My journey to becoming a Nutritional Therapist ultimately began when my own health deteriorated.

 

My body started giving me many signs and symptoms such as digestive issues, food sensitivities, hormonal issues, fatigue, migraines & vertigo.

​

An undiagnosed condition of Vestibular Migraine, (my migraines were silent, often happening without pain), caused such debilitating vertigo symptoms, that I became bed bound for days, weeks & months at a time, causing much stress &  distress to me, & my wider family, whom I had to rely on for help, whilst bringing up young children.

​

Over the years I sought help from many different medical practices in an effort to get my health & life back. The list was long from GPs, consultants, private specialist, osteopaths, physiotherapists, vestibular therapists & medication. The road was long, however a chance conversation with a friend who was seeing a functional medicine / nutritionist, led me to their practice.

​​

And so, my health journey with nutrition & functional medicine began. As early as six months later, I was off all medication & back leading a semi-normal life. ​This breakthrough in my own health recovery inspired me to build upon my background as a holistic therapist & reflexologist to sign up to a three-year degree course at the London College of Naturopathic Nutrition (CNM). I knew I wanted to help people that have their own lives blighted by health conditions.

​

CNM taught me so much about how our body has an amazing ability to recover, given the right help to function & environment. What we ultimately put into our bodies through food & diet, our lifestyle & the environment, envelopes around us, alongside our own genetics, it affect our bodies systems in positive & negative ways. Using a naturopathic & holistic approach we can understand our own bodies signs & symptoms, not as isolated complaints but as signals from the body that all is not well & something needs attention.
 

Diet, nutrition & lifestyle has had a major impact on my own health & this is also true for many other conditions, as well as our health & wellbeing. I know this only too well, and this drives my passion to helping others achieve this. I am still continually focussed & dedicated on keeping my condition under control & have appreciation of how challenging this can be with a chronic or longterm condition. 

​

I use a holistic & naturopathic approach alongside functional medicine testing if it is necessary, to gain a deeper understanding of your symptoms & body as a whole. The body will always try to heal itself, it just needs the right conditions to do so.
