Practical Nutrition Strategies
Most women I work with have already tried eating less, exercising more or following the latest diet advice and found it either didn't work or wasn't sustainable alongside a busy life.
That's often because generic advice doesn't account for what's actually happening in your body.
I take the time to understand your health history, lifestyle and goals and together we build a practical nutrition plan that's tailored to you and that you'll actually enjoy!
Small changes in the way you eat can make a big difference to how your body feels and functions. Rather than focusing on restrictive diets or rigid meal plans, my approach is to help you understand how food, hormones and lifestyle habits interact.
The aim is to create a personalised way of eating that fits comfortably into your lifestyle while supporting steady energy, better mood and sustainable weight management.

Menopause & Perimenopause Nutrition
Hormonal changes in your 40s and 50s can affect almost everything weight, sleep, energy, mood, digestion and concentration. These symptoms are all connected and nutrition can make a significant difference.
I work with women going through perimenopause and menopause to identify the dietary and lifestyle changes that will have the most impact for them individually.

Weight Loss Over 40
If you've been eating carefully but are still struggling to manage your weight - it's not a lack of willpower.
Hormonal changes, blood sugar imbalances and shifts in metabolism all affect how our body responds to food as we get older.
I'll help you understand what's driving the problem and build a practical, enjoyable way of eating that supports sustainable weight loss without restrictive diets or calorie counting.
