About me
With over 25 years of experience in healthcare, I am a BANT and CNHC-registered Nutritional Therapist and qualified Health Coach, dedicated to helping individuals improve their health through evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle strategies.
I specialise in hypertension, joint health, and upper digestive health, supporting clients with personalised nutrition plans tailored to their unique needs. My background in Nursing allows me to take a well-rounded, practical approach to care, ensuring that recommendations are both effective and achievable.
Since qualifying as a Nutritional Therapist in 2021, I have supported clients with various health concerns. Before moving into nutritional therapy, I worked in NHS and private hospitals and health promotion clinics, gaining extensive clinical experience that informs my practice today.
My Specialties
I provide nutrition and lifestyle support for:
- Hypertension – Supporting heart health and cardiovascular regulation through targeted nutrition
- Joint Health – Managing symptoms of joint pain and inflammatory conditions
- Upper Digestive Health – Supporting concerns such as acid reflux (GERD), gastritis, bloating, and microbiome imbalances
If you are experiencing persistent symptoms or want to optimise your health, I offer a complimentary call to explore how I can help.
My Approach
I take a functional medicine approach, looking beyond symptoms to understand potential root causes. My method involves:
- Assessing your health history and lifestyle factors
- Creating a tailored nutrition and lifestyle plan
- Recommending supplements if needed
- Liaising with GPs or other healthcare professionals when appropriate
- Providing practical tools, recipes, and resources
What to Expect
Your personalised programme includes:
- A 60-minute in-depth consultation (online or in-person)
- Recommendations for functional testing (where clinically appropriate)
- Personalised dietary and lifestyle advice
- Practical action steps you can start straight away
- Follow-up consultations for ongoing support
Some clients successfully claim private health insurance for consultations. Insurers such as Westfield Health, Health Shield, and Elect recognise CNHC and BANT members, though I advise checking with your provider for coverage details.
Your health journey is unique, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Book a complimentary call today to discuss your needs.

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.
