Bridging the Gap Between Science and Nature
I know what it’s like to feel lost in a medical system that doesn’t have all the answers. My journey into nutritional medicine wasn’t just academic, it was a path to my own recovery.
After a viral infection attacked my heart and nervous system, I was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and M.E. I found myself in the position so many of my clients are in today: prescribed medication that offered little improvement at that time, and searching for a way to simply get my life back. It was through my own relentless research and the guidance of a brilliant nutritionist on Harley Street who later became my friend and mentor that I finally found the missing pieces of my health.
That recovery changed everything. It transformed my passion into my profession, leading me to graduate from the University of West London with a BSc in Nutritional Medicine in 2009.
Today, I have over 17 years of clinical experience, including a decade in Harley Street and 10 years at Lilliput Health in Poole. I am also a leading functional medicine specialist, linking the complex relationships between disease, nutrition and chronic health issues. I haven’t just studied health, I have lived it.
My Commitment to Excellence
My practice is founded on the belief that you deserve to be heard, not just labelled. I specialize in complex Immune, Atopic, and Gastrointestinal disorders, and I work with clients who are looking for the underlying drivers of their chronic illness rather than just a quick fix. Because of my clinical background and high level of expertise, I am recommended by GPs and medical professionals when a patient requires specialist support outside the remit of the NHS.
As a leading nutritional practitioner, I was honoured to win the GHP Award for Nutritionist of the Year, South England, in 2018. My passion for this field extends beyond the clinic, and I have contributed regular articles to prestigious publications like Men’s Health and the London Metro. You may have also seen me on Channel 5’s show Bikini Body: The Truth about Diets, or heard me on BBC Radio Solent and Wave 105. I am extremely passionate about education and have given seminars on the ‘benefits of healthy eating’ both in the UK and Switzerland.
