Why turn to nutritional therapy:
Nutritional Therapy is the use of nutritional science to promote health amongst an individual. This can be working preventatively, with someone in reasonably good health for longevity and to rebalance wellbeing; or helping an individual with an acute or chronic disease to ease or manage symptoms. Western medicine recognises that diet and lifestyle can influence health and bodily function as well as being a risk factor for many diseases. The many constituents within plants, herbs and food is also understood to be protective against many diseases and many conditions can be alleviated using diet and lifestyle alone.
I was trained at the College of Naturopathic Medicine and have a three year diploma in Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy.
Naturopathic nutritional therapy, is the application of the principles of naturopathy alongside nutrition science. Some of these principles include:
*First do no harm - never look to replace medical advice, but work on a complementary basis with medical professionals and refer when necessary
Nutritional therapy recognises what we put on our skin, the air we breath and the food we eat are all crucial environmental factors which affect our health either positively or negatively. What we eat, how we eat and how we cook our food are all crucial to our health. My goal would be to look at all these elements with the hope of educating on good eating habits for the rest of your life.

*First do no harm - never look to replace medical advice, but work on a complementary basis with medical professionals and refer when necessary
- Establish wellness - looking to restore health and vitality
- Treat the whole person - work holistically, looking at the body as a whole which works synergistically rather than one specific organ or function
- Preventative medicine - making lifelong changes which will encourage longevity
- Doctor as teacher - a nutritional therapist should educate and inspire for lifelong dietary change
- Treat the person not the disease and recognise each person is unique so dietary requirements are individual and cannot be generalised
- Find the root cause - every illness has an underlying cause, often in aspects of the lifestyle or dietary habits

‘Nature is doing her best each moment to make us well. She exists for no other end. Do not resist. With the least inclination to be well, we should not be sick.’ (Henry David Thoreau)
