My background is in the IT corporate sector, working in various management roles. This gave me an insight into the stress and pressures placed upon people in the working environment.

I could see how the benefits of nutrition, when applied with the support of a registered practitioner, could be hugely beneficial to both the individual and the corporate sector. I was drawn to this powerful form of complementary therapy as a powerful healing process, based on a specialist-client partnership with the distinct aim of improving health. It is simple as making clients fit for their own purpose.

I trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London. I am a member of both the British Association of Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), the regulatory body for nutritional therapy, as a Registered Practitioner.

With three children of my own, now in their teens, I have used nutrition to help my own children’s asthma, eczema and childhood illnesses. I run a busy private practice in Reading, Berkshire, and bring with me 7 years’ experience as a nutritional and weight loss expert. I often appear on BBC Radio Berkshire as their Resident Nutritional Therapist, and I have published several articles on nutrition-related topics such as “Weaning” and “Boosting your Child’s Immunity”.
