Let’s keep it simple.

No complex recipes.

No extra cooking time.

Just loading up with a variety of nutritious plant foods to feed your gut microbes something tasty.

This is a simple tray bake of smoked firm tofu and veggies, roasted with a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoned with ground cumin and smoked paprika.

Add more tasty nutritious foods to this meal with zero effort.

✅ A sprinkle of seeds.
✅A handful of leafy greens. Baby spinach and rocket are my go tos.
✅A spoonful of kimchi for a spicy fermented topping.
✅ Avocado for some more healthy fat.
✅ A handful of fresh herbs for some micronutrients.

When we eat a wide variety of foods from plants, we give our gut microbes the fuel they need to function and help us to thrive.

Loading up on plants also makes meals more interesting and flavourful, and keeps us feeling full and satisfied with all the fibre.

Never underestimate the power of eating real nutritious food 💚

Yesterday, I spoke to a young woman who had been suffering with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS ) for tie past five years. It was severely impacting her daily life, and despite numerous tests, diets, Doctors appointments and supplements, nothing was helping to relieve her symptoms.

Now she’s in a 54 month waiting line for an endoscopy and colonoscopy.

One thing she had not done was a comprehensive microbiome test. Fortunately, I can offer this to her and I firmly believe it will give us some answers and a plan to move forward - because the relationship between IBS symptoms and the microbiome is a two way relationship.

IBS is increasingly being linked to imbalances in the gut microbiome, including reduced microbial diversity, gut dysbiosis, and lower levels of beneficial bacteria.

What’s important to understand is that this isn’t just about managing symptoms. The health of your microbiome can actively influence how IBS develops and persists.

Clinical studies now show that following a personalised diet guided by microbiome testing can help rebalance the gut, leading to reduced IBS symptom severity an quality of life.

A more effective and less restrictive approach than standard low FODMAP diets, which this client had previously tried.

This is why I use clinical microbiome testing in my practice. It allows me to move beyond generic advice and work with real data from your own gut, so nutrition and lifestyle support can be truly personalised.

These tests are processed by third party laboratories and analysed by a team of clinical experts from Doctors to Nutritional Therapists and Functional medicine practitioners. I can then deliver this information to you with a straightforward personalised nutrition plan.

If you’ve been struggling with ongoing gut symptoms or IBS and want a more precise, root-cause approach, I can guide you through this testing and help you understand exactly what your gut needs.

I’ve been off tie radar for a little while, quietly working on a few projects , all aimed at helping you live your best life.

These clinical tests are available for you to do in the comfort of your own home, and they are really simple to do. Just take a tiny swab of your poo from the toilet paper. That’s it.

The results will form the roadmap to a personalised plan created just for you, based on the diversity of good and bad bacteria in your gut.

Celebrating this milestone of a birthday in paradise with my amazing boyfriend…totally spoiled 😎🎂🌴

Back on the soup kick - I call this one beans and greens 🥬

Packed with plant protein, high in fibre, slow release carbs and of course a little healthy fat all make this tasty soup a one pot meal hitting all your nutritional bases.

I topped this one with sourdough croutons, crunchy pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some fresh thyme.

Cook up a batch of this and you’ll have an effortless nutritious meal for busy days and lazy nights when you just can’t be bothered to cook.

You will need:
1/2 onion roughly chopped
2 cloves fresh garlic
2 sticks celery
1 parsnip , peeled and cut into small pieces
1 can of white beans. Butter beans, cannellini, or chickpeas all work.
A generous handful of spinach
A generous handful of other dark leafy greens- kale, chard, Cavalo Nero, mustard greens, collard greens.
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp White miso paste or vegetable stock

All you need to do is heat a large non stick pan with a tablespoon of olive oil and add the onion, celery, garlic, parsnip and beans. Cook for a couple of minutes then cover the ingredients with water and miso paste or of vegetable stock , bring to the boil. Reduce and simmer until all veggies are tender, about 15 minutes.

Add all of your leafy greens and the juice and zest of the lemon, and cook for a couple of minutes until the greens are wilted.

