session & Consultation Options:
I start with an initial consultation, during which time we will discuss your health history and the symptoms you are experiencing. I will also analyse your current diet and lifestyle. From here I create a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan which meets your health goals. Additional functional diagnostic testing and supplemental support may be recommended based on your symptoms.
I also offer individual nutrition consultations in addition to more bespoke and comprehensive nutrition programmes.
Initial Comprehensive Consultation | 60 minutes | £125
This is the starting point for all clients. During this consultation we will take a deep dive into your current health status, covering digestive health, hormone health, stress, energy levels, mental health, sleep, toxic exposure, eating habits and lifestyle. We will then create a personalised plan based on your health goals for you to get started on.
Follow-up Consultations | £70 - £90
Follow-up appointments are recommended 2-4 weeks after the initial consultation. During this time we will review any changes to your symptoms and make the appropriate adjustments to your health plan. Follow-ups help provide an extra level of support and accountability to keep you on track. Amendments to your initial reports are included in the cost.
Location: Online / Eglinton Wellness Centre, Derry.
All consultations can be delivered through an online platform as this gives you the flexibility to attend from anywhere. For clients based in Derry or close by in-person appointments can be arranged.
Nutrition Programmes
I understand the need to provide constant coaching support for my clients as they often have busy lifestyles and appreciate having someone to be accountable to. Because of this I generally recommend programmes to achieve the best results as it allows time for biochemical and habitual changes.
Our programme range from 4 weeks to 16 weeks and I will advise on the most suitable programme to meet your health goals.
For further information on programmes please visit my website: https://www.renuanutrition.com/services
I always recommend you take advantage of our complimentary health assessment phone call. This is a no obligations call. We simply discuss your health goals and symptoms. If appropriate to work together I will suggest a next step for you.

Genetic Testing
Nutrigenetics is the practice of matching your nutritional needs to your unique genetic profile. Each of us has variations in our genetic code that can affect us on a nutritional and performance level. This could range from impaired detoxification to sub-optimal recovery from workouts. By personalising your micro-nutrient intake will enable you to optimise your health and perform at your best.
We offer genetic testing for:
- Skin health - histamine intolerance and detoxification pathways.
- Mental Health - nervous system and methylation reports.
- Weight Loss - the nutrient core report.
- DNA diet - Genetic testing can improve weight management and weight loss strategies by allowing you to be more targeted in your nutrition approach.
- DNA Resilience - This test is designed to look at genes most associated with resilience to help you cope better under stress, and physically or emotionally demanding situations.

Personal Journey
My personal journey with health is one that is always ongoing as different years bring new challenges in life. I first found the value in nutrition when I experienced my own journey with gut distress, food intolerances and adult skin issues whilst at university. When studying I gradually learnt what worked and what didn’t work for my body and became able to manage these symptoms through lifestyle changes. In more recent years I have had challenges with mould illness, SIBO and stress, which have brought with them new symptoms and more learning of how to nourish my body. Once again I’ve had to adjust my lifestyle to support these conditions and crave out new ways to improve my health. I understand the challenges that ill health can bring and the ups and downs on the road to improvement. I aim to always takes an empathetic approach with clients and I’m committed to providing the necessary support, patience and encouragement until the end goal is reached.

I look forward to hearing from you.
