My interest in nutrition and wellbeing began in my early twenties, when I first noticed how differently certain foods could make me feel. By my early thirties, I was experiencing fatigue, low mood, inflamed skin, migraines and difficult premenstrual symptoms. Wanting to understand what might be contributing to the way I felt led me to explore the relationship between food, lifestyle and health more deeply.

What began as a personal search for answers developed into a lasting interest in holistic wellbeing and a desire to support others. I trained as a Nutritional Therapist with the College of Naturopathic Medicine, qualifying in 2017, and later completed the BSc (Hons) Nutritional Therapy Advanced Standing Top-Up Degree with the Institute for Optimum Nutrition and the University of Portsmouth.

I have also completed a Foundation Degree in Zen Shiatsu and yoga teacher training. These broadened my understanding of Eastern approaches to wellbeing, including the relationship between the body and mind and the role of movement, breath and balance. Together, my qualifications allow me to combine this holistic perspective with the evidence-based foundations of nutritional therapy.

Now in my forties, I feel more informed about my health and better able to recognise and respond to what my body needs than ever before. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; every person brings their own experiences, health history, lifestyle and needs.

As a BANT and CNHC registered Nutritional Therapist, I offer one-to-one support, talks and workshops, with particular interests in women’s health, hormonal wellbeing and gut health. My aim is to make nutrition and health feel clearer, more relevant and achievable within everyday life.
