About Nutritional Therapy

What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the
promotion of health and, peak performance. Nutritional Therapy can
identify potential nutritional imbalances and how these contribute to
symptoms. This approach allows the nutritional therapist to work with
people on many levels by addressing nutritional imbalances and
supporting the body towards maintaining health.

Why use Nutritional Therapy?
Some people simply want to check that they are on the right track
with regard to healthy eating. Others may want to lose weight or get
help with their symptoms. Nutritional Therapists recognise that each
person is an individual with unique requirements and take time to
define a personalised nutrition plan rather than a “one fits all”
approach.

About your BeNourished Nutritional Therapist
                                      Nutrition has always been a lifelong interest for
                                       me.  After a long career in finance, I fell pregnant
                                       with my first child.  While on maternity leave
                                      I decided to re-train as a nutritional therapist 
                                      and completed a 3 year Diploma in Nutritional                     
                                      Therapy with the College of Naturopathic
                                       Medicine.
 
                                      I have always believed and still maintain that
                                       your body is only able to function on what fuel
you provide it and  after suffering my own health problems I have
personal experience on how good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle is  
able to turn your life around.  This helps me to empower my clients in to
making the lifelong changes needed to support and maintain good
health.

Anyone is welcome to the clinic now matter how big or small your
health concern. Having 2 children of my own means that I have a
special interest in good nutrition throughout preconception, pregnancy,
infancy and childhood.  My aim within this area is to ensure that
children start out with a good relationship with food which will
follow them through the rest of their lives.

I am fully insured, member of BANT and am working towards gaining
CNHC accreditation.  I look forward to meeting you soon.
