A bit about me
As a parent myself I know how stressful it can be making sure everyone is well fed.
That’s why I’m so passionate about helping other busy mums like you:
let go of diet culture
reduce nutrition overwhelm
feel more confident about feeding your family
and finally relax about food.
After working for many years in community health programmes, I moved into private practice specialising in family and child nutrition. As I helped parents navigate their children’s eating challenges, I started to notice that those who came to me worried about their child’s relationship with food were often struggling with their own. That’s why I now also work with mums who want to improve their own eating habits.
I believe that healthy eating makes room for all foods, especially your favourite ones
My Philosohpy
My values are rooted in conventional nutrition science, diet-free nutrition and responsive feeding. It’s not about perfect plates or following rigid rules. I won’t ask you to count calories or weigh foods, and I would prefer you not to weigh yourself or your child.
I work with you in a person-centred way, which means we start from where you or your family are at, following your agenda and exploring what is most important to you. We work together to agree realistic, achievable goals and build habits that are realistic and sustainable.
I have a BSc in Applied Human Nutrition, an MSc in Psychology & Health and a Postgraduate Certificate in Food and Health Studies. I am a proud registrant of the UK’s Association for Nutrition. I’ve also completed NHS-accredited training in Health Coaching and courses in Emotionally Aware Feeding and Understanding Your Eating.
If you like the sound of my approach but are on the fence about getting support, please remember that asking for help isn’t a sign of failure or inadequacy in your parenting. On the contrary - it means you’re a brilliant parent who has recognised what’s important and is ready to prioritise this.
It’s so much easier to make changes when you’ve got someone in your corner and I’m excited to support you in your onwards journey with food.