Take the soup pot off the heat , season with salt and pepper. Purée the soup with an immersion blender until it’s nice and creamy. You may need to add more stock or water to achieve your desired consistency.

Job done ✅

Serve as I did with a sprinkle of fresh thyme, sourdough croutons and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, or just enjoy with a chunk of crusty bread.

Enjoy, 😀

I’m still on my soup mission this week, creating the most delicious nutritionally balanced plant packed bowls of goodness 💚

This is my Mexican inspired butternut squash and black bean soup…seriously, you need this in your life 😍

This tasty soup will fuel you with tons of plant power to give you energy, keep you full, and stabilise your blood sugar.- helping you avoid the afternoon energy slump and raiding the biscuit tin.

High in plant proteins, slow release carbs, essential healthy fats and a ton of soluble fibre. It covers all nutritional bases in one delicious meal.

This recipe makes 4-6 portions, and it’s really filling.

You will need:
1 butternut squash, roasted and cut into small bite size pieces.
2 sticks celery, small diced
1 red pepper, small diced.
1 medium carrot, small diced
1/2 onion, small diced
3 cloves garlic
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 can organic black beans
1 tbsp white miso paste or vegetable stock
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp smoked paprika.
I lime

Optional toppings: Sliced avocado, pumpkin seeds, fresh parsley or corruander, lime wedge.

In a large non stick pan, heat a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Add the garlic, spices, onion, carrot, celery and pepper. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes.

Add all remaining ingredients , leaving aside half of the roasted squash.

Fill one of the empty bean cans with water , add to the soup pot. You may need a further can of water if the soup becomes too thick.

Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15-20 minutes.

You can save the soup just as it is, or purée about 1/4 of it like I did for a semi chunky soup.

Stir in the remaining pieces of butternut squash and warm through.
Adjust the seasoning to your tastes, finishing by squeezing the juice of the fresh lime into it.

That’s it.

Let me know if you try it.

More recipes to come.

After a chilly morning at the farm with my horse Tigger it was time to warm up and make something tasty and nourishing for the weekend.

It’s definitely soup season.

But not just any soup- a big pot of goodness which covers all nutritional bases, so it’s a great filling one pot meal.

High in protein, healthy fats, loaded with fibre, with the addition of warming spices with antioxidant immune boosting properties.

Here’s my recipe for this carrot soup with a kick:

You will need
4 large carrots
1/2 onion
2 cloves fresh garlic
A chunk of fresh ginger , about 1 cm.
1/2 tsp dry chilli flakes
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tablespoon white miso paste
1 cup ( about a handful ) dry red lentils or 1 can cooked lentils
Salt and black pepper

🥕In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil, add the spices, ginger, garlic and roughly chopped onion, cook for a couple of minutes whilst roughly chopping the carrots.

🥕Add the carrots, miso paste and cover with a good inch of water. Bring to a boil, reduce and simmer until the carrots are tender. Add more water if it gets too thick.

🥕Purée the soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Check the seasoning adding salt and black pepper to your taste.
If using canned lentils, stir them into the soup and warm through. If using dry red lentils, add another 2 cups of water , bring to the boil and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 15 mi utes.

To serve, top with some crunchy seeds and drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil.

Will you give this a go this weekend ?

Let me know .

As a Nutrition & Health Coach with over two decades of cooking for UHNW clients, I know A LOT about food.

I also know first hand, that when you fuel your body with food it recognises as essential nutrients, health improves - energy, focus, weight, sleep, hormones…it all starts to re balance.

So, I’m working on a couple of things right now to share some of my nutrition and culinary knowledge beyond working with my 1:1 coaching clients.

The thing is, I know that not everyone is ready to invest their time and money in a personal nutrition and wellness program- it takes a certain type of individual to say enough is enough and start to really work on their health with full commitment.

Something I constantly get asked for is healthy recipes.

Fortunately, my years of professional cooking and nutrition coaching has filled my brain with an endless amounts. 🤪👩‍🍳

The hard part for me, is translating this wealth of information and recipes into easy to follow, no fuss meals, which do t involve spending hours in the kitchen.

Recipes which are not too “ Cheffy” , not too complex, not too time consuming.

