What does nutrition mean to me?
I love good wholesome food but I don’t claim to have the ‘perfect diet’. I still enjoy the occasional glass of wine or coffee and cake with friends. And if I go out to a restaurant I don't choose my meals according to the calorie-count! For me, great nutrition is all about enjoying ‘real’, healthy and delicious foods.
Healthy eating does not have to be complicated and difficult. That is where I can help by offering the knowledge and motivational tools to get your health back on track.
​
As a busy working mum, I certainly know how it feels to be spinning lots of plates and understand the difficulty of adhering to healthy eating when faced with lack of time and exhaustion from a long day at work.
​
Following on from a BSc degree in Psychology, my professional career has been rooted in education both in the UK and overseas. I am passionate about supporting the physical and emotional health of both children and adults.
​
My interest in nutrition and desire to further my knowledge in this area stemmed from my personal experience of trying to support and manage a chronic health condition.
​
This interest then led me to study nutrition to a professional level. I gained my qualification in Nutritional Therapy from the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM). This 3-year CNM Diploma in Nutritional Therapy course is rooted in evidence-based research and 200 hours of clinical experience, differentiating it from other UK courses.
