Nutritional Therapist and Yoga Teacher
Most of the women I work with are already doing the ‘right’ things.
Yoga a few times a week, decent food, eight hours of sleep when work allows it.
Bloating, fatigue, skin flare-ups, broken sleep: this is your body telling you something, not a problem to fix with more restriction or more tracking.
I know how it feels to do everything ‘right’ and still not feel well.
That’s exactly where my approach starts.
I look at the full person in front of me.
Before we talk about food, I take your health history in depth: digestion, sleep, skin, hormones, stress, your history with food, what you’ve already tried.
Then we work to find the root cause of your symptoms, not just quieter versions of them.
Personalised Support:
What nourishes one person’s body can actively work against another’s. A BSc in Genetics and 20 years of studying how the body works taught me that, and it’s why I don’t hand out template meal plans or set macro targets. Your plan is built from your history, your symptoms and your actual life, so it holds up on a normal Tuesday, not just a perfect week.
Root Cause Focus:
Signals from your body are worth listening to, not problems to fix with more restriction or more tracking. We go deep into your health history first. Where it's useful, I bring in functional testing to see what’s happening underneath: blood panels for vitamins and minerals, stool testing for the gut microbiome and inflammation markers, hair mineral analysis, and hormone panels like the DUTCH test for cortisol and stress hormones. Results come back through me and shape your plan as we go.
Mind-Body Connection:
I’ve taught yoga for 14 years, 11 of them in London, with daily hands-on adjustments and close anatomical observation. That’s a kind of body literacy you don’t get from a clinic chair, and it runs through the nutrition work too. How you breathe, how you hold stress, how you recover from training: it’s all part of the same picture as what’s on your plate.
The Science Underneath:
I’m a Registered Nutritional Therapist with a Diploma in Nutritional Therapy (with distinction), a BSc in Genetics (with Honours), and 20 years across genetics and cancer research, nutrition and yoga. I explain the mechanism behind every recommendation, because you deserve to know why, not just what. No woo, no guesswork.
You Leave Knowing How Your Body Works:
My goal is that you finish our work together resourced and confident, with a plan for the months after, not dependent on me indefinitely. I’ll teach you to read what your body is telling you and make food choices that support it, without a tracking app doing the thinking for you. No machine, no dataset, no wearable can see the whole pattern of you. A trained human can, and then teach you to see it too.
Areas I work with most:
Gut symptoms and bloating
Skin
Your relationship with food: anxiety around eating, a history of restriction or tracking, wanting out of the loop
Energy and the mid-afternoon crash
Sleep
Hormonal symptoms
Stress and burnout
Why I do this work:
I’ve been where you are, and further. I’ve restricted, counted every calorie, starved myself, binged and purged. I hated my body for most of my life and thought food was the enemy in all its forms. That history is a big part of why I don’t practise nutrition by numbers: I know from the inside that tracking and restriction work against mental and physical health, not for them.
And prevention is personal. I lost my dad to cancer when I was 23, and my uncle, aunt and cousin within the same year. That’s what sent me into genetics and cancer research, yoga and eventually into this naturopathic nutrition work. When I take a full health history and look for the root cause, it’s because I know things get missed when nobody looks at the whole picture.
