Qualifications

Nutritionist

I obtained my Dip.ION at the prestigious London Institute For Optimum Nutrition studying on their three year "Nutrition Consultants Diploma Course". The Institute was founded in 1984 by Patrick Holford, one of the world's leading authorities on new approaches to health and nutrition. I am proud to have numbered Patrick amongst my lecturers.

However, I quickly realised that although clients typically left a consultation enthused by their new-found knowledge, very few of them actually followed through on what they had learned. This is usually because the stress and distractions of 'real life' get in the way.

Other therapists agreed - apparently, left to themselves, only 14-20% of people change their behaviour in response to information gained. The College of Nutrition Education and Lifestyle Management (CNELM) recognises this and their degree program teaches INLPTA coaching to help clients get the most from their consultation. I obtained the INLPTA diploma and incorporate these techniques in my work.

Professional Associations

As a member of the Complementary Therapists Association, I am committed to the highest professional standards.
