Having graduated from the Plaskett Nutritional Medicine College in 1985 with a Diploma in Nutritional Medicine, I have been practising as a BANT registered Nutritional Therapist for 11years. Prior to this I worked as a Development Manager in research and development within the food industry.

I believe that nutrition is the key factor linking health, fitness and well-being, and it is about keeping your body alive and well by means of food. Like any complex machine it will not work properly unless you put the right fuel in it and keep it well maintained.

Well-Being encompasses the physical, mental and emotional aspects of life. The key to a sense of well-being is having the right balance to achieve good health, happiness and prosperity.

As a Nutritional Therapist my aim is to find the underlying cause of your health problems, carry out appropriate diagnostic tests, and provide detailed advice on diet and supplements for maximum health and performance.  Even if you don't have any health problems I can check that you are  doing the right things with regards to disease prevention, longevity and anti-aging.  Specialist consultancy (e.g. menu analysis for schools, product development) work can also be undertaken on request.

In 2007 I qualified as a REPs Level 2 Fitness Instructor.  I am now able to provide my clients with advice on exercise as well as diet.  From September 2007, in partnership with Key Health,  I will be running The Diet Academy weight management courses.  Initially this will be based in my home town of Warminster, but the plan is to expand into other regions as we build a network of qualified instructors.
