Let's get to the root of why your body is struggling, so you can feel more like yourself again.

21/03/2026

On Thursday, I had the pleasure of hosting the monthly Cheltenham netwalk around Pittville Park.

We had the perfect balance of therapists and creative business owners - and of course, the beautiful weather ☀️

It was the perfect opportunity to:

🌿 Escape the desk and get into nature
👭 Connect with other creative and well-being entrepreneurs who understand the highs and lows of running a business
💡Exchange ideas, find clarity and feel truly supported.

These netwalks have become non-negotiable for me, as running a business on your own can feel lonely and daunting.

What’s one thing you do to feel less alone in your business or when working from home?

If you’ve been battling psoriasis, eczema, acne or rosacea and nothing seems to work long-term, you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.

One of my clients, Harriet, had dealt with red, itchy patches on her arms, elbows, knees and scalp for years. They’d got worse after pregnancy, and even steroid creams weren’t making a dent. She was exhausted by it.

Here’s something that often surprises people: skin conditions like these aren’t usually just a skin problem.

The skin is our largest organ, and it often reflects what’s going on deeper in the body, particularly in the gut.

When I work with someone struggling with their skin, I’m thinking about things like gut bacteria balance, how well the body is absorbing nutrients, food triggers, stress levels, and immune function.

Everyone’s picture looks a little different, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works.

Here are three gentle things worth trying this week:

🥦 Add one extra plant food a day to support your gut microbiome
😴 Prioritise sleep, it’s one of the most powerful tools for calming inflammation
📓 Start a simple food and symptom diary to spot any patterns

Small shifts can make a real difference over time.

If you’re ready to dig a little deeper, I’d love to have a chat about uncovering what might be going on for you.

Harriet, a busy mum of two, came to me frustrated and tired of living with psoriasis.

She’d dealt with red, itchy patches on her elbows, arms, knees and scalp for years, and they’d only gotten worse since her last pregnancy. A sunny holiday brought some relief, but even steroid creams from her GP weren’t cutting it.

People on the street and the kids at school were all asking ‘What’s wrong with your skin?’.

Harriet decided it was time to do something about it and, on my recommendation, bought a stool test to take a deeper dive into her body.

As a nutritional therapist, I know everyone’s psoriasis is unique, but the gut plays a key role in our health and can impact skin conditions.

With Harriet’s results, we started uncovering her root causes:

🔹 Low gut microbiome diversity (affecting immune resilience)
🔹 Low SIgA levels (making skin recovery harder)
🔹 High candida levels (which can worsen psoriasis)

So, with this information, I produced a tailored nutrition and lifestyle plan that centred around:

✨ Adding diverse, nutrient-rich foods to support her microbiome
✨ Managing her stress - a major trigger for psoriasis flare-ups
✨ Removing certain foods temporarily to see their impact

Within just three weeks, Harriet noticed real improvements - not just less itchy and red patches, but better skin on her face, and more energy too.

If you or someone you know is struggling with psoriasis, book a free chat with me and let’s get to the root cause of it together.

Well, that’s it for 2025.

Thank you to my clients and to all those who’ve trusted me with their health this year. I’m very grateful.

I hope Christmas brings good food, good company and a chance to properly switch off (without overthinking every mouthful).

Mince pies, endless fizz, the tub of assorted chocolates sat there right in front of you on the living room table.

Christmas and New Year are times for celebration, temptation and yes, plenty of indulgence.

But it doesn’t have to be a time of regret because you feel like you’ve derailed all of the progress you’ve made towards your health goals.

With a little planning and awareness, you can enjoy the festivities and maintain balance.

I’ve put together 10 practical tips to help you navigate the festive season without guilt or overwhelm.

Which tips resonates with you most? Let me know in the comments👇🏻

While everyone else is enjoying Glühwein, festive cocktails, mulled cider, and boxes of chocolates, you’re hyper-aware that even a small amount might trigger a flare.

Maybe you’ve noticed:

😫 Rosacea flushing the moment you have a drink
😫 Psoriasis feeling itchier after a few festive treats
😫 Acne ramping up when you’re around sugar and stress

And instead of looking forward to the celebrations, you’re quietly dreading them.

Watching what you eat.
Trying to avoid drinks without drawing attention.
Feeling like you have to ‘behave’ while everyone else relaxes.

I get that it’s exhausting and isolating constantly having to second-guess what your skin will do.

You’ve probably tried all the things:

The creams.
The medications.
The gluten or dairy-free diet.

But when you’re stressed, tired, eating whatever’s quick, and worrying about flare-ups… it’s no wonder you end up in the same cycle again and again.

It doesn’t have to stay like this.

As a nutritional therapist, I help clients get to the root cause of what’s driving their skin issues - whether that’s gut health, hormones, inflammation, stress, nutrient deficiencies, or something else the body is trying to tell you.

Because once you start addressing the root cause, that’s when the magic starts to happen:

✨ Skin calms
✨ Confidence starts to rebuild
✨You stop firefighting flare-ups and start breaking the cycle
✨You begin to feel like yourself again.

If 2026 is the year you’d love to feel more comfortable and confident in your skin, you’re welcome to book an informal, no-pressure chat. We’ll discuss what’s going on, where you’re stuck, and how I can support you.

No judgment. No sales pitch. Just a genuine conversation about your skin and your health.

Everyone else is wandering around Christmas markets, sipping mulled wine and taking cute photos, while you’re doing everything you can to avoid the camera because of a flare-up?

