My Nutritional Therapy practice


My aim is to help you achieve your full potential by designing a nutritional programme that is specifically tailored to your needs, which will enhance your well-being and put you on the road to improved health.
This will be negotiated with you to ensure that it is realistic and can fit into your lifestyle, taking into consideration the time you have available, and what you do and don't enjoy eating.

Firstly I will send you a questionnaire and food diary to complete. After this is returned to me, I will make an assessment of your current diet and health, and how these interact. I will develop a programme, making the minimum changes necessary, to support your health needs and promote wellbeing. At our initial consultation, this programme will be discussed in order to ensure it suits your lifestyle, and adapted as necessary. Follow up consultations are used to assess progress towards your health improvement goals and make any adaptations necessary to achieve these.

What is Nutritional Therapy?

Good nutrition is the foundation of good health.

Nutritional therapy uses the latest scientific research on nutrients to help you adapt your diet and lifestyle in order to restore and maintain good health.

Nutritional Therapy focuses on identifying and alleviating underlying causes which are leading to adverse symptoms. It can be of help in a wide range of health conditions and can play a role in the prevention of disease and in optimising health and well-being by focusing on individualised diet and lifestyle advice.

Nutrition is coming to the fore as a major modifiable determinant of chronic disease, with scientific evidence increasingly supporting the view that alterations in diet have strong effects, both positive and negative, on health throughout life. Most importantly, dietary adjustments may not only influence present health, but may determine whether or not an individual will develop such diseases as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes much later in life.”
