About me
My interest in the power of food, evolved after years of suffering with IBS, which led on to fatigue and joint pain. I wanted to understand why I was getting more symptoms and what I could do to feel better. Eating a correct varied and nutritious diet helped me to take back control of my health, to heal my gut and to regain my energy.
I studied nutritional therapy at The College of Naturopathic Medicine where I qualified as a Nutritional Therapist and Naturopath and went on to study with the Institute of Functional Medicine to increase my skills in order to focus on addressing the root cause of my clients health concerns.
I am passionate about the importance of the mitochondria, the ‘power house of our cells’. Imagine when a battery has become flat, well the body behaves in a similar way when the mitochondria have nothing more to offer. Understanding the correct nutrients needed to power up the mitochondria, helps me support my clients with a variety of health issues, including: gut health, low energy, painful joints and brain fog.
Results are measured using a Vericard HRV machine.
My functional medicine whole person approach will help me to support your wellbeing and to empower and support you to make the necessary changes to feel fabulous once again.
I am a member of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT) and registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

What are mitochondria
Each cell in the body can contain thousands of mitochondria and the number largely depends on the function of each cell. For example, heart and brain cells need much more mitochondria to generate energy and have about 6,000 mitochondria per cell.
The “mighty mitochondria” are the cellular powerhouses that keep your metabolism humming by consuming oxygen and turning sugars, fats and proteins that we eat, into forms of chemical energy called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
They help turn the energy we take in from carbohydrates, fats and protein into energy that the cell can use.
