Our Approach

Our approach is hands-on and personal with a food-first focus

Many people come to a Nutritional Therapist at the end of a long journey of frustration. Years of yo-yo dieting, ongoing chronic symptoms, energy slumps and low mood, wonky hormones or digestive issues that medications just don’t seem to help. 

We use a food-first approach and address any imbalances within your diet and lifestyle. Only then will we use supplements, if necessary.

We take time to explore your full story and ensure you feel heard. We gather the information from all aspects of your life, consider the side effects from medications that may increase, or even cause, some degree of your symptoms.

Together, we will set goals that work to enhance systems in your body such as digestive function, strengthening the immune system, balancing blood sugar levels and improving the body’s natural detoxification pathways. We always stay central to the investigation and connect the dots.

The focus is on home cooking using whole, fresh and real foods.

Supporting you on your journey

We aim to get you excited about the positive and powerful effects that food can have on your wellbeing, whether it’s in your breakfast bowl, lunch box or dinner plate. We love helping more people to make long-term healthy habits.

We believe that making simple daily changes will help you feel better and function well. We want you to understand that the food you eat affects every cell in your body and is the difference between you feeling ‘not bad’ or feeling fantastic.

If you are committed to improving your health, we will be right here with you.

What to expect at a Nutritional Therapy Consultation?

  • Explore your medical history and health timeline to understand your current symptoms.
  • Assess your physiology from presenting signs and symptoms and any past medical testing to identify underlying imbalances.
  • Suggest any relevant additional functional testing to obtain updated information
  • Recommend personalised dietary changes to optimise nutrition and address nutritional deficiencies
  • Provide menu plans relevant to your specific dietary needs
  • Suggest behavioural changes and lifestyle management through achievable goal setting and identification of challenges and barriers
  • Initial Conversation

    This is a free 20 -minute chat to establish your current health situation and whether we are the right people to help you.

  • Questionnaire and Food Journal

    You will be provided with your own client portal to complete your specific health questionnaire and you will be asked to journal your food diary, exercise, mood and sleep for a week before we meet.

  • Initial Consultation

    During your initial consultation we focus on:

    • - Understanding you and your body
    • - Medical history
    • - Family history
    • - Current physical activity levels
    • - Lifestyle and work-life
    • - Sleeping habits
    • - Food choices

    We then discuss your priorities and health goals, both short-term and long-term.

  • Nutritional Plan

    This plan isn’t just about picking the right food. We provide information on foods to include or avoid, taking into account your likes and dislikes. We also look at introducing a degree of physical activity that suits your lifestyle. We may also recommend supplements, if necessary, to give your body an initial kickstart. The key word here is ‘agree’. We agree your plan with you so it’s realistic and you are enthusiastic about the changes you will make, not overwhelmed. After all, we can provide the support but it’s your commitment that makes it happen.

  • Tests and Specialists

    Where needed, we may recommend additional functional testing. Private testing is more detailed than that performed by a GP as we look for a wide range of markers. This provides us with a snapshot of your immediate health and can indicate a route to help you feel better. We may also refer to specialists such as a physiotherapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, or other professionals if we feel this is appropriate for your continued health and wellbeing. We will always aim to work alongside your GP and other medical professionals involved in your care to reach the best possible outcome for you.
