About me
Fed up with bloating, digestive discomfort, unexplained weight changes, low energy - or feeling like nothing you’ve tried has worked?
HOW CAN I ASSIST YOU?
I help people explore the possible root causes of persistent symptoms and understand how food and lifestyle factors may be affecting their health. We then work together to turn those insights into a realistic, personalised plan that fits into everyday life — helping them feel better, with greater energy and confidence in their health.
I enjoy supporting and educating my clients so they understand their own bodies.
WHY GUT HEALTH?
I developed a particular interest in gut health because our digestive system is connected to so many aspects of our wellbeing. Digestive imbalances may cause symptoms such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, reflux or changes in bowel habits — but gut health can also be associated with areas such as energy, mood, immunity and overall wellbeing.
Rather than looking at a digestive symptom in isolation, I consider the wider picture: your health history, eating patterns, lifestyle, sleep, stress and other factors that may be influencing how you feel. Where appropriate, I may recommend functional laboratory testing (e.g. stool testing) to help investigate possible underlying factors — testing is only considered when the results are likely to provide useful information and influence your personalised plan.
I trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (DipION) and work with clients online across the UK.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified and registered Nutritional Therapist and member of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
Member organisations
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including massage, aromatherapy and nutrition. In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers. A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
The British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy is the professional body for Nutritional Therapists. There are different BANT membership classes, including Full Member, Fellow Member and Student Member. All BANT practitioners must have met the required standards of training, be fully insured and adhere to the BANT Code of Ethics and Practice.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

info 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.
