Eating For Health

16/01/2026

What it’s like to work with me?

If you’re looking for quick fixes, rigid meal plans, or being told to “just eat less and move more,” I’m probably not the right fit.

Working with me is about understanding why your body is responding the way it is, and then supporting it properly.

Here’s what clients usually notice:

• We look at the whole picture - hormones, blood sugar, gut health, stress, sleep, and lifestyle

• Nutrition is practical and realistic, designed to fit around work, family, and real life

• No extremes, no food guilt, no perfection required

• Education is a big part of the process - I explain what’s happening in your body so you feel informed and empowered

• Support is calm, compassionate, and evidence-based - not overwhelming or prescriptive

I work especially well with people who feel:
* Tired of conflicting advice
* Frustrated that they’re “doing all the right things” but still not feeling well
* Ready to focus on long-term health rather than short-term fixes

Most clients tell me they feel:
• More confident around food
• Clearer about what their body actually needs
• Supported rather than judged
• Reassured that they’re not “failing” - their body just needs the right inputs

If you’re curious whether we’d be a good fit, I offer a free discovery call to talk things through and see what support would be most helpful for you.

The new food triangle from the US is finally here, and honestly, it’s refreshing.

What’s striking is that it aligns closely with what I’ve been teaching clients for years:

The new food triangle from the US is finally here, and honestly, it’s refreshing.

What’s striking is that it aligns closely with what I’ve been teaching clients for years:

• Prioritising protein
• Focusing on whole, minimally processed foods
• Reducing reliance on refined carbohydrates
• Supporting blood sugar, hormones, and metabolic health

This is a big shift away from older models that placed heavy emphasis on starchy carbohydrates and low-fat products, approaches that haven’t served many people well, particularly those struggling with fatigue, weight gain, insulin resistance, or midlife hormonal changes.

Nutrition science evolves. Guidance should too. But it takes years!

For many of my clients, this more balanced, protein-forward approach has been transformational, not just for weight, but for energy, mood, and long-term health.

If you’ve felt confused by conflicting nutrition advice, you’re not alone.
And you’re not doing anything wrong.

Sometimes, the advice just needs to catch up.

I wonder how long it will take the UK to catch up!!

Thinking about a New Year’s resolution? Start with your gut.

Because when gut health is off, everything else feels harder, energy, focus, digestion, immunity, even mood.

January often pushes us towards extremes.
But lasting change doesn’t come from restriction or “starting again”.

It comes from understanding what your body needs and supporting it properly.

As a Registered Nutritionist, I work with clients who want a calmer, more informed approach to their health, focusing on gut health, nutrition, lifestyle, stress and sleep together, not in isolation.

No fad diets.
No generic meal plans.
No judgement.

Just personalised, evidence-based support that fits real life.

If your New Year’s goal is to feel better from the inside out in 2026, I’d love to help.

27 years ago today, I was scared, elated, overwhelmed and in complete shock.

I was in hospital, spending New Year’s Eve with my tiny baby boy.

He arrived early, in a rush (which has pretty much summed him up ever since), and those first weeks were tough. SCBU, sleepless nights, constant feeding and constant pumping.

Fast forward to today, and we celebrated with family, laughter, and a birthday cake lovingly made by his sister. A far cry from that hospital ward all those years ago.

Happy birthday,

Happy New Year everyone.

Love London ❤️
Graffiti Tunnel is amazing, the London Eye, walk along The Thames, and the Strange Things tree was a highlight a weird highlight too! I’ve missed London, I must go more in 2026.

I’ve loved Christmas.

One of the things I miss about running my own business, as much as I love what I do, is having less time for the things I enjoy. For me, that’s cooking, seeing family and friends, watching movies, playing games and being fully present.

This Christmas I made a conscious decision to take my own advice.

There have been dinners with friends , a relaxed lunch with my son (so grateful he’s home for Christmas) , long dog walks with my children and a much-needed hot chocolate (thank you ) on a beautiful chilly day.

Christmas dinner took hours and hours to prepare and was eaten in minutes, apparently my best ever, which I’ll happily accept. Thank you

Since then it’s been the joy of leftovers: incredible parsnip soup, the turkey curry is still going strong, and my son enjoying his second full Christmas dinner on Boxing Day 😂.

What this Christmas has reminded me again is that rest is so important. Nourishment (in its many forms) really matters.

As I look ahead to 2026, I know I need more balance, protecting time for the things I love alongside supporting my wonderful clients. Both matter. And both make me better at what I do.

These are the tips I shared with my clients this week.

How’s your Christmas shaping up? 🎄

Christmas isn’t meant to be survived through restriction, guilt, or “starting again” in January.

If you want to enjoy the festive season and protect your energy, blood sugar, sleep, and wellbeing, here are a few gentle reminders:

• Don’t diet over Christmas.
Restriction often backfires. Aim for maintenance, not perfection.

• Don’t arrive hungry.
A little protein beforehand can make all the difference to cravings and calmer choices.

• Keep a little structure
Not rigid rules, just nourishing food at home and a loose plan.

• Be mindful with alcohol.
Drink with food, alternate with water, and choose quality over quantity.

• Keep moving.
A walk after meals, fresh air, gentle movement, it all counts.

Health isn’t made or broken in one week.
Consistency over time matters far more than what happens between Christmas and New Year.

Save this for later, or share it with someone who needs permission to enjoy Christmas without guilt.

Happy Christmas

½-price Power Hour for January (£50) when booked before the end of December.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or confused about what your body actually needs, this is the session I always recommend.

What actually happens in a Power Hour?

• Review your symptoms and health history
• Look at blood tests or results (if available)
• Identify possible root causes
• Create clear, realistic next steps you can actually follow

Here’s the thing I see again and again:

Many clients don’t need more information.
They need someone to join the dots.

One focused hour can save months of confusion, unnecessary supplements (that cost a fortune) and stress.

This is ideal if you’re:

• Not ready for a 3 or 6-month programme
• Not sure where to start
• Want personalised guidance without a big commitment

January doesn’t have to mean extremes or starting over.

Sometimes clarity is the reset.

½-price January Power Hours available when booked before the end of December.

What a week.
Two trips to London, one to Bournemouth and a birthday party in Newbury, and then I got ill!

The balance between pushing hard for my business, and actually resting, is one I’m still learning. But as I get older, I’m realising that taking time out isn’t selfish, it’s essential. I’ve still got plenty of energy (most of the time), but I’m not in my twenties anymore and my body tells me when I’ve overdone it.

Highlights:
• Meeting friends from the Speak & Shine Society and gill, such a brilliant group of women.
• Visited the College of Naturopathic Medicine where I studied years ago. Tried a sound bath (fell asleep and missed the whole thing!), had my live blood analysed, tested a PEMF bed and listened to inspiring speakers.
• Headed down to Bournemouth to see my friend , to attend a wellness networking event together and get some sea air.

Connected with Louise from Next Chapter & Beyond too.
• Finishing the week at the 1-year birthday party for .mia . The clothes are amazing… and I got a fabulous Christmas outfit.

A reminder to myself: you can be passionate about your work and still need to rest. Its annoying 😩
