About me

About Me

Struggling with your health can feel frustrating, exhausting, and even isolating - I know because I’ve been there. My own personal health journey led me to become a nutritional therapist, and now I’m passionate about helping others take control of their well-being.

I specialise in gut health, weight loss, blood sugar imbalances, skin health, and energy levels. Using a science-backed, holistic approach, I help clients uncover the root causes of their symptoms and create personalised nutrition and lifestyle plans that deliver real, lasting results. I also offer a range of functional tests for digestive health, intolerances, allergies, and more, giving us valuable insights to tailor your plan effectively.

My Approach

Making lasting health changes isn’t about quick fixes - it’s about small, manageable steps that fit into your lifestyle. That’s why I guide my clients through a step-by-step process designed to avoid overwhelm while building a strong foundation for lifelong wellness.

I take a holistic approach that looks at nutrition, lifestyle, mindset, and targeted supplements, ensuring each plan is personalised to your unique needs. More than just improving symptoms, my goal is to help you thrive - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Are you ready to feel energised, balanced, and in control of your health again? Let’s work together to make it happen. Book a free discovery call today!

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.

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.

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
