Before I came to see you I was really worried about what I might have to give up and thought that I would end up on a 'diet', which I know from experience makes me miserable.
You helped me to break down some food barriers that I have held for years. Nothing was totally banned, so I didn't feel deprived or grumpy and made a gradual shift towards including new, healthier foods in my diet. The support was brilliant, making it really easy and I have managed to lose pounds whilst really enjoying a new way of eating. Thank you!

In a very short time you greatly transformed how I feel. It is so good to have my enthusiasm and energy for life return. I feel better than I have done in well over a decade, not only healthier and happier but also a dress size smaller.

The link between the foods we eat, our health and life expectancy is becoming widely researched and understood. Our diets provide our body with the nutrients needed for all aspects of growth, repair and functioning. Any imbalance in the diet may therefore impact on these and eventually result in ill health.
The World Health Organisation has estimated that in Europe alone, a third of cardiovascular disease (heart attacks, high blood pressure, artery disease and strokes) and 30-40% of cancers could be prevented by better nutrition. We are faced with spiralling rates of childhood obesity and for the first time in many years it is thought possible that our children could have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.
It is clear that we need to understand how to improve our food choices and those of our children to foster good health. This can be difficult when faced with such a diversity of information and so many 'fad' diets. Nutritional therapy provides evidence-based, practical advice tailored to each person’s specific needs and requirements. It enables individuals to play an active role in their health and wellbeing by making informed food choices that will support their health.
