As a nutritional therapist I specialise in using nutrition and dietary interventions to promote optimal health and address specific health concerns. I assess your nutritional needs, create personalised diet plans and provide guidance on making optimal food choices to support overall well-being and manage specific conditions.

What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional therapy focuses on using nutrition and dietary interventions to support and promote optimal health. It recognizes the profound impact that food and nutrients have on the functioning of the body and seeks to address health concerns by optimising your nutritional status.

As a Nutritional Therapist, I assess your diet, lifestyle and overall health to identify areas of imbalance or deficiency. I then create a personalised diet plan and provide guidance on making appropriate food choices to address specific health conditions or to improve overall well-being.

The practice of nutritional therapy is rooted in the belief that a well-balanced and nutrient-rich diet can support the body’s natural healing processes and help prevent the onset of chronic diseases. I consider factors such as digestion, absorption, food sensitivities and lifestyle when I develop a tailored plan for you.

I educate my clients about the importance of a healthy diet, help them understand the impact of different foods on their health and empower them to make sustainable dietary changes. I may also incorporate supplements or functional foods to address specific nutrient deficiencies or enhance therapeutic outcomes.

Can you work with my doctor?

Absolutely! I do not aim to replace conventional medical treatment but rather complement it by focusing on the role of nutrition in supporting overall health and well-being. I work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for my clients.
