About me
I have been nutritional therapist for over 20 years and I am on a particular mission to improve the health of our teenagers.
As a mum of 3 teens, I understand that it often tricky to encourage them to eat the right things. I have learnt that when it comes to nutrition, we are absolutely not looking for perfection, but we are looking to weave in a few good consistent habits. This is where I come in.
I can coach your teenager through simple dietary and lifestyle changes in a non-judgemental environment to improve and support their long-term health. In the process I will educate them for life. I also feel strongly that all teens should learn basic cookery skills.
As an amateur athlete and with children who regularly compete in sporting events, I see first-hand how bad nutrition can be - even those who on the outside look 'healthy'. I want to educate athletes, parents, sports teams and coaches and demonstrate that it can be easy to eat well for optimum physical and mental performance.
I am a registered nutritional therapist and an expert in teen nutrition. I studied at The Institute for Optimum Nutrition and have a degree in Biochemistry with Chemistry. I am therefore trained to read the actual science and translate it into achievable nutritional changes. As a qualified cook I can advise on simple, balanced meals that don’t take hours to make.
As a member of BANT (British Association of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) and CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council), I am bound by a strict code of ethics and conduct. I regularly attend seminars and lectures to enhance and keep my knowledge up to date.

My Philosophy
Good nutrition does not have to be complicated. As part of my programmes I provide simple, practical, evidence based dietary and lifestyle changes. Recipes, meal suggestions and menu planning are often included.
