About me
I am a fully qualified pharmacist with an understanding of many disease states, allopathic medicine, complementary therapies and homeopathic medicines.
I enjoy working with clients to educate them about how nutrition and food influences their health and together we create a programme which is both realistic and achievable. This enables clients to take control and manage their own health in a way which is sustainable and natural.
As a pharmacist, I also help clients who seek alternatives to conventional medicine, or, who seek a qualified approach to taking conventional and homeopathic, herbal or vitamin supplements.
I also lecture in nutrition, teaching at London's prestigious CNM. I believe education is a right, rather than privilege and to that end also work for a charity Family Mosaic, teaching the educationally unfortunate on how to better mange their health and diet, with a view to better health and employment. To help educate those interested in food, I work alongside trained Chefs at Leith's School of Food and Wine, teaching nutrition to students in a kitchen setting. This unique background in pharmacy, education, nutrition and cooking allows me to understand science, and how best to put this into a practical workable solution.

Consultation Process
The initial consultation lasts for 60 minutes during which a full history is discussed, and a nutrition optimization plan is agreed.
Follow-up consultations are normally conducted 3-4 weeks later to discuss progress and to fine-tune the plan as required.
Sometimes Functional testing is required e.g. stool testing, adrenal spit testing etc.
NB: Nutritional Therapy is not a replacement to conventional medicine and on occasion, a referral to your GP may be recommended.
