I communicate information on food, nutrition and health, and, hopefully, help to clarify matters. That’s it really. I do this either through the written word – books, mainly – or through personalised consultations.

I have been working in the heady world of nutrition since 1994. Being an utterly incompetent and thoroughly bored secretary in a bank, some time in the late 1980s, forced me to take stock of my life and its direction. I developed an interest in complementary therapies, but these were passing fancies really. It wasn’t until I happened upon nutritional therapy that I realised I’d found my niche.

I studied, graduated in 1994, and set about accumulating as much experience as I possibly could. Fast forward to 2000 and I am a part-time private consultant and part-time lecturer and tutor at the University of Westminster on the first BSc nutritional therapy course in the UK. Somewhere in the middle of all this I studied for and acquired an MSc in Public Health Food and Nutrition. Personal circumstances lifted me out of London and into rural Hertfordshire, where I now live, still practise nutritional therapy, and spend a lot of time researching and writing.

Please note that although I am still in regular practice, I am now only accepting referrals from existing clients. If you would like a consultation with a nutritional therapist, please see the BANT website under Recommended links.