Maybe it’s:

😩 Eczema that’s cracked, itchy and impossible to ignore
😩 Psoriasis patches that make you want to hide under jumpers
😩 Rosacea that just won’t calm down
😩 Acne that feels so unfair when you’re not even a teenager anymore

And instead of feeling festive, you’re feeling fed up. Tired. Self-conscious. Like you’d rather spend Christmas tucked away indoors than trying to cover up for another event.

But the worst part is, it feels like you’re going round in circles.

You’ve tried the creams. You take the medications. And you hope that this will finally be the thing that works.

And it might. For a bit.

But when the stress hits, the late nights pile up, you’re exhausted and the convenience foods creep back in, your skin ends up back in the same place.
It can feel like a merry-go-round you just can’t get off.

But it doesn’t have to stay like that.

As a nutritional therapist, I help clients get to the root cause of what’s driving their skin issues - whether that’s gut health, hormones, inflammation, stress, nutrient deficiencies, or something else the body is trying to tell you.

When you're told your gut pain is 'Just one of those things'…

These are the exact words a client heard from her doctor after spending a week in hospital with agonising gut pain.

Every meal became a source of anxiety.

She worried that any bite could trigger more discomfort, or another stay in hospital.

She desperately needed help managing her gut, but didn't know where to turn.

We temporarily removed suspected trigger foods to give her gut time to heal, while adding in gut-soothing, anti-inflammatory options.

We also found 'safe' alternatives so she could still enjoy the odd sweet treat with her work colleagues.

The best bit?
We identified the exact trigger of her gut discomfort.

We eliminated it for a few weeks, with a plan to reintroduce it gradually when her gut was ready.

Finally knowing the cause brought her immense relief and reduced her mealtime anxiety.

She said: “I feel less defeated and more empowered and in control of managing my gut issues.”

You don’t have to struggle alone.

Eight years ago, when I was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in my knee, I knew I had to do everything possible to keep doing what I loved - running.

So, alongside tweaking my diet, I started strength training at in Cheltenham – and it has honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

What I love about RLF is that you’re greeted with a smile, and brilliant coaches tailor every session around you - your goals, your fitness level, and any niggles you’ve got going on (I’ve usually got one on the go!).

It’s small-group personal training, which means you get proper attention and support - and loads of laughs too.

It’s more than a gym. It’s a proper community where everyone looks out for each other, and honestly, that makes all the difference.

If you’ve been thinking about getting stronger, feeling better, or just want a welcoming space to move your body – they offer a 30-day trial. You won’t regret it! 💪

If your skin isn’t playing ball right now, it can feel like everyone else is ready for sparkles, glam and fun… while you’re stressing about how to cover up what’s happening with your skin.

Maybe it’s:
😫 Rosacea that make-up just won’t hide
😫 Psoriasis patches that make that perfect little black dress feel off-limits
😫 Eczema that’s flared, itchy, painful and now scabby – and you hate the idea of anyone seeing it

That sinking feeling that your skin will be the first thing people notice is draining. And it can really chip away at your confidence.

But you’ve tried everything.

Creams.
Medications.
Advice that your GP is genuinely trying to give… but nothing seems to make a lasting difference.

And you probably know that the stress, tiredness and convenience eating aren’t helping – but when you’re juggling work, life and a hundred other things, sometimes grabbing something quick is all you can manage.

It can feel like a loop you just can’t get out of.

But it doesn’t have to stay like that.

As a nutritional therapist, I help clients get to the root cause of what’s driving their skin issues - whether that’s gut health, hormones, inflammation, stress, nutrient deficiencies, or something else the body is trying to tell you.

Because once you start addressing the root cause, that’s when the magic starts to happen:

Planted in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham is a gorgeous 100% plant-based cafe, refill shop and community hub serving up the most incredible Eastern-influenced dishes (all freshly made by the talented Andy Tibbs of Poco Culina).

Whether you fancy a nourishing lunch, a catch-up with a friend over a coffee and a slice of cake, or need somewhere chilled to work for a couple of hours, this place has such a welcoming vibe.

What I love most? Everything on the menu is thoughtfully prepared with whole, plant-based ingredients (no fake meats here) that actually taste amazing. Plus, there’s free parking right opposite (a Cheltenham miracle!).

Pop in and see what all the fuss is about:

The good news? You’re not the problem. Your strategy is.

Here’s what usually happens:

You decide January is the time. You’re going to overhaul everything at once:

❌ New (restrictive) diet
❌ Cut out all chocolate and wine
❌ Complete routine change
❌ Batch cook every Sunday
❌ New lifestyle, new you

Except... you’re still juggling work stress, family life, rubbish sleep, ongoing exhaustion, and symptoms that never actually go away.

And then life happens. You slip. And suddenly you’re back at square one, wondering why you can’t just stick to things.

But here’s what I know from working with people in exactly this position…

Real, lasting change doesn’t come from trying harder with the same approach.

It happens when:

✨ Your plan is built around YOUR actual life (not an ideal version)
✨ You’re eating food you genuinely enjoy
✨ Someone takes the time to truly listen and understand
✨ You get to the root cause of your symptoms

Not another round of “I just need more willpower.”

If you’d love 2026 to be the year things finally shift - the year you wake up with energy, the year your symptoms improve, the year you stop starting over - you don’t have to wait until January.

You can book a relaxed, no-pressure chat with me now.

We’ll talk through what you’ve been experiencing, what you’ve already tried, and what support might actually make a difference for YOU.

No hard sell. No obligation. Just a conversation.

DM me INTRO for the link 💛

P.S. I’m not taking on new clients in December, but January spots are filling up, so if you’re thinking about it, let’s chat sooner rather than later.
