ABOUT ME
"Feel nourished, feel well, feel confident" - that's not just a nice idea, it's personal.
I'm a nutrition and menopause coach, lover of good food, and a firm believer that eating well shouldn't feel like another full-time job.
I'm also a woman in midlife myself. I'm a mum of three young adults, juggling work, family and an ageing parent - and I know only too well how easy it is for looking after yourself to end up near the bottom of the list. I've been through menopause too.
So I understand what it's like when your body starts changing, and some of the things that used to work for you suddenly don't.
Maybe your energy isn't what it was, or your weight has shifted, or your sleep isn't as sound.
Or perhaps you're through the worst of it and simply thinking more about your health now, and how you want to feel as you get older.
That's where I come in.
My Approach
Realistic Nutrition
for Real Life
I help women in midlife and beyond take the guesswork out of eating well, and find simple, realistic ways to nourish themselves better.
No diets.
No rigid meal plans.
No long lists of foods you're suddenly not supposed to eat.
And definitely no expectation that you're going to start cooking everything from scratch, give up cake, or overhaul your life by Monday morning.
Instead, we look at what you're already doing, what's getting in the way, and where a few changes could make the biggest difference.
That might mean finding an easier way to get more protein into your day, making breakfast actually keep you going until lunch, or simply having a better idea of what to eat when you're tired, busy and really can't be bothered to think about it.
It's about making good nutrition work for YOU with consistency and confidence.
Because most women I work with don't need another person stating the obvious "Eat more vegetables, drink more water, move your body". They need help working out how to make those things actually happen in real life (yes, even on days when you just can't be a$*!d).
IT'S ABOUT NOW, AND YOUR FUTURE SELF
There comes a point when health becomes less about how we look, and much more about how we want to live as we get older.
If you're anything like me, you want the energy to enjoy life now but also want to stay strong, active, independent and well for as long as possible.
What we eat can play an important part in supporting our muscles, bones, heart, brain and gut as we age. But that doesn't mean becoming a perfect eater, or spending the rest of our lives worrying about every mouthful.
Quite the opposite. I want you to understand enough about nutrition to make good choices without having to think about food all the time. To enjoy what you eat. To feel confident and consistent in your choices. And to know that what you're doing now is helping look after the woman you want to be in ten, twenty or thirty years' time.
WE MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF...
-
You want to eat better, but you're tired of constantly thinking about what you should and shouldn't be eating
-
You know roughly what healthy eating looks like, but putting it into practice consistently is another matter
-
You're thinking more about your long-term health, and want to stay strong, active and independent as you get older
-
You want to enjoy your food, holidays and meals out without feeling that being healthy means constantly saying "no"
-
You'd rather make a handful of realistic changes that actually stick than attempt another complete overhaul that lasts three weeks
-
You'd like some friendly support and accountability along the way, without judgement, criticism or an expectation of perfection
OH YES, AND IF YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME FUN ALONG THE WAY!
WHY WORK WITH ME
I trained as a nutrition and menopause coach because I wanted women to have the kind of straightforward, practical support that can be so hard to find amongst all the noise around food, menopause and healthy ageing.
I'm a qualified Nutrition and Menopause Coach, registered with the Complementary Medical Association, and a Menopause Champion and MenoChef with the Menopause Experts Group.
I work one-to-one with women, as well as running talks, workshops and practical nutrition sessions for groups, workplaces and organisations. But whatever the setting, my approach is much the same: I'll listen to what's going on for you, help you make sense of what really matters, and find changes that feel manageable enough to actually do.
You won't get judgement, food rules, or an expectation that you suddenly become the perfect healthy eater.
You'll get straightforward, evidence-based nutrition advice, practical ideas that work in real life, and support to help you put them into practice.
Real food. Small changes. No expectation of perfection.
