About me

Hi, I’m Sara, founder of Nourished with Intuition. I’m really glad you’re here.

I’m an AfN Registered Nutritionist, Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, and a mum. My work centres on supporting parents, children and families as a whole, recognising that feeding doesn’t happen in isolation but within the wider family dynamic.

I offer compassionate, weight-inclusive, evidence-based nutrition support grounded in intuitive eating and responsive feeding. My approach moves away from diets and weight-focused thinking, and is collaborative, tailored to you, and able to complement other healthcare support.

I work with:

  • pregnant individuals
  • parents navigating weaning and early feeding
  • fussy or selective eating
  • feeding dynamics within the family
  • those stuck in cycles of dieting, weight cycling, and food rules
  • anyone experiencing shame, or stress around food and eating
  • adults looking to rebuild trust with food

I draw on frameworks such as Ellyn Satter’s Division of Responsibility and baby-led weaning approaches to support feeding in a way that respects both structure and autonomy.

My work is supportive and educational in nature. I aim to help you move away from pressure, rigidity, and food-related stress, and towards a more flexible, confident, and compassionate way of feeding yourself or your child.

Trust over control sits at the core of my approach, supporting both parents and children to stay connected to their internal cues over time.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Nutritionist's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Nutritionist to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
