Hi there, welcome to mywebsite. I don’t spend much time on my site as I am usually very busy in my clinics.
Just a little about myself. I do have over 15 years of experience as a nutritional therapist. Before that, I spent many years working with adults with learning issues.
Due to my own health issues, beginning with discovering a hole in the heart during my first pregnancy at age 25 years old, I had successful open heart surgery when my son was one year old.
Looking after a toddler and then a baby, soon after, my health deteriorated. I developed asthma due to constant chest infections and taking many courses of antibiotics. I then discovered I had hives and food sensitivities. As I spent many long nights reading about nutrition and health, I decided to train and help others. I received my training at the renowned Institute of Optimum Nutrition, and introduced the SCIO shortly after that. Many people were asking me to help with allergies and intolerances.
Since then, I have attended many continuing professional development courses.

In 2017 I attended AFMCP UK to introduce the functional medicine perspective. This is a method of considering all symptoms and contributing factors, taking into account all the possible systems imbalances within the body, and dealing with the underlying cause itself.
I use the SCIO Biofeedback to assess these imbalances. I also use many other functional tests such as Hair mineral analysis tests, functional blood tests, saliva tests and GI MAP test.
I work with people of all ages and backgrounds to assist them in meeting their health goals. I am always reading and expanding my knowledge by attending up-to-date seminars in the latest nutrition developments. I deal with people with empathy and understanding in a non-judgmental manner.
