About
I am a BANT registered Nutritional Therapist and run an online clinic, Empowered Nutrition.
As an experienced practitioner, I can work with you to uncover what is going on in your body that is leading to you feeling unwell. I understand the overwhelm and confusion that can come with chronic health issues, and so my approach is always non-judgemental and compassionate. Working with me, you will feel supported in making small yet powerful step by step nutrition and lifestyle changes that have the potential to transform your health.
I work with you as a whole person rather than seeing you as your digestive problems! Reflux or other digestive issues may be having a huge impact on how you live your life, but they may also be affecting your food choices and how well you absorb nutrients, which can have a knock-on effect on other areas of your health. Together, we can work holistically to restore better health.
Although I help men and women with a range of health concerns, a main focus is on supporting women who have had a diagnosis of breast cancer. As a breast cancer survivor, I bring my clinical and lived experience as well further study to my practice. I want every woman I work with to feel empowered in the knowledge that she is taking evidence-based approaches to supporting her health using diet and lifestyle.
I have completed post-qualification training in oncology nutrition, I am a member of the British Society for Integrative Oncology and a certified DNAlife practitioner. I proved nutrition advice for the Get Me Back community, a membership providing support with fitness, restoration and nutrition for women after a cancer diagnosis.
You are very welcome to book a free no obligation phone call with me so that you can decide if I am the right practitioner to help you reach your goals.
