MY APPROACH
So how does it work?
Many people seek out a nutritional therapist after years of frustration with diets, struggling with persistent symptoms, feeling unheard,and being told their test results are normal despite their ongoing issues.
Being a nutritional therapist is all about detective work. I take the time to fully explore your life and health history, understanding that past medications, illnesses, life events, and stressors may all contribute to your current health issues.
My approach focuses on educating and empowering you, and providing the dietary and lifestyle tools to support you in making simple, effective changes. Together, we create a simple and sustainable plan to support your health and wellness.
-
QuestionnaireThe first step is completing a comprehensive health questionnaire. Being as specific as possible helps me understand your issues and needs, with the understanding that there may be some areas which are less clear that we can discuss during the initial consultation.
-
Initial ConsultationDuring this first consultation, I will focus on understanding you and your body, exploring your family history, your unique health history, and discussing your current food choices, lifestyle, worklife, physical activity levels, sleep and stressors. We will then work together to clearly define your priorities and your short-term and long-term goals.
-
Personalised Health PlanThe key to this plan is collaboration. In order for you to commit to achieving your goals we work together to make sure the plan is sustainable and that changes are simple and manageable for you and are reflective of your preferences and lifestyle. Both dietary and lifestyle changes are may be included however any recommendations will be tailored to your likes and dislikes. Other elements such as supplement recommendations may also be included dependent on analysis of your health questionanaire and/or test results.
-
Tests and SpecialistsWhere needed, I may recommend additional functional testing including nutrigenomic (DNA) testing which could involve blood, saliva, urine, or stool samples. These tests would be discussed with you prior to any arrangements being made. The information provided by these tests can help provide me with a clearer picture of your how your body is working and of your individual needs. To ensure comprehensive and accurate results, I recommend using reputable private companies rather than relying on the GP. These tests are faster, more reliable, and provide a wide range of markers indicating where changes may be needed. I may also refer you to specialists such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, or herbalists if I believe it would be beneficial for your health and well-being. My aim is to work alongside your GP and other medical professionals supportng a multi-pronged approach to achieving your health and wellness goals.
-
FeesI work solely on a package basis to ensure the best outcomes for you. My packages are designed to deliver lasting, sustainable changes. Each package begins with an online questionnaire, followed by a one-hour consultation which can be in person or online. I tailor your nutrition plan to your goals, lifestyle, and preferences. This is followed by weekly support to help you stay on track. My fees reflect the time spent preparing for your appointment, researching and writing personalised health plans and studying and interpreting any GP, functional or DNA test results. My practice is built on providing safe, fact-based and effective recommendations tailored to your needs.
