How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
A healthy diet is fundamental to our health and well-being. We have known for many years that nutritional deficiencies can cause disease and
that insufficiency precipitates this. I am passionate about educating and empowering others to learn about food and nutrition, helping others to embrace a healthy, balanced diet and to prevent these deficiencies from arising.
As nutrition education is gaining momentum in conventional healthcare, more research is being funded and we are learning even more about food and its relation to health. Nutrition allows us to function on a basic level, but also to help in preventing chronic disease, to support our mood, to achieve our fitness goals, and so much more.
What do you love most about your job?
There are many reasons as to why I chose this career however fundamentally I am passionate about educating and empowering others, providing my clients with a more complete approach to their own personal healthcare. Nutrition (although not to be underestimated) is just one aspect of health, and I am a real advocate of many different professionals working together in order to provide the greatest level of care.
Building positive therapeutic relationships is integral to my clinic and another facet of my job which I love. I am able to motivate and inspire other people on a daily basis which is a wonderful and humbling experience.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was inspired to start my own business as I wanted to reach people in a personalised, safe and practical setting. Although I enjoy using social media to spread the message of positive nutrition far and wide, working with clients on an individual basis is crucial when you are considering specific health conditions, dietary requirements and use of medications. It is simply not safe to give out 'catch all' nutritional advice for anything other than basic nutrition - we are all individual and respond to food as such.
I was inspired to study nutrition as a result of personal health issues. A multitude of factors brought me back to health however I truly believe diet and food intake was integral to this. This realisation kick-started my interest in food and well-being and led me to where I am today, hoping to help others in making a similar journey to my own.
Why should our clients choose you?
I will only ever have my client's best interests at heart. I am passionate about providing evidence based advice which is practical and suited to your needs. I believe in nourishing not restricting.
I consider all aspects of food and nutrition, including time to cook and enjoyment of this, budget, particular likes and dislikes and more. I also work holistically meaning that I consider you as a whole person as opposed to a set of individual symptoms. Together we will work through a comprehensive health history, a food diary, and your specific needs and requirements in order to start appropriately supporting your health.
