About me
About me
I am a wife, mother of four young children and a qualified naturopathic nutritional therapist & health coach. My passion is helping others overcome their health and lifestyle challenges and supporting them through their own unique journey towards wholeness. I work with busy, stressed & tired parents who want to invest in their own wellbeing and create a healthier family life but don’t know where to start.
My Approach
I understand that changing your eating and lifestyle habits is not an easy process. There is no quick fix. It takes small, manageable steps as well as time to integrate new ways, change thought patterns and reach your goals. My approach is therefore based on a step-by-step programme, avoiding feeling overwhelmed and building a strong foundation that will last for life. I use the Naturopathic Nutritional principles and create personalised, unique plans for each client with care and understanding. I firmly believe that we were created to prosper and flourish in spirit, soul, and body.
I can help you regain your spark and together we can work towards your goals.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained as a Nutritional Therapist at The College of Naturopathic Medicine (London) where I gained 200hours practical experience and started my own private practice May 2021. I mainly work online, however do see clients in-person if within easy driving distance.
I am also a member of BANT and CNHC.
Member organisations
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including massage, aromatherapy and nutrition.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
The British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy is the professional body for Nutritional Therapists.
There are different BANT membership classes, including Full Member, Fellow Member and Student Member.
All BANT practitioners must have met the required standards of training, be fully insured and adhere to the BANT Code of Ethics and Practice.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

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.

TESTIMONIALS
“I was feeling exhausted all the time so working with Ricarda over the last few months has not only helped me regain energy but get rid of the brain fog I was having and she helped me identify foods that might be causing a problem or to see if I had any intolerances. Once she put me on the right supplement and food plan, I could feel the difference within two days. If you are struggling with fatigue or even just trying to figure out a healthy eating plan, do not hesitate to contact Ricarda. She is amazing and will most definitely help support to your body.” R.P. - London

“I completed a 12 week program with Ricarda and made a full recovery after struggling with symptoms for 6 months! Based on her review of my eating habits and food choices, she suggested several useful supplements and also requested blood tests from my GP. This was a tremendous help in my journey to full recovery from stomach pain and a sensitive gut that was prone to bloating. Sometimes lifestyle changes and ultimately a resolute faith in God as our healer, is the last resort but in my case the only one that worked! Ricarda has a holistic approach and went far beyond my expectations in creating written food and supplement plans, recipes and even exercises. I can highly recommend her to anyone.” J.B. - London
