My approach is to work closely with you to identify which areas of your health and wellbeing can be improved. We will first look for often small changes that can be easily incorporated into your current lifestyle. These small changes often have a huge impact on the way we feel.
There are four key pillars to our health: nutrition, movement, stress management and sleep.
I can work with clients either on improving one specific pillar or across all four.
When it comes to nutrition, it’s not just about cutting down on or eliminating foods from your diet but more importantly what foods you need to add for optimum health.
My core belief is that the foundation to optimum health is good gut health. By improving your gut health, you will often find overall well-being improves.
I am a qualified Nutritional Therapist and Health Coach with a specific interest in gut health.
After being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in 2004, I started a journey of self education to understand how best to manage my condition holistically. Through exploration of how diet and lifestyle impacted my condition I have been able to keep Crohn’s in remission since 2006. This fuelled my interest and passion in understanding the power of certain foods and their ability to heal the body.
A relocation with my family to Singapore in 2013 gave me an opportunity to take a break from a twenty year career in advertising, and study nutritional science. I qualified as a Nutritional Therapist in 2015. I soon felt that I needed to offer a more holistic solution to my clients’ health goals and concerns. Whilst nutrition is a critical pillar to good health, no matter how good diet is, it cannot work in isolation. In 2018, I studied with CNM to qualify as a Health Coach. This has given me the expertise to develop scientific understanding of the role of movement, stress management and sleep, alongside nutrition in relation to overall health and wellbeing.
Through my ongoing experience with clients I have witnessed how important stress reduction is in achieving not only specific health goals such as weight loss but also in achieving a sense of total wellbeing. For many breathwork is an accessible mindfulness tool. To fully understand just how powerful our breath can be and to offer my clients more guidance in this area I am currently training with The Hale Centre in Sweden to become a fully certified breath guide.
I am a member of the ANP (Association of Naturopathic Practitioners)
I live in Beaconsfield with my husband, two children and two dogs.
My interests beyond nutrition and breathwork include tennis, wine (I have a number of WSET qualifications), learning Spanish and bee keeping.
I volunteer with HomeStart supporting families with young children through challenging times.
