Nutritional support tailored to you

Nutritional therapy, a core component of functional medicine, is evidence-based nutrition that is individually tailored to support the client through dietary and lifestyle changes. The aim is to identify the root causes of illness or chronic health issues and restore balance and optimum health. Nutritional therapists hold a 3.5 year diploma plus a minimum of 200 hours of supervised clinical practice. A nutritional therapist who is a member of NTOI must meet and adhere to a code of practice set out by the organisers, they must also complete 30 CPD points a year.

A Nutritionist is not a protected term, therefore anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, for e.g. people who may be qualified in related professions such as the fitness industry. Many Nutritional therapists often call themselves nutritionists so when taking nutritional advice it is best to check their relevant qualifications. Both nutritional therapists and dieticians are regulated and comply with ongoing CPD and training.

A dietician uses the science of nutrition to devise eating plans for people with certain medical conditions. They are regulated health professionals that assess, diagnose, and treat dietary and nutritional problems, both for individuals and at a wider public health level.

The initial consultation lasts around 90 minutes. During this time, I will ask additional questions based on the health questionnaire that you will have completed prior to the consultation. This will give me a good understanding of your health concerns and health goals.

As part of the consultation, I will ask you about your diet, lifestyle, movement, sleep quality, bowel movements, stress, toxin exposure and general habits and behaviours. This information will give me a better understanding of the support you require and will allow me to create a highly personalised plan that suits your lifestyle and needs.

During this consultation, I will explain my clinical findings and explain what I feel may have led to your current health concerns. We will discuss and agree upon some initial dietary and lifestyle modifications that are suitable for your lifestyle. I may also recommend some specific supplements or laboratory testing. A manageable action plan with specific steps will then be emailed to you within 48 hours, along with some recipes, information handouts, supplement protocol and recommended testing (if appropriate).

Follow up consultations tend to be shorter and can last between 15 mins and 1 hour, depending on the complexity of the case and stage of protocol.

No, you do not have to do anything or agree to anything that you are not comfortable with.

My goal is to make sure you are fully included in all decisions and feel totally happy with the plan. I will make recommendations based upon my findings and clinical knowledge. If at any point you feel unsure or are not happy with how things are going we can reassess and discuss it.

All appointments are via zoom or by phone call.

No, there is no guarantee you will achieve your health goals. I provide an individually tailored plan that will be agreed upon together. It will be manageable and suit your own lifestyle but it is up to you to put in the work to create and maintain the change you are looking for.

I can only be the support and guide on your health journey, the work is up to you. Everyone is individual and one of the core components of nutritional therapy is that we work together and each put in the work to create success.

No, nutritional therapy is suitable for anyone looking to improve their overall health or for people with more complex health conditions.

The people who I generally work with tend to suffer from digestive issues (bloating/constipation/abdominal pain/loose and frequent stool), female hormonal issues, thyroid issues, headache, migraines, pain, inflammation, poor immune function, very low energy, help with weight loss/weight gain, lack of structure around eating, poor diet, poor sleep, anxiety, depression.

Of course, I would love to hear from you and answer any questions you may have. I'm currently on maternity leave so may not be able to respond straight away, but please do use the contact form and I'll get back to you when I can.

You can also join the waitlist if you'd like to know when I'm accepting new clients again.

The support can continue on for as long as you feel necessary. We can adjust the level of support according to your needs.

I also offer a one hour check-in for clients I’ve already worked with, who need extra support and advice to get back on track.
