I studied and graduated from the accredited College of Naturopathic Medicine in London with a Diploma in Nutritional Therapy. During my training I undertook over 200 hours of clinical observation.

I am an active member of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT), the professional body for practitioners, promoting high standards of practice and integrity in the profession. I am also regulated by the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). Both organisations require the very highest standards in training and professional development from their members, which means I am constantly updating my knowledge. In an ever changing nutrition world this means I am able to give the very best advice to my clients.

Finally, these specific professional accreditations also mean that I am eligible for comprehensive insurance via the specialist company, Balens Ltd, for added peace of mind.

Prior to training as a nutritional therapist, I studied Food Science and spent over 15 years working in the food industry, in managerial roles in areas such as research & development, supply chain control, product quality and procurement. I worked with government enforcement agencies, global food manufacturers, farming groups, accreditation bodies and grocery retailers, all the while gaining considerable insider knowledge on the politics and production of the food we eat!

Even with my knowledge I still struggled to lose weight after my third child was born, you name it, I tried it! So I embarked on the Metabolic Balance programme supported by a fellow NT and MB coach. I was so blown away by the results that in 2022 I trained as a Metabolic Balance coach in order to support my clients on a similar journey. Click below for more details.

Alongside seeing clients I also work as a student clinic tutor at the nutrition training college, The Institute for Optimum Nutrition. This is such a rewarding job, supporting students in developing their clinical skills.

I'm a mum to 3 children, love the outdoors, trying new recipes and cats of all sizes and colours!
