The foundations of my practice lay in treating a person holistically; I treat you as the whole person you are. Your long-term mental and physical health is my top priority. I care deeply about who you are, how you like to live your life and what your values are. 

I ensure these aspects of you are respected whilst we work on your health.

 

During one to one sessions, your treatment plan is built. We do this together. This helps to keep you on the right track with practical suggestions that suit you and ensures I am listening to you clearly every step of the way. These days, we are bombarded with confusing and often conflicting messages on nutrition. It is exhausting and damaging. Recognising that we are all individuals and a one-size-fits-all-approach is often destructive to both our physical and mental health is crucial. In addition, eating in a healthy way should not be a struggle, nor should it be expensive. In working with me, we protect you from these challenges and more. You will leave our work with a deep confidence in knowing what you need to thrive in terms of nutrition and lifestyle.

 

My Nutrition Philosophy:

 

I am a proud supporter of a whole foods diet. This means that I believe that foods in their most natural states are the building blocks of our health, they are what our body recognises most and when we know how to cook, they are cheaper and better for the environment too. I can also provide guidance on cooking and recipes if you require. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel; research continues to show us that the healthiest people consume mostly whole foods while practising positive eating behaviours. My job is to help you organise your lifestyle and help you get to a place where you consistently consume the best foods for your body in an easy and enjoyable way. I am also a strong believer in the 90:10 rule: food is not just here to physiologically nourish us, it is also here to provide great pleasure: When we eat delicious, nourishing whole foods most of the time, our bodies are strong enough to thoroughly enjoy a treat: a slice of cake is not the enemy. Fear mongering, fanatical diet plans which call for the complete elimination of entire food groups or meal components (such as sugar) have no place in a healthy eating mindset. Let me show you how to get the balance right for you.

 

I am a very warm, positive and inspired practitioner with 15 years of experience. My promise is to provide you with a calm, friendly and absolutely non-judgemental environment to face your health challenges and make sustainable changes that will bring you happiness and health.
