Personalised Nutrition & Lifestyle Support
There are several ways we can work together, depending on where you are now and how much support you'd like.
Whether you want a one-off review to help understand your current nutrition, support with a specific health concern or a structured programme to make lasting changes, we'll start by identifying your priorities and agreeing the approach that's right for you.
My specialist areas include:
Brain health & healthy ageing
Bone & muscle health
Metabolic health
Midlife & menopause
I also work with a range of other health concerns where personalised nutritional therapy can provide valuable complementary support.
If you're unsure which option is right for you, book a free 30-minute exploratory call and we can talk through your goals.
Nutrition MOT
Not sure whether your everyday diet is really supporting your health?
You don't need to have a specific health problem to benefit from personalised nutrition advice.
If you'd like an expert pair of eyes on your current diet and lifestyle, my Nutrition MOT is a practical place to start.
You'll complete a three-day food diary before your 60-minute consultation. We'll then review your current nutrition, discuss your goals and identify the changes that are most likely to make a meaningful difference.
You'll leave with clear, personalised recommendations and an agreed action plan - not another generic healthy-eating checklist.
Nutrition MOT: £95
Ultimate Wellness Check
Want a more comprehensive picture of your current health?
If you're proactively thinking about your future health, or simply want a deeper look at your nutritional and metabolic status, the Ultimate Wellness Check provides a more comprehensive starting point.
It includes a private blood test covering 56 markers, followed by a 60-minute consultation to review the results and identify the areas that may benefit from nutritional and lifestyle support.
The emphasis is not on testing for the sake of testing. It's about using relevant information to help identify where your priorities should be.
Ultimate Wellness Check: £350 [includes blood test and a nurse home visit to take blood.]
The Menopause Method
Feel better through menopause. Build better health for
what comes next.
Menopause is more than hot flushes and changing hormone
levels. It's a significant transition in a woman's life - one that
can affect sleep, energy, mood, body composition, appetite, brain function, bone health and metabolic health.
The Menopause Method is my personalised 1:1 nutrition and
lifestyle programme for women who want to understand what may be contributing to the way they're feeling and take practical steps towards feeling better.
Together we'll focus on the foundations that matter: blood sugar balance, protein and healthy fats, gut health, micronutrients, sleep, stress, movement and the way your body processes and responds to changing hormones.
The aim isn't perfection or a quick fix. It's about giving you the knowledge, tools and personalised support to make sustainable changes that work for your life.
The Menopause Method 12-week Programme: £1,200
Individual Nutritional Therapy Consultations
For people who want personalised support around a specific health concern, nutrition goal or lifestyle change.
Your initial comprehensive 90-minute consultation gives us time to understand your health history, current nutrition and lifestyle, symptoms and goals in detail.
Follow-up consultations provide accountability and allow us to review progress, troubleshoot challenges, refine your plan and build sustainable habits over time.
Where appropriate, I can also help you interpret existing NHS blood results and discuss whether additional private testing may be useful. Plus I can advise on and recommend dietary supplements if relevant.
Initial Nutritional Therapy Consultation: £250 (90 minutes)
Follow-up Consultation: £150 (60-minutes)
For clients who want more structured support, I recommend working together over a series of sessions or programme rather than relying on individual appointments.
Corporate Wellness Workshops and Talks
More organisations are investing in employee wellness, and menopause support is increasingly part of that picture. With a 30-year corporate career in marketing behind me, I understand first-hand the pressures of working full-time in a demanding environment, and how much harder that is to manage without the right support.
I design and deliver bespoke workshops, talks and wellness sessions to educate, empower and equip your workforce to feel and perform at their best. Sessions can include practical food and cooking demonstrations where appropriate, as well as pop-up clinics offering employees a one-to-one consultation.
Recent workshop topics include:
