About

Passionate about improving health through sustainable and simple diet and lifestyle changes. Supporting a range of health issues with a food first approach.

Lorraine is a BANT registered Nutritional Therapist following completion of four years of training at the renowned Institute of Optimum Nutrition.

Lorraine battled with weight issues for many years and focussed on food quantity rather than quality.

Following the birth of her daughter she embarked on a mission to better educate herself which culminated in her decision to study nutrition.

Lorraine’s passion lies in supporting her clients with their digestive issues which has been the driver behind her gaining her reflux accreditation with a desire to continue to successfully support patients with acid reflux as effectively as she can.

She has a wide range of experience in supporting clients with IBS and digestive symptoms. She also works with those with cholesterol and blood sugar issues as well as supporting clients with the impacts medication can have on their vitamin and mineral levels.

She loves being a health detective and guiding people to take back control of their own health.

Testimonials

I have had an 11-year history of acid reflux, accompanied by nausea and bowel changes. My GP has referred me on 4 occasions for hospital explorations (3 endoscopies and a colonoscopy), but these examinations indicated nothing abnormal. I have taken prescribed medication on and off for many years, but this actually made me feel worse. In the last 6 months i have had 4 consultations with Lorraine. From the start I found her to be very approachable, but also professional in her manner. I think this is particularly important when discussing symptoms which are quite frankly embarrassing. Lorraine is clearly very knowledgeable about her subject and conveys a great deal of information and advice during sessions. Usefully this information is summarised in written form and handed over at the end of sessions. Aside from comprehensive dietary and lifestyle changes, Lorraine also made recommendations for various supplements, although at no point was i pressured into taking these. In between sessions i have been able to contact Lorraine via text and email, and she has always responded very swiftly. Following my 4 sessions, i continue to experience symptoms of acid reflux, but these have gone from being highly debilitating to virtually negligible. I have not experienced any further nausea or bowel issues for the last 2 months. I have not taken any medication at all in the last 6 months and feel in a much stronger position to tackle any future flare ups. All in all, this has been a very positive experience for me, and would recommend anyone with dietary issues to give Lorraine a try. However, i would advise that you need to be completely honest with yourself and with Lorraine about your eating habits and be willing to embrace dietary and lifestyle changes.
