Good mental health, like physical health, depends on proper nutrition. Physical and mental health are intrinsically linked, for example, a bodily issue like a thyroid problem, can have a great impact on one's day to day mood levels. Nourishing foods provide key nutrients that set the foundation for optimal brain function. If you are experiencing fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, low mood, mood swings, irritability or unrelenting worries, introducing more high quality foods into your diet with the right nutrients, will help your brain to work at its best.

Adrenal fatigue, often referred to as ‘burnout’, is caused by chronic mental or emotional stress. It occurs when your adrenal glands become overworked due to long-term cortisol output. The main symptom is severe tiredness, that is not relieved by sleep. You may also experience ongoing fatigue, brain fog, forgetfulness, poor concentration, anxiety, joint aches, muscle pain, lightheadedness and have a low sex drive. Adrenal fatigue and low energy can be supported significantly with positive changes to dietary and lifestyle habits.

Where appropriate, I will recommend an Adrenal Stress Profile (ASP) functional test, which provides an assessment of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis using timed salivary samples of the hormones cortisol and DHEA. This will provide me with a clear picture of how chronic your fatigue picture is.

“Lasting weight loss is never achieved with a fad diet that starves your body and your soul.”

If you would like to regain control of your eating habits and lose weight for good: you have come to the right place. Difficulty losing weight can negatively impact our self-esteem, confidence and happiness levels.

A history of yo-yo dieting and poor nutrition can lead to a sluggish metabolism, which links to disorders such as insulin resistance, hormone imbalances, cardio and cholesterol issues. I get to the root cause(s) of your unique biology and support fully with positive diet and lifestyle changes.

Weight loss goes far beyond calories in vs calories out. I help you rule out any underlying health issues that may be making weight loss more difficult, discuss habits and your relationship with food, dietary intake, nutritional status, lifestyle factors, medical history, common challenges and more. No one plan fits all when it comes to weight management so it will be very much tailored to you.

Common causes of weight gain and difficulty losing weight can include PCOS, insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, menopause, oestrogen dominance, nutritional deficiencies and high cortisol caused by stress.

Whether you’re training for a marathon, a competitive bodybuilder or a professional athlete who wants to perform at their optimal best, I will support you. Fitness is personal, and diet is key. I can recommend testing to assess core body functions so you reach your goals safely and successfully.

Adopting healthy habits can not only prevent long-term diseases and conditions developing but lengthen and improve the quality of your life. Nourishing your body from the inside out with the right nutrition strategy for you, will go a long way to making you feel and look great - improved mood and energy, reduction of muscle/joint aches and pains, glowing and youthful skin, and a more exuberant state of being. Youthful ageing truly starts from within.

Do you feel like your hormones are controlling your life? Alongside your genetics, hormonal imbalance can occur due to three main contributory factors: inflammation, insulin resistance and stress. When we have a combination of all three at play, this can cause havoc on our hormonal health. By addressing the causative factors, I will help you regain control of your hormones and create a safe and nurturing environment for them.

Weight gain, difficulty losing weight, PMS, heavy and painful periods, infertility, low libido, acne, PCOS, fatigue, brain fog, muscle weakness, mood swings, low mood, anxiety and headaches can all be driven by hormonal imbalances.

The physical act of growing and nurturing a baby requires a huge amount of resources. During those 9 months of pregnancy, your body is designed to give your baby everything he or she needs, at your expense. During the postnatal period and beyond, our bodies can then go on to experience hormonal changes, an interruption to our circadian rhythm, not to mention the emotional and mental demands of having a baby to care for.

When there are many stressors on us, physical and mental, your body can become exhausted and depleted. One of the main pillars to focus on for full recovery is replenishment of the nutrients you have given over to make, grow and birth your baby. If you are breastfeeding, the demand on your nutrient stores is heightened even further.

The food choices we make will influence how much energy we have, how well we sleep (when we are able to), our mood and our ability to focus.

A single hormone or nutrient deficiency can have a widespread impact on how your body functions. But when you start to restore key nutrients that have been in high demand, the body can begin rehabilitation.

The perimenopausal years most commonly begin in our late 30’s / early 40’s, although this can vary by person. This is a time where women begin to experience hormonal fluctuations that can have a huge impact on our mental and physical wellbeing. For most women I work with, it is the mental health symptoms that cause most concern; loss of self-esteem and confidence, brain fog, forgetfulness, mood swings, irritability and feeling low. I want you to understand your hormones, increase your energy, balance your mood, find your happy weight and regain confidence in your body and mind.
