You don’t need another ‘diet’. You need a personalised plan, tailored to you so that you can reach your happy weight without worrying about what everyone else is doing – and you need the accountability and coaching to make it work in your life.
​
You want to be able to wear whatever is in your wardrobe and to walk into a social occasion feeling confident and happy.
Let us support you to get rid of your food cravings, overcome emotional eating and balance those hormones, especially those blood sugar and hunger hormones so that weight loss becomes so much easier and less stressful. And… you can do this by eating delicious, nourishing, varied and interesting foods!
​
We also have a special interest in weight loss for pre-diabetes and metabolic health.
I WANT TO FIX MY HORMONES
When we think of hormones we tend to think of our female menstrual cycle and maybe menopause and yes, obviously they are a major part of a woman’s life but our hormones have a HUGE impact on our overall physical and mental health. It’s impossible to underestimate the impact that these chemical messengers have and the influence that they wield over our emotions, our weight, our energy, hunger and stress levels.
​
All of our hormonal pathways influence and are interconnected with each other.
​
Having a harmonious hormonal system is like a finely tuned orchestra or a well-oiled machine. However, you might be familiar with a few of these symptoms which can indicate that your hormones need a little care.
-
Spare tyre around the middle
-
Gaining weight even though you haven’t changed your diet
-
Low tolerance to stress (or people! or anything really)
-
Adult acne
-
Sore breasts
-
PMT Mood swings
-
Disturbed sleep
-
Painful, very heavy or irregular periods
-
3pm energy slumps
Many women can be ruled by their hormones and feel that they are on a rollercoaster of emotions each month. It’s time to step off that rollercoaster ladies because there’s a way to help to manage your symptoms by making doable, sustainable changes to your food and lifestyle. Even if you are under the care of your GP or specialist a food, supplement and lifestyle programme can run alongside your conventional medicine recommendations to ensure the very best outcome for you.

I WANT TO OPTIMISE MY PERFORMANCE
Are you a keen amateur athlete confused about all of the information out there on what you should be eating to properly fuel your performance? Maybe you’re struggling to get the best out of your training and not seeing the gains or progress you’re hoping for.
​
Many amateur athletes are failing to properly support their training regimes with proper nutrition, resulting in a range of issues.
​
While sport and exercise have huge health benefits, intensive training can put a significant strain on the body’s systems. Failing to get your nutrition right can have significant consequences such as:
-
Recurrent injuries
-
Longer recovery time
-
Fatigue and poor stamina
-
Poor athletic performance
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Compromised immune function.
​
If you’re hoping to take your performance to the next level and keep healthy in the process, then you’ve come to the right place.
​
We’re here to support you with a personalised plan to suit your particular needs, goals and training regime.
No two athletes will have the same needs, so we develop a bespoke plan in consultation with you, taking into account any other health issues you might be dealing with, such as digestive issues or weight loss goal.
