About us
Hi, I’m Dr Ambar
A former NHS GP, Registered Nutritional Therapist and BANT Registered Nutritionist® (mBANT, CNHC), with an MSc in Nutrition Science and Practice.
I support families (mums, dads, babies and children) with nutrition and lifestyle changes to optimise gut health, energy, sleep and mood, reduce stress, and support common childhood concerns, using a root-cause, functional medicine approach.
Training, qualifications & experience
I worked as a qualified GP for six years before deciding to step away from medicine as I knew it. During my time as a GP, my interest in nutrition and its role in health kept growing, so I studied for a Master’s degree part time while still working and looking after my young family.
Training in root-cause medicine, also known as functional medicine, completely opened my mind to new ways of supporting and optimising both mental and physical health. It gave me a deeper understanding of how the body works, its biochemical processes and pathways, and the underlying causes of symptoms that I hadn’t always been able to explore fully as a GP. Retraining showed me what a truly whole-person approach can look like, and added a new depth to the care I can offer.

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.

Further information
I’m passionate about helping people reach their best possible wellbeing, and I wholeheartedly believe everyone has it in them to get there. I offer a compassionate, no-pressure, evidence-based approach to your health and your child’s, and I work alongside your GP, health visitor and any other medical team, so you get the best of both worlds.
I believe there is so much more to health than the symptoms we notice. As well as looking for the root causes, I like to consider emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing, so I can support you holistically and not just from a medical perspective. I’m a creative person, and I love bringing this into everything I do, including the way I support you and your child.
Since retraining, I’ve also become passionate about supporting my own family’s health journey, so I understand first-hand how much small, realistic changes can make a difference.
