About me
I provide personalised nutritional therapy for busy professionals struggling with ongoing digestive discomfort, low energy and the effects of stress.
If you're eating well and trying to look after yourself but still don't feel quite right, I'll help you understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and find a practical way forward.
You're doing the right things. So why don't you feel better?
You eat pretty well. You try to make healthy choices. But in the background, you're still dealing with bloating, reflux, digestive discomfort or unpredictable digestion, perhaps alongside low energy, brain fog, poor sleep or simply not feeling quite yourself.
And when you're already juggling work, family and everyday life, trying to work out what you should, or shouldn't, be eating can feel like another thing on the list.

1:1 Personalised Nutrition Support
If you've been living with ongoing digestive symptoms for months - or even years - and you're ready to understand what may be contributing to them, 1:1 nutritional therapy gives us the time and space to look at the bigger picture.
I commonly support clients experiencing:
- Bloating and digestive discomfort
- Reflux
- Unpredictable digestion
- Low or inconsistent energy
- Brain fog and poor focus
- Poor sleep
- The effects of ongoing stress
- Confusion or stress around what to eat
Often, these things don't exist in isolation. That's why we'll look beyond individual symptoms and explore your nutrition, health history, lifestyle, stress and sleep to build a fuller picture of what's going on.
From there, I'll create personalised, evidence-based recommendations that are realistic for your life, without unnecessary restriction or making looking after your health feel like another full-time job.
Support that's tailored to you
I don't believe everyone needs exactly the same number of appointments or level of support.
Some people benefit from more regular contact while they're making changes, while others need more space between appointments to put their recommendations into practice.
Following your free call, I'll recommend the level and frequency of support I believe will be most helpful for you, so you know exactly what to expect before deciding whether you'd like to go ahead.
Focused support for reflux
If reflux is your main concern, I also offer a more focused service specifically for you.
We'll look at your symptoms, diet and lifestyle to explore factors that may be contributing to your reflux and identify practical changes that may help.
Your reflux support includes:
- An initial consultation
- Personalised nutrition and lifestyle recommendations
- A follow-up appointment to review your progress and make any necessary adjustments
Group Nutritional Therapy - £65
From time to time, I also run Eat for Energy, my small-group nutrition programme designed to help you understand how what you eat can support more consistent energy throughout the day.
It's a lighter-touch way to work with me and is ideal if your main goal is improving everyday energy rather than getting personalised support for more complex digestive symptoms.
About Me
My own experience changed the way I think about health
Over a decade ago, I was diagnosed with a common gut condition and painful hormonal disorder. I was dealing with daily bloating, unpredictable digestion, fluctuating energy and that constant wired-but-tired feeling that made it difficult to properly switch off or sleep. I felt foggy, overwhelmed and completely out of sync with myself.
At the time, I didn't realise how much my fast-paced lifestyle and the way I was eating could be contributing to how I felt. I kept pushing through and, eventually, feeling rubbish simply started to feel normal.
Working with a nutritional therapist changed that. For the first time, I began looking at the bigger picture rather than treating each symptom as something separate. Changing the way I ate and lived made a huge difference to my health - but perhaps more importantly, it helped me understand my body in a way I hadn't before.
That experience eventually led me to train as a nutritional therapist myself. Today, it shapes the way I work with my own clients: looking beyond individual symptoms, asking the right questions and helping people understand what may be going on rather than simply giving them another list of things they should or shouldn't eat.

The Health Challenges that Shaped my Work
Over a decade ago, I was diagnosed with health issues and was dealing with daily symptoms that made life feel harder than it should be - bloating, fluctuating energy, a constant wired-but-tired feeling that left me struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep. My blood sugar was all over the place, I felt foggy, overwhelmed, and completely out of sync with myself!
At the time, I didn’t realise how much my fast-paced lifestyle, stressful job and food choices were contributing to how I felt. I kept pushing through, and feeling rubbish slowly became my new normal. Traditional approaches provided little relief.
Everything changed when I started working with a nutritional therapist who helped me eat and live differently. It wasn’t just a new way of eating - it was a complete lifestyle shift, and it was absolutely worth it! Through gut healing, nervous system support, and targeted nutrition, I experienced a profound transformation in my health.
Today, I’m mostly symptom-free, positive, and living the life I was meant to live. That journey is what fuels my work now - to help others break free from digestive troubles, feel energised and confident in their daily lives.