So it’s a work in progress, but it’s happening.

A collection of nutrient dense delicious plant focused recipes, which will fuel your body with the nutrients it needs to thrive - so that you can start to improve your health one tasty meal at a time.

Furthermore, I’m compiling a new bite sized nutrition guide and also a healthy life workbook, containing coaching tools which I use in my own practical

Busy busy.

Watch this space.

Have a great week aged.

The afternoon energy crash is not normal.

You shouldn’t feel like reaching for sugary drinks, caffeine, raiding the biscuit tin, or eating junk food to get you through the afternoon.

But pretty much everyone experiences this, especially the busy professionals I work with.

The energy crash in the afternoon with subsequent unhealthy food choices is due to a drop in blood sugar.

No doubt, a cup of coffee and a couple of biscuits will give you a quick energy fix to power you through, but that energy will only come with a bigger crash.

The energy crash is totally preventable.

How ?

In my professional opinion, it’s about eating nutritionally balanced meals throughout the day which provide your body with stabilised energy.

A balance of protein, slow release carbohydrates, some healthy plant based fat and lots of fibre.

Get this balance right and you’ll feel energised, more focus , motivated and productive all day long…I promise.

This is something I teach my 1:1 clients how to do.

Although blood sugar balancing is absolutely key, it’s also important to step up on your wellness foundations :

Prioritise rest and quality sleep 💤

Drink plenty of water 💧

Move your body 🚶‍♀️

Get some fresh air 🌳

Connect with me today if you want to stop the afternoon energy crash and start feeling energised, focused, motivated and more productive…one tasty meal at a time.

Have a great week ahead.

Feeling overwhelmed about a recent medical diagnosis and don’t know what to eat ?

This is a common theme in my clinic.

I’m currently putting together a no nonsense easy to follow meal plan for my client Joe who started working with me recently.

He has been struggling with his diet for almost two years after being diagnosed with an uncommon medical diagnosis which results in swelling of his lips.

It’s ruining his confidence and he’s had no guidance since his diagnosis on what to eat except to follow a benzoate and cinnamon free diet.

It’s complicated to say the least.

I’ve pulled all of my resources, consulted with fellow practitioners within my network and gathered as much published research as I can to help him.

Admittedly, this is not an easy case, but I love doing my detective work and translating these results into an easy to follow plan for him.

No more overwhelm, confusion, stress and frustration for Joe.

I’ll be working with him personally to guide and support him over the next 8-12 weeks as we navigate this diet and hopefully see a positive outcome.

If you have also been recently diagnosed with a medical condition or food allergy or intolerance which requires you to edit your nutrition and lifestyle , I would love to help you too.

Whether it’s Type 2 Diabetes, Coeliac disease, Thyroid health or a nightshade allergy, I can help you navigate your new diet with ease and support you every step of the way.

🌱 Struggling to navigate a medical diet?

You’ve been told to “avoid this” and “cut out that” — but now you’re left staring at a long list, unsure what’s actually safe, satisfying, or supportive of your health.

Does this sound familiar?

I help people turn vague or overwhelming nutritional guidelines into clear, tasty, manageable everyday meals.

Clients have come to me recently for help with :

👉 Reducing inflammation and managing acid reflux
👉 Folllowing a cinnamon and benzoate free diet
👉 Navigating a liver-supportive diet after a fatty liver diagnosis
👉Manage type 2 diabetes and lower cholesterol
👉 Having to lose a significant amount of weight prior to surgery
..these clients were either given a complex list of foods to eat or not to eat, told to follow an elimination diet without support, or received NO SUPPORT AT ALL.

These lovely people felt stressed, restricted, and unsure of what to eat — until we started working on their nutrition plan.

Together, we created clarity, structure, and confidence — and yes, food they could actually enjoy. 💚

✨ If you’ve received a diagnosis and feel overwhelmed about food, let me take the stress out of it.

I’ll guide you through it step by step — so you can stop guessing and worrying and start feeling better fast.

No stress, no overwhelm. 🙏

📩 DM me if this sounds like what you need.

Let’s make food work for your health.

Talk soon.
