nutrition
I am the Nutritional Therapist that helped Natalie recover
from her migraines. (see page 16) I discovered my passion for
good nutrition when I finally got myself well after decades of
very poor health. I then did a degree so that I could help others
achieve their optimum health. Here are some of the most
common questions people ask when they hear what I do.

What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy offers you a personalised programme which is as unique and individual as
you are. During a consultation we take a full health history of your diet and lifestyle, and any
past illness and surgeries. In addition to this, we investigate how genetics, environment, and
other factors, such as stressful events, may be contributing to your current state of well-being.
When we have a better idea of what may be causing the body to send its cries for help by way
of symptoms, we are better equipped to deal with them. Often people manage symptoms by
masking them with medication, treatments and ointments. Whilst often useful, if you don’t
find the problem’s source it can be like playing the fairground game Whack-A-Mole. You chase
and deal with symptoms as they arise, but the ‘mole’ is likely pop up again somewhere else
with increasing frequency.
Who is it for?
Well, we all eat and drink and can probably all make improvements so in my opinion it’s for
everyone. However, more often than not I see clients who are fed up with their symptoms
whether niggling or severe and are ready to address their problems at the core. I work
alongside any current healthcare provision you have in place.
I have supported people with conditions such as (but not limited
to): anxiety & depression, IBS and digestive problems, migraine
and headaches, chronic fatigue, MS, weight management, PMS and
conditions associated with female hormone imbalance, reducing
cardiovascular disease risk, skin complaints, auto-immune and
inflammatory conditions and frequent infection.
Will you make me drink kale smoothies?
First of all I won’t make you do anything you don’t want to! Sometimes I
will introduce foods that you are not used to having, but it’s all done in a
realistic way that fits around your lifestyle, tastes and budget. If you really
don’t like something we can find alternatives to ensure your nutritional
requirements are met. After feeling the positive benefits of a new way of
eating, most clients tell me they never want to go back to their old ways.
How about you get in touch and see how personalised nutritional
changes can help you thrive and achieve your health goals?
