Holistic Wellness

An integrated approach combining nutrition, lifestyle and coaching

My approach

In my work I combine the latest nutrition science and nutritional psychology with functional medicine, lifestyle and coaching tools. Having trained in nutritional therapy as well as psychology, my mission now is to help bridge the gap between mental and physical health and wellbeing and help support people make positive, sustainable changes. 

 

My approach is evidence-based, holistic, inclusive, non-judgemental and I aim to create an environment where people feel heard, supported and safe to be themselves. I am here to listen to each client's own story to help make sense of the root cause or causes behind symptoms and concerns. I am also here to support, educate and help with accountability, as changing one's lifestyle, nutrition and mindset sounds a lot easier on paper than it is in reality. With so much conflicting information and misinformation on what we should or shouldn't eat or do to live well, I can help make sense of what we know is true or not and teach how real food and nutrition, simple lifestyle tools and even how we see the world, all impact both our physical and emotional health and wellbeing. It is my strongest belief that wellness does not have to be complicated or consist of depriving fad diets and restriction. I wholeheartedly believe that in order to feel truly well, all aspects of our lives need to be considered and aligned. With my holistic, compassionate approach, my goal is to support behaviour change and help people understand that health starts with the bigger picture.

If you feel ready to prioritise your own health and wellbeing but maybe don't know where to start, then I would love to work with you.

One on one Nutritional Therapy 
Consultations

Personalised nutrition and lifestyle advice in person or via zoom

I see individuals primarily online via zoom but also in person in my South London clinic. Occasionally I also see clients in their home.

In order to see real results, time and commitment is essential. 

Based on my clinical experience, clients who have the best progress commit to at least 3 months. Therefore, the consultation process I offer is based on individualised packages for clients to truly benefit from the therapy, allowing time for gradual changes to take place.

Depending on the level of support required, the frequency of consultations vary from client to client. One person may prefer to talk on a weekly basis to feel fully supported and for accountability, whereas someone else may prefer to talk once monthly and focus on the nutrition and lifestyle advice and recommendations more independently. The free 30-minute introductory call, is an opportunity for me to better understand your specific needs and establish if I can help you, and for you to get a better idea of how I work. It is not a consultation, but a great opportunity to connect and see if we are a good fit and if appropriate, we may also discuss which package structure that may be suitable for you at this point in your life. 

 

Although the way I work vary between individuals, there are a few things which are included in all nutritional therapy packages. Below is a description of the first stages of the package structure, to help give an understanding of what is involved when working with me on a 1:1 basis.

 

Please note that work targeted at disordered eating does differ from the structure explained, so if this is something you need support with do schedule a call to discuss with me how I can help you.

What's involved in the first stages of my one on one packages and what to expect when working with me

Regardless of package structure, all clients seeing me are asked to complete a comprehensive client questionnaire and a food diary prior to the first meeting.

This information is used for me to analyse and better understand where we may need to focus to start off with.

 

During the first consultation which lasts around 2 hours, I will discuss with you in great detail the findings from the questionnaire. This includes for example details regarding your medical background, family history, health concerns, your goals, diet and lifestyle factors. Questions during this consultation will be tailored to each individual based on the information from the questionnaire and food diary and I may ask more in depth questions in areas which I believe may be more relevant at this particular time.

 

Following the initial consultation all clients receive a personalised and bespoke wellness plan which will take into consideration both nutrition and lifestyle.

This may additionally include meal suggestions, recipes and handouts.

Sometimes I may recommend supplements or testing, but only if I think it is necessary or may play an important role in determining how to move forward.

Please note that all supplements and testing are provided by third parties and will therefore come at an additional cost. 

During the initial consultation we will also draw up a plan for the consultations to come depending on the specific structure and package. 

All individuals working with me also receive

  • 10% discount on medical grade supplements with Amrita or The Natural Dispensary

  • Complementary interpretation of any additional test results

  • Email support

  • Information handouts if suitable

  • If applicable, medication and nutrient-drug interaction evaluation 

  • Wellness program for maintenance following the final consultation as part of each bespoke package 

Package prices starting from £550
