About me
Perhaps you've reached a point where food feels far more complicated than it should.
You've spent years trying to eat "properly", promising yourself you'll start again on Monday, following plans that worked for a while, then wondering why you always seem to end up back where you started.
Perhaps you've started to believe you're the problem.
You're not.
The truth is, no one has ever helped you understand what's really driving your eating.
Because your relationship with food isn't shaped by knowledge alone. It's influenced by your habits, emotions, life experiences, changing hormones, stress, health and the beliefs you've built over years of dieting. Until those pieces start to make sense, it can feel as though you're constantly fighting yourself.
That's where I come in.
As a Registered Nutritional Therapist, I help you understand not just what to eat but also what's really driving your eating, whether that's emotional eating, binge eating, years of restrictive dieting, or simply feeling as though your body has become unfamiliar during midlife.
Together, we'll look beyond calories, rules and food plans to understand how your body, your habits and your relationship with food interact. We'll work out what's getting in the way, support your health where it's needed, and build an approach that fits your life rather than expecting your life to fit another diet.
My goal isn't to help you become "perfect" at eating.
It's to help food take up less space in your mind, so you can trust yourself again, feel more in control, and finally stop starting over.
“Normally, when I go away, I am really critical of what I eat and drink. This weekend, though, I didn’t judge what I ate or drank and just enjoyed myself… I feel really proud of myself.”

Ways to Work With Me
Midlife Health & Nutrition Assessment (90 minutes) - £125
In this one-off session, we take a proper look at your overall health and nutrition, rather than piecing everything together in isolation.
We explore your symptoms, health history and day-to-day habits to understand how they may be connecting because it’s usually the combination of factors, not a single issue, that shapes how you feel.
You’ll leave with:
• A clearer understanding of what may be contributing to eating habits
• A personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan that feels realistic for your life
• Practical next steps you can start using straight away, without overcomplicating things
Many clients say the biggest shift is not just having a plan but finally understanding what’s been driving how they’ve been feeling for so long and what actually needs attention first.
6-session Personalised Support Programme
This structured programme provides ongoing support and includes:
• A comprehensive initial consultation
• Four follow-up sessions
• Personalised, written nutrition plans
• Supporting resources
• Access to your own secure client portal
• Messaging support between sessions
This programme allows us to build lasting, sustainable change over time, rather than relying on short-term fixes.
Functional Testing
Where appropriate, I offer functional testing to give deeper insight into areas such as nutrient status, gut health and hormonal patterns.
These tests don’t diagnose conditions, but they can help highlight where your body may need more support, allowing for a more targeted and personalised approach.

Who I Work With
I primarily support women who feel caught between wanting to lose weight and feeling exhausted by years of dieting, rules and second-guessing themselves around food.
Many are dealing with unwanted weight changes, low or inconsistent energy, gut health issues, and a constant background noise around food - thinking about it, worrying about it, or feeling like they’re getting it “wrong.”
"This is definitely a lady to go to for all this, she’s a star and will cut through all the confusion". ZE
If you’re ready to step away from the vicious cycle of food that has eroded your confidence in your ability to make decisions around food and take a calmer, more practical approach to your health, you can book a call to see whether this feels like the right fit.
