Eating a healthy balanced diet is essential for good health and well-being. We need a wide variety of different foods in order to provide the right amounts of nutrients for optimal health but often our Western lifestyles and diets lead to sub-optimal nutritional status, obesity and poor health.

I have many years' experience as a nutritional therapist and health coach, working in a busy urban clinic as well as here in Wirksworth. 

I offer consultations for weight management, IBS and other gut disorders, low immunity and post-viral fatigue, CFS, ME and fibromyalgia, as well as female hormonal issues such as perimenopause, menopause and period pain.

I use Functional Pathology to gain a deeper understanding of your symptom profile. Functional pathology tests may be used to investigate your nutritional, biochemical, hormonal and metabolic status. The results provide important information that assists with the effective management of your health concerns. 

Functional pathology tests available include: 

• Adrenal stress profiles
• Hormone Health profiles
• Thyroid hormone profiles
• Comprehensive parasitology
• SIBO Test
• Helicobactor Pylori Breath Test
• Food and inhalant panels
• Comprehensive stool analysis
• IBS Status
• Mineral and vitamin tests
• Toxic Metal tests
• Health risk profile
• Candida

I am an advocate of the FODMAP and Elimination Diets for IBS. These diets are backed up by clinical research and many clients show significant improvements with dietary adjustments.
