About me
You are managing everything, but it can feel as though work gets the best of you and there is very little left afterwards. Work, family, the list that never quite clears, and looking after yourself keeps slipping further down it.
You may already know plenty about healthy eating. You may have bought supplements, tried eating better or worked on your sleep, but you're still not sure what is relevant to you or where it makes sense to focus.
I'm Sian, a BANT and CNHC registered nutritional therapist based in Birmingham, working with women across the UK online. I work mainly with busy professional women who want personalised nutrition support that fits around a demanding working life.
Looking at the whole picture
Nutrition doesn't happen separately from the rest of your life.
Long working days, rushed or missed meals, eating lunch at your desk, poor sleep, stress, hormonal changes and limited time to switch off can all be part of the picture. Health history, digestive symptoms, medications and other individual factors may also need to be considered.
That's why I don't start with a generic diet or assume I already know what you need.
We'll look at your health history, current symptoms, nutrition, sleep, routines and the pressures you're managing. From there, we can identify your priorities and decide what is realistic to work on.
My approach is practical. You won't be given an ideal routine that bears no resemblance to your working week, or a long list of things to change at once.
We'll focus on small, evidence-informed nutrition and lifestyle changes that can work alongside your job, family and everything else you're managing. I'll explain what we're focusing on and why, so you're involved in the decisions and have something you can adapt as life changes.
If something comes up that is outside my scope of practice, I'll tell you and, where possible, point you towards a practitioner or service better suited to what you need.
What happens before we start
Before your first session, you'll complete a detailed health questionnaire and a short food and lifestyle diary. I review these before we meet so that our time together can focus on you rather than gathering basic information.
We'll talk through your health history, current concerns, goals, what a typical day looks like and what you're currently managing. This helps us decide where it makes sense to focus first, without expecting you to change everything at once.
Services
Energy Review
A focused starting point if you want to take a closer look at your nutrition, routines and lifestyle and understand where it may be useful to make changes.
You'll have a 60-minute consultation where we’ll look at your health, nutrition and daily routines, identify what is most useful to focus on, and build a practical plan around 2–3 priorities.
This may suit you if you want personalised professional input and a clear way forward, without committing to longer-term support.
The Energy Foundation
A 12-week 1:1 programme if you would benefit from more ongoing support to put changes into practice.
Across six sessions, we'll work through your individual priorities and make practical changes to your nutrition and other relevant areas such as sleep, routines and recovery. We'll review what's working, what hasn't been manageable and adjust your plan as we go.
This may suit you if there are several areas to work through or you would benefit from more support while making changes.
Supplement guidance is included where appropriate. Payment plans are available.

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.
