About me
Hi, I am a Registered Nutritional Therapist and a Metabolic Balance Practitioner. I am passionate about nutrition and lifestyle medicine and believe this is the future of healthcare. I work closely with my clients on a 1:1 basis offering a holistic journey to health and wellbeing. I have supported many people on their wellness journey and helped them feel at their best.
I do not advocate diets or short-term quick fixes. Instead, I empower people to make intelligent food choices that eventually kick-start a lifetime of healthy eating. I offer nutritionally balanced food plans and recipes that are easy to follow and tailored for you.
As a natural foodie, I love experimenting in the kitchen with wholesome ingredients and recipes. I am keen to impart my passion to help you make nutritionally balanced food choices and plate up quick, simple and tasty meals. As a busy mum to three teenage children, I understand the demands and challenges faced when juggling work and family life, and how nutrition support can prove beneficial.
I am constantly learning through research about the food we put in our body and I feel it is my purpose to share this knowledge in a friendly and informative way. I have been trained to 'connect-the-dots' to identify core imbalances and their underlying causes to improve physiological function. In addition to studying Nutritional Therapy at a Masters level, I have completed an intensive 5-day training course in London 2018 called Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice - AFMCP™. I work collaboratively with functional medicine doctors, a psychiatrist, and health coaches. We are proud to be the first multidisciplinary functional medicine clinic in the North. Being part of this health care set up allows our team to tailor a holistic assessment to meet complex health needs. We also offer in-house functional testing and phlebotomy appointments at our clinic.
I am a professional member of BANT and registered with the CNHC association. Our practice is evidence-based and we regularly attend lectures, seminars and CPD events to keep us up to date with the evolving research in this fascinating field of nutrition and lifestyle medicine.

Nutrition topics
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.
