About me
Hi, I’m Ruth a registered nutritional therapist, and I’ve been doing this work since I qualified back in 2009. Over the years, I’ve specialised in weight management and gut health—two areas I’m really passionate about. Before focusing on nutrition, I spent many years working as a nursing sister in the NHS. That experience as a registered nurse gave me a solid foundation of knowledge and a deep understanding of health, which I now bring into my work as a nutritional therapist.
For me, the most rewarding part of my role is seeing how much of a difference targeted, personalised nutrition can make—not just to someone’s health, but to their whole outlook on life. I love being able to help people feel better, and it’s a privilege to be part of someone’s journey towards better health.
I’m not here to overhaul your life overnight or push you into making changes you’re not ready for. Instead, I aim to help you understand how adjusting what you eat can support your health goals. Together, we’ll take things step by step, making realistic changes that feel achievable. I know first-hand how challenging it can be to change long-standing habits, so I focus on making the process as supportive and practical as possible.
The way I work is rooted in the functional medicine model. That means I try to dig a little deeper to understand the root causes of any health concerns. Food is such a key part of this approach, and I’m constantly amazed by how even small, thoughtful changes can lead to big improvements. I like to explain things in a way that makes sense, so you can feel informed and motivated to take those next steps. Sometimes, I’ll recommend functional tests to help pinpoint what’s going on, and I work with trusted laboratories to make sure I’m giving you the best advice.
Why I’m So Passionate About Weight Management
I get it. Losing weight—and keeping it off—can feel like an impossible task. Did you know that around 70% of successful diets end up with the weight regained within months? Sometimes even more. I’ve been there myself, struggling with the endless cycle of frustration and low self-esteem, wondering, What’s the point? I’ve tried everything, and nothing works.
But things changed when I started to truly understand the science behind weight management. It’s not just about “eating less and moving more”—it’s about understanding your body, your habits, and your relationship with food. That’s what led me to create my Weight Loss in Action programme.
This isn’t about quick fixes or fad diets. It’s about finding what works for you. Through both one-to-one and group sessions, I share everything I’ve learned over the years, helping people make lasting changes in a way that feels manageable and sustainable.
What You’ll Discover with Me
When you work with me, you’ll learn:
How to find the foods that nourish your body—and still enjoy treats.
Ways to recognise and untangle learned behaviours that keep you stuck in the cycle of weight regain.
A proven approach to achieving lasting weight loss, so you can feel healthier and happier.
This isn’t just about weight—it’s about finding freedom and confidence in your own skin. It’s about learning to care for yourself in a way that lasts. I won’t pretend it’s always easy, but I’ll be there with you, helping you develop the tools and strategies that will carry you through for the long term.
Let’s Get Started
If my story resonates with you, and you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re looking for individual support or prefer the camaraderie of a group, we can work together to create real, lasting change.
Your journey starts here, and I’d be honoured to walk it with you.
