As a Naturopath and Nutritional therapist, I take a holistic approach to identifying health problems, getting to the root cause of disease rather than simply suppressing the symptoms.
Nutritional Therapy is about understanding your body and exploring the best dietary changes to suit your individual needs. For some clients it could be uncovering key minerals they are missing, for others, it’s creating a food programme that fits in with their busy schedule and stops them craving sugar. Everybody’s needs and requirements are different and as such my nutrition plans are tailored to each client.
To create a fully rounded lifestyle package, yoga practices are often incorporated into each tailored action plan. By integrating other aspects of your lifestyle, such as posture, breathing, natural movement, and mindfulness, each tailored nutritional programme will help you find the best ways to have more vitality, energy, and enjoyment in your life.
I work with both children and adults to optimise their health through diet and lifestyle medicine.
Here are some of the key areas I cover:
- Digestive Issues
- Hormonal Imbalance
- Weight Loss
- Stress and Sleep problems
- Pre and Post-Natal Nutrition
- Children’s Health
- Skin Complaints
- Mental Wellness
What to expect
In a typical one to one nutritional therapy consultation, I take a detailed health status questionnaire, assessing your general health, family health history, dietary habits, digestive function and lifestyle. I will then devise a dietary and lifestyle plan suitable for your circumstances to address your health goals.
I may request functional tests from time to time. These are chosen carefully and add useful information to my decision-making process, concerning current and future food, supplement and lifestyle suggestions.
Some of the functional tests that I may use are:
- Comprehensive stool analysis
- Female hormone panels
- Food intolerance/sensitivity
Regular clinics are held in Reading and on Tuesdays in Hurley.
* Please note that all consultations are currently via zoom.
